Title: Half fun and Half legit request; Posters and Boards!
Post by: Bluhman on July 28, 2008, 01:32:42 AM
Hello everyone! You're probably wondering what this thread is all about. Well, I want to make the Alpha Force city a bit more livened up, as well as a bit easier to navigate. so, I'm letting you all have a hand at creating object charsets for any of the following.


All you gotta do is whip up an image for a poster or board. Posters will be reduced to the size of a charset, mind you, so make sure you put some good colors and stuff on it so that its contents are visible!

Ad boards can end up being pretty hefty, though I'd prefer if they get no larger than 128 pixels. Yeah, it's sort of a sprite job. For these ad boards, the image you make will not be reduced in size whatsoever. You should also make sure your image fits on a 16 by 16 tile grid, as if it doesn't, I'll have to cut off any extra parts of the image to make it fit.

Grafitti should start the size of a charset, and also should show up well on a nice, grey wall.

Now, shop signs; things like Neon signs and other things. As I said before, there's some specific ones I want; this is the real request part of this thread. What I need includes:

A sign that says "Mall"
A sign for the burger joint "Mays Cool's". Should be a nice, classic neon sign.
Sign for hospitals
Garage sign
Gym sign
A.U.B. sign/banner/whatever
Police Station sign
A Subway sign.

All those signs should fit into about 48 by 32 pixels or so, and definitely can be smaller. I'm interested in what you all come up with (If you do...) Thank you very much for your time!

I'd try, but I don't feel I'd get anything good on such a small canvas. If you need giant roof top signs let me know haha.

I'm not sure it's any good, but it's there if you want it.  You can use a parallel event to make the 'o' flicker every now and then if you feel like it.

Heh heh. Thanks. A nice little recolor will work wonders for that.

I'll make something.

Also found these wanted posters lying around. Feel free to use them if you want.

They are to big for charsets though.

Lots of things.

The A.U.B. sign, a hospital sign (R.C.R. stands for "Roosevelt City Regional"), a police department sign (R.C.P.D. Stands for ... You guessed it! Roosevelt City Police Department.), an advertisement poster for "Guitar Legend II" (Gee, wonder where he got that idea from?), an advertisement poster for "Shade Eyewear", and an advertisement poster for a stereotypical "War Game". I was too lazy to convert it to 256 colors and divide them all into tiles. But there they are.

Pure Awesome. All of those are perfect!

Thank you, and you're welcome.

I'll make more ad posters for fun, since I'm done with my Sprite-Off submission.
