pixelblink

what's funny is I was about to post this

I feel bad for you :P

3 rips (not even actual pixel art). 3 strikes. He's out. Simple enough.

we were just waiting for some snarky reply to come from you. Success! It's in!

GR: your news item was better suited to the chatterbox or the OT thread. Seriously. News submissions that haven't any effort put into the write up also get rejected.

As far as quotes go, only Sedge has the ability to add those... and does it really matter that much anyways? Do many people scroll down that far to read em?

there are a number of issues with this piece that need addressing. Please put this up in the WIP section of the forums to gain some insight from your peers

sharprm: oh absolutely, though not neccessarily worded in that way. Also, we need to move on from the Dogmeat incident. There have been many incidents in the past that we don't dwell on (ex-mods included) and I really believe that, in order to build a better community, we should start focusing on the positive and the present. At present, we have a collection of members that scare new people away. How do we change that? By positively changing their base reactions towards new members and art that may blur the lines of what is accepted here.

Personally, I feel we've loosened up a biton things like color counts and demoscene. I feel we do need to set some serious standards on what is acceptable via visual representation and that will most definitely be addressed in the upcoming PJ Ver3 roll out. Alot of issues will be corrected in the roll out actually. For the meantime, I really feel what we can do now would be to focus on some positive community building. I can't personally babysit every member (or act like "big brother") to watch their every action, but we can work together to help correct those negative behaviourial issues that come up all too often.

a community is only as good as its members

if the members rise up only to discourage others and not contribute in any positive and productive way, be it through their art or their comments, then the community fails.

This particular community is full of naysayers and lazyness, true, but it is also full of fantastic people that do attempt to welcome aboard new mebers and educate through their own art and comments. It's simply unfortunate that a seemingly large amount can't follow that lead.

Of course new members should use their common sense and realize that just because a few people seem to want to sabotage their efforts they shouldnt just pack up and leave. It's up to themselves to help make that change. It's up to YOU to make that change. Whining and complaining without action is not going to get you anywhere.

I've still got a little bit of faith in you guys and gals to build a better community.

reread the rules. Original game mock ups only

Firstly: collab accounts are NOT allowed whatsoever. This issue will be properly addressed and incorporated into the next development phase of PJ. For the time being I suugest not opening up any other accounts or posting collab work as it will not be approved.

Secondly: you don't even have the detail image uploaded... for the second time

Any questions? PM me

there is no animation. Please edit your detail file with the animated version

every Saturday? I can't tell you how often I tell the ladies what I do and they drop their clothes for me. ;)

"selling shit" is on our list of objectives

collabs is on our list of objectives as well.

I've been pushing this for awhile now with Sedge and it's good to see the ball is finally rolling. We gladly will accept any and all input in the PJv3 thread in the forums but, if you have anything you wish to put by me personally, shoot me a pm and I'll talk it through.

No, this is NOT another april fools joke either :D

please post your reference as well as remove that silly white bg

it's not saturated enough to be GR's

oh snap! I really thought this WAS Skeddles.. good job on fooling me

Video Game Fan Art = WIN

and since this art is laden with 9136 colours and plastered with your watermakr, I cannot allow this in our gallery.  I hope you can understand this reasoning :)

I can't let this through looking like this. I highly suggest presenting it in a better way that doesn't look so much like a wip screenshot. Focus is on the pixels not the software/game/app you want to promote

AB: perhaps it's because we're trying to figure out if you're being a douche or just lazy enough to not produce something better. We know you've got it in you but this is silly. So, congratulations! It's out of the queue and into the the rejection pile. (You brought it public and so did I) You're welcome

thank you for the revisions :) back in the challenge

please post your reference... and yes, something is fishy (pun intended) about the large colour count but it does seem to utilize traditional pixel methods... just a large waste of colours IMO.

A list of the current mod staff

This really is not gallery material in many of our opinions. It's great to want to experiment and whatnot but, this sort of practice should be left to your hardrive

This requires some more development. Try taking it to the forum for more critique in order to prepare it in time for the challenge.

removing this from the challenge unless you can lower the colour count to the require max of 48. PM me should you need this put back into the challenge before time is up
