Isometric Colab: New One

If his name were directly above his square it would not be to the right so far... As it is, it looks like it's right on top of the square north east of his, or floating partly above the square south east of his... Either way placing your name in such large text is still pretty selfish... This is a collaboration, not a "Check out the square that I made! Pay attention to me! My square is greater than everybody elses!"

If you want to show which square is yours use a few pixels inside your square to print your initials, like some people did in the first collaboration... The names of contributors are placed at the bottom of the collaboration when it's finished anyway.

At least, that is my opinion.

I agree. I thought it was stupid in the last collab for everyone to put their name in it, but because everyone did it, I thought perhaps it was ideal to do so, so I myself put "Ant" in there, so as to keep with the style.

But, there is no doubt that the two top left squares in the top row of the other collab were "selfish" squares as well.

Well, at least ELK is in its own square for now, so it's easy to paint over. I am not sure if it should be right to put things into the collab that hide previous pieces, like the ELK hides the pyramid. So, we should probably address that issue as well, because this is a piece where obviously people are utilizing the Z element quite nicely. But, if it affects an already added rhombus, should this be permissible?

This is a problem that I was thinking about earlier, and it gave me an idea, but it will have to wait for another isometric collab before I can try and implement it...

Have people draw their squares on the big grid, but also as its own entity... This way we can later import all of the seperate squares into something like Flash and create a dynamic collaboration with rollovers or such.

oh my, a stick person is hanging on to a rope for his dear life.
(one of my frist tries at pixel art)

edit: oh god @ compression. let me fix that.
edit2: fixed

I must say, the tiles are working well for whatever we put on them.

Im currently working on a graal collab database, so all past collabs can be viewed ^-^
I need an idea so i can add something to this collab.

Hey, if you've got VIP, use your webspace.

[SoSolid66]

Loving this thread, it's interesting

I had to spill over just a little bit into the square in front of mine, but I sort of had to. Hope you enjoy. ^ ^

No new VIP webspace is being activated... I tried to get mine activated at least a month ago... It took a couple of weeks before I realized that it was going to take more than the 24 hours suggested by the login screen for my webspace to activate, so I emailed the support address provided there. Waited a couple weeks, no response, sent a ticket, waited a a bit longer... Finally Unixmad replied and said something along the lines of this...

"The VIP webspace activation is not working. We're trying to fix it. We will contact you when it's fixed."

That was the jist of his message anyway, not exact words... Anyway, that was a long time ago.

[Valder]

There, fixed it.

[Lord Sephiroth]

With a powerful stomp Mario crushed in the square, and after assuming the existance of the stickman was long over, he left.
Mario has left the grid.

[Antago]

That Mario...when will he learn that violence is not the way?
