And so, having somehow managed to defeat the ephemeral-like, one brave soul (and suicidal monkey) descend into the mouth of madness, and search for the unknown. Oh crap, are those walls moving!?

Not voting in this one.
Gray's palette turns me off, Gleeock's screen has too much repetition, and MD's screen is an empty, basic Pure shot.

What's up with the outlined sand, gray0x? You'd be better off using just the normal sand tiles at the edges; it gives more of an illusion of a transition, rather than having that boxy outline.

Gray0x by far. The second one, eh, not feeling it. Plus the fact I have to click to enlarge it. And the third one, well, like I haven't seen a million screenshots that look like that. Way too generic.

I guess I have to go with Sharon although it lacks some Pure Detail.

Gray0x has a perfectly designed gameboy shot.

Indeed. And that's what I voted for.

For the first time in weeks, I shall give my opinions!
gray0x: Voted for your shot. For some reason I like the uniform ecru color, and the shot is relatively appealing.
Gleeok: Not really SotW quality. While it is most certainly impressive, I couldn't really vote for it.
mighty_darknut: It's not bad... except the water, for as plain as it is, covers up too much of the screen. The right side of the screen looks nice, though.

Yeah, honesty glee, your shot sucks. I mean, come on now.
I'm voting for gray0x, because it an empty, terrible shot. :)

wow, people actually like it. I hate my shot, personally.
Gleeok - as I've said before, the shot it a fun playable screen, but it is not sotw worthy.
Sharon - the right side of the shot is great, but the rest is a little bland and such.

We are all used to call Mighty Darknut Sharon Daniel aren't we? We in PZC miss her.
@gleeok: is that supposed to be a Patra?

1) They should unban me. O:
2) I think gleeok's enemies are all scripted.

Everybody there thinks so. Everybody except the Site Staff. :(

A patra? :odd: I don't see it.
It's just one of those things you have to play to believe I guess, :shrug: otherwise you never thought it'd be possible in zc.
I suppose now looking at that shot in a different perspective, like maybe what you guys are seeing it as, It does look really bland and you're not sure what exactly is supposed to be going on there, and it is quite repetitive...though after even watching a one-second clip of it in real time, all doubt is removed.
It's just one of those things. I always have a tough time getting screenshots to come out good.
Everybody there thinks so. Everybody except the Site Staff.
Why the heck did you get banned in the first place? That made no sense.
..Then again, I'm never extremely active there...

I vote they unban you too, but since I don't go to pure I guess it really doesn't matter ;)

I voted for Grey0x. I like the real GB colors. I dunno why, but it is appealing for some reason. Gleeok's is interesting, but it doesn't really fit the bill for SotW. It seems like it would be better in motion. Sharon's is nice. I like pure, but compared to the grey0x's, it is a bit less.
1) They should unban me. O:
Man.. You don't seriously wanna go back to that shit hole filled with biggotry and stupidity, do you?
I was unbanned once... it was cool for minute. Then, it started to suck again.

Tobias, I gotta correct you. I'm not a damn Englishman, it's spelled gray0x, with a lowercase g.

Great quote right there though.
Why is it I have a feeling this will be SotW #2 that has turned into a "I hate Pure ZC" thread? :rolleyes:

Why even bother talking about the shots themselves? Sadly to say it, but SotW here is exactly the same deal as it is at PZC (although that may be due to how pretty much everyone here who gives a shit about ZC, yes, all 12 of us, are also at PZC). The first opinion tends to be the only opinion and the winner can be easily predicted within the first few hours.

Please stop bashing Revfan, or even anyone, in this forum. If anyone feels the need to pick a fight, please take it to GB. Remember that I can give warnings and infractions within this forum.
PureZC hating is acceptable, and even encouraged.

grayox sure knows how to make a monochromatic gameboy shot look interesting.
I dont see whats wrong with PureZC by the way.

The downloadable content on PureZC is great. It's the discussion forums that people have a problem with. It's essentially MySpace with zelda-themed conversations.

Didn't like any of the shots but according to my trusty six-sided die greyOx's was the best.

Nah, it's more like 4chan than it is like MySpace.

Well I actually kinda agree with Rev. Most of the tiles in PureZC are already in the tilesets.

This one got my vote. It's open, yet, looks good at the same time. It's nice to see the old GB Pallette. Nice work!
Gleeok
I'm sorry, dood, but this is too repititious for my tastes. I'd imagine it would be a blast to play, but not material for a still screen-shot.
Mighty Darknut
It's alright. It's too empty for my tastes, but the design is alright. A little more detail, and this may have had my vote.
Nah, it's more like 4chan than it is like MySpace.
Well, whatever it's like, I like it. I've always felt more drawn to AGN, but Pure ZC has more activity and more member my age, so I post there more (although I visit both sites whenever I'm at the computer).

It's like zc 4-bit spriters design academy and feng-shui color management for the developing artist. Someone will post a project their working on and will always get replies about how they used 'bad' colors whether they wanted to hear them or not.
They've definitely got the best resources though. ...now if only they were up to date with the current zc capabilities.
Congrats gray0x with the successful minimalist design. Is that a full quest you're working on?

Hey, I am up-to-date thank you very much... I have pictures to show it. The problem is that people want to work with unrealistic color management--Devoting thirty-two colors to a single little sprite is a bit of an overkill, especially when it comes to just one single event. It may be pretty, but it's not when it comes to having to put other things in later on. It's called keeping consistency to a real "console"--DS, GBA, GB/GBC, NES or SNES, whatever you choose, it's best to keep within that range, no more, no less. (So, for those who don't know, that would be 16 colors for a sprite. 32 colors are acceptable as a general sprite palette, given that those sprites keep within that range, but still use 16 or less colors.)
Oh, and finally Gleeok, the 4-bit thing isn't our fault; the lack of those who look for an alternate tileset instead of Classic is their own.
(Not to mention that I'm entering...)
Revfan9
06-21-2008, 09:03 PM
Not to mention that, most of the time, when you use too many colors in a single sprite, the end result just looks bad. Keeping a lower amount of colors not only makes it easier on you and your tileset, it also will often make your graphics look more clean and appealing.
Sure you can use 16 shades of each color on a sprite, that's not a problem. The question is, should you use that many?

06-21-2008, 10:55 PM
I voted for GrayOx, I liked the colors. :) Gleeok's shot has really good graphics, but is too repetitive.

Much better. I assume that ripples come at the top? I don't know what it is about the blue you use, but I absolutely love the blue. I don't know why, I just really like the blue you have. (Weird, I know, but I just had to say that.)

Yep, ripples appear at the top. I like the blue too; I just tweaked Pure's palette a little bit, but I think it's a big improvement.
