Fox McCloud Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 It was made fairly clear to me that this is definitely a sore spot between communities--if there's definitive proof that the original spriter is ok with it--then Yeah, I don't see any reason to change it...but the fact that more than a couple of Goon coders have informed me that this is a "touchy" subject so to speak, bit makes me think that it's a "not ok" thing.

davidchan Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 If the Spriter is okay with others using their work it's up to the Coders to get over it and remember they don't own SS13. As for the pods, I prefer the second design. Is there anyway to put klaxons or strobe lights on Security pods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasparoVv Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just in case anyone ever changes their minds, those arwing-esque sprites look absolutely killer. Evaluating them based on looks alone; they feel loads better than any pod sprites I've seen yet-- if only because of how novel it is, which isn't it's only feature But meh Any chance you'll upload them anywhere for free grabsies, Nein?

kukeke11 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well this is my go on the new pods I made them that shape because space pods usually mean circular one man space vehicle. If you wish to use my sprites I will create rest of the needed ones. Also help me decide which coloring is better. Well I also added construction For some reason when I copy sprites from byond DMI to paint.net to make these images they lose transparency.

Fj45 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Really doesn't match normal SS13 sprites. Are you using the same pixel count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRogueAce Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 yes and no, yes it's the 48x48 size but he's not making large squared pixels, just using small ones, making it detailed than is normal for SS13 art style Here they are compared to the current pod. Also lack of border makes it look weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinatacolada Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Looks like the new ones are of higher resolution to me.... You should try to make them have matching pixel densities, that kind of stuff strikes out easily and just looks odd. That said, I like the new design much better.

Also lack of border makes it look weird Borders are used by amateurs, instead of making same style as SS13 currently is we should strive to improve the look of SS13 and this would be the begginning I'm willing to make more improved sprites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I like the new design much better. it is the same resolution 48x48 also fun fact the folder is called 48x48 but the icons are 64x64 for some reason..

While it's true that some things with obvious outlines can look "bad" it's usually due to poor color choices and weird angles/linework. Having a darker outline can really help bring more depth to something that would otherwise appear very flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about strong outlines, and if you look you can see that my icon has outlines, if i would remove outlines it would look verry different. and in SS13 everything does look rather flat even with nice fat outlines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidchan Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Sec pod needs flashing lights. I know nobody will ever see them, but plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox McCloud Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Really doesn't match normal SS13 sprites. Are you using the same pixel count? This, so much. Most SS13 sprites are simple, outlined, and communicate only what need to be communicated with only a few minor details. Whatever the re-designed sprite may be, it needs to be in line with the general SS13 theme....and that design uh...isn't it, no offense. Still looking for potential submissions on this, by the way!

CheckFinished Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Your pod is awesome, kukeke. I really don't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fethas Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I like both types. I would say Arwing for Military pods and the one like Kukeke for Civie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidNightfury Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 While improving the look is a good endeavor, it's not something that can be done a sprite at a time without causing a huge period of disassociated styles. If the entire game were to be redone to a higher degree of quality, huge numbers of sprites would need to be redone at once, which is a hell of a lot of work for something that is pretty much okay right now anyways. Also, I'm working on something for this. Might be worth putting up. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidNightfury Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Finished a starter design, without different color versions and such yet, but here's my take: And again, upscaled to the 2x2 that the actual pod is, I'm not sure if that matters or whatever but here it is.

MrRogueAce Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Well, tried to make the coloring simpler since you guys don't want to improve look of SS13 I figured out why it looked weird to me, it wasn't the border, It was the colors. Here's the Original. | Here's the Recolor the "48x48" for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidNightfury Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I designed it on top of a file of the previous pod sprite. It matches that resolution. Don't know if that resolution is in fact 48x48 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
