RE: The VG Resource Icon Renovation - Dazz - 10-08-2015
Oh, no, please don't do animations. That is very much against our motive at this stage.
You're straying too far without asking if you can do so first - I'm going to remove you from the project as a result. Sorry, but I think you may not understand what the purpose of this project is. You've also ignored details outlined in the first post by trying to bypass the "no animated gifs" portion.
RE: The VG Resource Icon Renovation - Telespentry - 10-08-2015
oh. Sorry. But it IS just a png. I missed the "no animated gifs part" somehow.

Oh, I saw the animation and while it looks good and I'm glad to see support for APNGs finally becoming a thing, I just assumed it was a normal animated GIF uploaded before we started the project since...

I figured that was pretty clear and skirting around the actual text by submitting it as a PNG instead of a GIF doesn't change the fact that we aren't looking for animated icons at the moment. Personally, I like them here and there but too many of them is majorly distracting so it's easier to just not use them at all, at least for now.
RE: The VG Resource Icon Renovation - Telespentry - 10-08-2015
Yeah that makes sense. I am actually not sure how I missed the "no animated gifs" part since I saw the resolution I needed to use right next to it.

//slightly off-topic here
I wonder what benefits apng actually could have?
I think it'd be kind of interesting if that could someday yield to the creation of animated sprite sheets in games.

RE: The VG Resource Icon Renovation - Dazz - 10-09-2015
Please don't make icons if you don't know what you're making... A lot of those icons for Castle of Illusion aren't anything like the actual bosses.
RE: The VG Resource Icon Renovation - Telespentry - 10-09-2015
nevermind about what I said here wasn't 11th

That could be a problem in general.
I based them on the original icons..
Someone wants to do it right, they're most likely going to have to find either a good video/picture ref (I couldn't!)
Or play the game themselves.
I couldn't find ANYTHING on that particular version of the game, but I found a TON for something that I assume was either re-make, or simply alternative release. Didn't bother researching what the case really was. But this is going to be a problem for that game in particular.

UGH!
This is probably one reason I don't work with models, but still...
Anyone can tell that's pretty awful...
No offense to ...someone...but... that seriously needs a re-do
RE: The VG Resource Icon Renovation - 11th - 10-09-2015
I haven't touched any Dreamcast models. :/ I can show you every single icon I have made.
RE: The VG Resource Icon Renovation - Petie - 10-09-2015
And this is why publicly calling people out is bad. How is it you guys arrived at the conclusion that 11th is the one who made that icon? I can't prove it either way but regardless, public call-outs like this serve no purpose other than to cause drama so refrain from them in the future. If you have a concern with this nature, take it up with the person responsible or with the staff via PM.

I was kind of curious of that, myself...
but still...that's a pretty bad icon
In some ways, I prefer... short of me announcing it, someone cannot figure-out which section/game I'm fixing icons for.
(because some would be inclined to jump-in and do them before I can... >.> )

yeah, sorry...
People are used to generalizing and scapegoating sadly...
Even myself, much as I try to avoid it.

looked like the render type I had only ever seen 11th do on here. I already cleared it up. Probably should stop jumping to conclusions even if there is more evidence towards it than not
RE: The VG Resource Icon Renovation - 11th - 10-09-2015
That Sonic model was included in the August 2015 update post. It already had icons, and any changes would have gone through Revisions.
Anyway, sorta' continuing this from the last page, but what exactly should we do if there's a model with errors? Should they still get new icons, or should we just leave them be for now so they're easier to find later?

If the model itself is completely broken, you could set up a revision to call for its removal like a few other submissions have been earlier, for example.

Slay is...ugh...
Not too impressed with that ripper...
I also got the 2/3 of the remaining icons done here:

This just needs a new title screen icon from what i can tell, then it's good to go!
