So, stemming from the ongoing discussion about tMR, i was looking through the sheets available on the site, 121k of them available. I was thinking since this was done before with the icons as a long-running sitewide project, perhaps it might be time to consider a standardised layout for sheets? I'm not suggesting everything gets reripped etc, but slowly working through to provide each sheet on the same red format background the site is based on?
Considering the top box now contains information on the submitter, it might be good to add say, three more info slots: other credits(for people who are acknowledged in the sheet but didn't submit), credit needed, and tSR exclusive? Then from there work towards removing large portions of blank space and try to get the sheets so that they are more streamlines, bring in the process of this for new sheets and give the site a more standardised look?
Obviously this is a huge project but this is why i suggest it be done over time, even just updating 10/20 sheets a week or so would work towards everything coming across more professional, if new submissions are held to this standard as well. A tutorial for how to lay out the sheets would be easy to make and it would be a good project for the community as a whole?
EDIT: I also think, if possible, it would be good to just get an alphabetical list of all games/sheets, or sortable list by popularity, amount of sheets, amount of games, etc, list all sheets/games in a console?
EDIT 2: I took a quick shot at showing kinda how i meant here:
Here is a sheet ripped by Sam: https://www.spriters-resource.com/game_b...heet/3713/
Here is the same sheet quickly edited to fit with the colour scheme of the site: https://i.imgur.com/CzJNDAx.png
The tag has been removed as credit tags are, imo just a callback to the older days of ripping sprites, now you have the ripper credited on the site with a link to their profile, it seems redundant. Perhaps you could even make a suggestion that if the person wants the sheet to be tSR exclusive they leave a small gap in the bottom right and then if they check the box, a small watermark is applied, but one that is standardised across all sheets?
This is all just idea either way, i just like to give examples of what i mean
