Are there enough platformers we talk about to need it's own thread tag? Mario etc could fit under the banner of "Classic", which unless I'm having a real :downs: moment is a shorter word.

Here's an :effort: piece of poo poo. I'm working on a .gif that cycles between three bigger words if someone who doesn't suck doesn't beat me to it.

If someone can reccomend a better font that'd be nice, I found an FF6 font but that replaces special characters with equipment icons and this font's special characters just look like poo poo.

Ok this is absolute poo poo but I did it and maybe it'll inspire someone with actual image manipulation skills to do better. :v: I don't know what happened to the "that" and I might fix it at some point.


E:VVV Thanks for the advice, I'll work on improving that (probably finding a better font for the swearing) if I go back to it. :)

Ah ok It' a pizza.

I hope its not too hard to tell; it was obviously scaled down pretty significantly and it sure looked like poo poo zoomed in to edit. I considered the classic text box (especially because it would have allowed lazy copying from a screenshot of the line), but I decided to run with the pizza idea when I had it.

Got another iteration on the Barret icon. Goddamn it all these good contributions dropped wordlessly and here I am posting 5 times about this lovely one.

Rather than find another font I traced over the basic shape of the letters and drew my own symbol swearing. My main concerns:
  • Are the single quotes visible?
  • Are the symbols legible, especially the "$"?
  • Is the font too minimalist compared to the relatively detailed Barret sprite and pizza background?
  • Is there a font colour that would contrast better?

I'm not sure the background works. What if you had the text animated against a simple background without Barrett, then a couple frames of Barrett's face appearing? The tiny icon thing doesn't always work.

Haha, well, I can't promise anything because I'm not exactly the most talented animator out there, but I can give it a shot if when I don't sleep well tonight. :v: I can certainly imagine what you mean at least.

Oh man I'm torn, the Bejewelled one from near the start looks smooth but that one's really creative.

There are, like, no bad ones so far.



But seriously I spent like 0 effort and it seems like a waste of the idea (which wasn't mine) to leave the Barret one there.
I completely forgot I did the Yeah one
