I think I am doing Pokemon.
The biggest problem is sprites

Lol. I had the idea to do the Pokemon TCG as well. I've made the first 21 card sprites already, actually.

"You're going down" happybobjr says competitively.

anyways, I think I will do a style similar to Yugioh: Reshef of destruction.

If i am capable of doing all the sprites, I am going to have normal and multiplayer.
My biggest concern is the amount of memory sprites are going to take.

I am only going to use the original 151 Pokemon.
I am not sure weather I should use 16 by 16 sprites monochrome, 16 by 16 sprites in 4 lvl gray, or 32 by 32 sprites.

I dunno if I'm entering for sure yet, but I have definitely started spriting and creating some mock-ups. If I do decide to enter, I'll create a topic over on UTI and post some mock-ups and stuff, as per the rules.

Just make sure to not make a game that is too huge, though, since you have like 3 months.

It looks like i am going to have aprox 10000 bytes of data so far (uncompressed)

Wow i forgot about energies and trainer cards
I think I will leave out trainer cards.
I think I will have to have an app var to old most of my data... I didn't realize how big pokemon would be.
*Happybbojr puts his secret project on hold to play with some pokemon cards.


Edit:  All seems good.  The idea for the layout is still kind of fuzzy.

oooh, niiice, I am actually thinking of joining this, but I think I shall skip, I got enough on my hands with 2 projects that are both never having enough time for

Are you having pictures of the pokemon?

Ouch sorry to hear Xeda . Btw why can't you join? Is it just due to lack of time? I personally can't since I'm no longer student and live outside of USA.

Oh, right, moderators can't join. X.x

On Omni staff can join contest, but not judges, and as a result of staff being allowed to join, nobody except the judges even know about the theme until the very last second.
