New tileset contest - October 23rd 2006
PurpleJazz7 has decided to host a tileset contest. It’s got a fairly large variety of options, making the contest suitable for everyone’s style.
Option 1:
You can use as many colours as you like but it be only 100 tiles.
Option 2:
You can only use the Sprite colours (you aren’t allowed to edit them), but you can use 300 tiles.
Option 3: You can use any colours and 200 tiles but it must have Christmas theme.
Option 4: You can use any colours except the original sprite colours. These must be edited. You can use 250 tiles.
Option 5: You can use any colours but it can only be 10 tiles, like in NOKA’s The Smallest Tileset Ever
If you’re interested, post in the thread and get to making a tileset already!

Suggested by Nimrod: CliffyB shows you around the Epic Games headquarters. Somewhat notable since the Jazz Jackrabbit games make a few minor cameos. Click through to the “The 1UP Show ‘Gears of War Special’” after clicking on the link.

wel, corny stories seem to be popular around here, so I guess it’s a good thing most levels do have such a corny story (those two things may be related though). Another noteworthy point is that this poll got 1 vote less than the previous poll that made sense (!)
New poll is about graphical tileset toolz!
