I'm so glad this is finally a thing that exists. Are you going to do All Stars versions of 1 through 3?


	AsteriskX Jun 11 2015, 8:28 PM
This is pretty cool :)


	Willsaber Jun 11 2015, 9:00 PM
I've never been a fan of these kind of sheets, but I have to admit, these are really good! The Super Mario World one looks a little iffy to me (probably just because I'm not a huge fan of that style), but the rest look much better than the originals!


	Xandalf Jun 11 2015, 9:01 PM
I'm waiting for that SMB3 one to be used in a hundred fan games. Naw, just kidding these are radical man.

	SuperMuppet Jun 11 2015, 9:38 PM
Heh, they look real cute.


	Random.NICK Jun 11 2015, 9:59 PM
Wow! These are great! Are you thinking of doing something like this for Luigi?

That looks nice AwesomeZack. (BTW for the other powerups, I think that's easy to do, unless you're about to make a mega powerup sheet based on that)


	RedChan Jun 12 2015, 9:06 AM
Awesome like every time


	FieryExplosion Jun 12 2015, 4:35 PM
This looks pretty cool! I like the way they look so different from the originals. Hope to see more from you!

why do you have these needlessly complicated backgrounds on your sprite sheets

As long as he's not writing the words "Blank Space!" into empty space, I'm living with it.


	Mit Jun 14 2015, 6:34 AM
why not try to improve the sprites themselves rather than make the sheets have a bunch of needless junk in them? these sprites are definitely far from perfect (SMB1 in particular is very blobby) and wasting time on making the sheet rather than the sprites themselves "look unique" is a waste of time.

Just because he put unnecessary time into the backgrounds doesn't really mean that he spent any less time on the sprites themselves than he would have.

No, it's called irrational nitpicking. How are the backgrounds detracting from the quality and usability of the sprites? The backgrounds have absolutely nothing to do with the sprites themselves; they don't affect the sprites in any way, so saying they do is just silly and makes you look like a fool.


	SuperMuppet Jun 16 2015, 12:58 AM
The backgrounds feel like they're wasting too much space


	Friendly Dictator Jun 16 2015, 1:43 AM
the backgrounds make it harder to use the sprites. there's no single background colour, and it makes the sheet unnecessarily large


	Mit Jun 16 2015, 5:15 AM
exactly. it's wasting space. there's no point in it being there. it LITERALLY makes it more difficult to extract the sprites from the sheet and into something like game maker. there's no difference between this and writing something dumb like "xD BLANK SPACE!!!".

The backgrounds don't make extracting the sprites that much harder. There is only one definite color as a background of each sprite. The backgrounds don't invade the squares the sprites are in, so You can easily delete everything around the sprites. Unless it actually creates a real problem, you shouldn't be complaining about it.

The point of a spritesheet is utility. Sheets should be clean and as small as possible to keep file size low, ideally. Adding a bunch of background stuff, while visually pleasing, is nothing but unnecessary junk. Stick to just the sprites themselves next time.

I can do what I want, these are my sprite sheets, I don't care what you think. If you don't like what I'm doing here, then just get out.

way to dodge criticism, have fun staying in mediocrity purgatory forever

Quote (AwesomeZack on Jun 16 2015, 4:43 PM) And what about you, Mr. Argument Master? Who actually cares what you think? you should. because i'm giving you criticism, which you need, in order to make better sprites. that's generally how it works? need some examples of what criticism does? look at everything i've done in the past year.

Sprite Sheets tend to get treated like pieces of art themselves these days. They have for a long time, actually. In reality, they're an asset used to create art. It's not a crime to sort your sprites like this, but it makes it that much harder to get from the website to somebody's game that way. This is what a sprite sheet is supposed to look like: [ link ] So you can throw it in a folder, and if you're making your game in C++ or something, you can make your program animate it without having to remove all the needless stuff. With this sheet, there would be some work to do before you could do that.

I fixed it


	EvilYoshiToes Jun 18 2015, 2:19 AM
Yeah, I agree with Mit and the others here. The backgrounds, whether or not they detract from the quality of the sprites themselves, are unnecessary and do make the sheet harder to use and they increase the file size. I think the best way to present a sprite sheet would be to have everything as tight and easy to use as possible, since the backgrounds of the sheet won't be of any use to people anyways, and most people don't want unnecessary space taken up. Also, you shouldn't get so defensive you know. Criticism is helpful, even if you don't like what you are being told.


	RaymanFan1995 Jun 18 2015, 3:41 AM
It really amazes me how many immature children there are here. You kids may think you're giving constructive criticism, but in reality, all you're doing is nitpicking. Rather than whining about something as simple as backgrounds, why not try actually criticizing the sprites themselves? Just remove the backgrounds yourselves when you use the sprites and stop whining. It's really not that hard.


	Cake Jun 18 2015, 5:11 AM
This isn't nitpicking, this is an attempt to help reformat the sprite sheets. There are no positive effects to adding backgrounds to the sprite sheets. Even if it isn't "that hard" to remove backgrounds, this takes time away from actually implementing the sprites and making things work. It's simply unneeded, and it requires editing no matter what with those backgrounds in place.

Its a bit ridiculous to target one (edit: Luigi sheet isn't exempt according to imaginary cake's post) when 8 others do the same thing. EDIT 2: Okay, mainsite screws up links. Copy the submission ID to your URL.

Um, they don't detract from the actual sprites... Im with NES Boy and Somari64 on this one. Because AwesomeZack made these backgrounds as a supplementary take to show how each variation fits for each of game styles people may want to use them for their own fangames that may or may not also be either using or wanting to use any of the art styles of their choice. However, I will agree that its unneeded because he, as a content creator, does not need to go above and beyond to do just that. The thumbnail does it enough. I just see it as an example of how they fit in with these games' respectful art styles.

Look, I understand what you are going for with these backgrounds, but at the end of the day, you have to provide a better argument to your detractors regarding why you put in those extras. Using ad hominem is not the way to do it.


	Mit Jun 18 2015, 2:20 PM
i never said it detracted from the sprites. i said the sheet. it detracts from the usability and therefore quality of the sheet. and the other sheets are "exempt" because they're older. no point in dragging it out to there. not every sheet gets comments from certain people.
