Still Hard At Work!

(15)

Posted by Dazz - June 21, 2014 - 8:44 AM

We're still hard to work bringing our new icons to the masses. It's going strong, and we're over 50% of the way there for The Spriters Resource! We're looking for a way to introduce the icons alongside the old ones, so we can start adding new sheets using the new, and faster, system.

We've been reluctant to make the current style icons for pending submissions when we have the new ones on the way. It just adds extra work for later. So the best solution is work out how we can just make the new ones while we work on revamping everything!

Enjoy the update guys, and hopefully next time, we'll have some awesome new features for you!

	Ian, ShadeDBZ makes a good point. The reason that I started out ripping sprites was because I had an interest in the Pokemon series (PMD). I had no prior knowledge of how to rip sprites, let alone about emulators and such. I literally started out with searching "how to rip sprites from DS games" on Google and taught myself. Think about how you learned how to rip from Flash Games. If you have the passion towards these games, I see no reason not to search for a ripping tutorial and giving it a go. It is not difficult. It IS fun. The great thing about taking the time to learn how to rip, is it allows you to take action. If you find a game that you enjoy that you can't find the sprites for online, then you can try to get the sprites yourself.

	Because, obviously, we were all born with the knowledge to rip from "console-based" games. We didn't have to learn how to do it or anything. Also, being a "spriter" has nothing to do with whether or not you can rip/extract sprites from a particular game, you don't seem to be using the term correctly. And with an attitude like that, expect many more neg-reps.

	@ShadeDBZ Just because I can only rip from Flash Games and Cartoons with a decomplier, doesn't mean I can rip from console-based video games. I'm not a spriter if I can only rip from Flash-based games. Call me a Flasher. @Dazz And just because I make Looney Tunes-related requests and that everybody neg-reps me, I'd much rather have negative reputation points rather than have any at all.

	What's the big deal, anyway? If you really did care enough, you'd learn how to rip from every Looney Tune game your heart desires.

	No need to be too sarcastic, Ian :P Soon enough someone'll rip something from a LT game. Maybe idunno

	I didn't make a hundred requests. The Looney Tunes Gang only had about a few Consoled Video Games. But now that I've got a Bad Reputation (-2), I can fully admit that they may never be accepted. In fact, I may never see another Looney Tunes-related Sprite Addition Update again.

	You're only saying that because people told you to stop making hundreds of requests...

	Awesome! Hope you guys can figure out a good system for submitting with the new icons soon, I've been putting off ripping anything until that happens! And of course, nice update!
