I really think that for the time being the coding challenge has to accept graphics from all over the site just to have a large enough set. That gives whoever does the coding challenge more flexibility in their themes too. (Is someone doing that? Am I doing that? I've used itch.io for personal projects and could learn to use the others, but I don't want to bite off more than I can chew.)
Though it's a possibility. They wouldn't necessarily have to be a duality, but the trick would be to make theme related (or relatable, which isn't quite the same thing) but not repetitive. Might even give me some themes by thinking about how it could work, theoretically. Hrmmm.
@MedicineStorm: If the last time around we took a week as the end period for votes they probably had a good a reason. Might as well do it this time too.
Since I give a little time to think about the challenge before it starts I guess there's no reason not to set it off soon. That way we can announce the winner the same time submissions start for the next one.
And looks like everyone's on the same page for theme selection, so that's set too.
I'll have the new thread up when it's ready to go.
We're winding down and will be past the deadline very soon. I'm giving it a bit for it to still be Jan. 15th in all time zones. The counting of favorites and declaring a winner will come after that. I figure we have to give that a few days to be fair to any last second entries, if there are any. Keep in mind I know the theme ahead of time and advertise more than participate, so my entries will never count unless someone else is hosting it and I don't know the theme.
The current plan is to announce the new theme this week after the first winner is declared and then set the week of Jan. 22nd to the 28th for the entry period for the second challenge. It kind of becomes staggered that way and gives a little extra time to think about the theme before doing it.
Cute! Almost a shame to make him (or her?) an enemy.
As far as other animations go, the main one I can think of is just the egg before it cracked open. And maybe an image of busting out to get what you see here.
Love seeing the result so far. There's a little bit of a mix on theme.
There's still time yet to get more official entires for anyone still working on it.
@chasersgaming: For right now I have no problem with picking themes. I figure we can do that for right now to get the thing going. I can do it a little while for sure, maybe longer. We'll see.
Voting for themes is not really my favorite. I know Ludum Dare and some others make that a huge part of the process, but I don't think that works real well at the end and just wastes a lot of time for most people. Ideas are welcome, and old threads are good inspiration.
I have no problem with anything the community decides to do, though.
Cool style. Generous license. Thanks!
Sweet!

This is a very functional addition to the LPC set. Adding to the full extent of graphics for it is always a good thing. Thanks!
Another one where the individual parts could also be used for various other things too. Like that.

Can definitely imagine these in a mine-exploration 2D platformer. Colors look like they'd stand out against a cave background well. Very cool.
