I Like the cafepress idea, everyone can sell their goods and have the forums be a medium, the mods will set up guidelines, and the people who run the site get a % kickback. that way everyone makes out

Why should pixelation re-open its programming section? Its not a programming site, its a site about pixel art. If you want to discuss programming/game development, go to www.rpg-dev.net or www.rpgdx.net or something..... ...and leave pixelation alone

teleporter: no need to be so pi<b></b>ssed off... I think it is not a bad idea, but the forum should be detached from pixelation. Like not be a real part but dev.pixellation.swoo.net or somehow. not too distract from main pixelation idea but still it is somehow connected with programming.
RyDeFly: "...and leave pixelation alone " was kinda rude for me...
Anyway, YAHOO!!! (no add) HEY COWABANGA!!!

Isn't that kinda off-topic? Make a new thread instead if you wonder this, and i'm not sure why you would ask about game music here at pixelation...well, anyone could help this guy so we can get rid of him ? Er. I see pixel art as connected to game development as tracking/sequencing would be. Perhaps that is cRaZy-talk. I'm asking at pixelation because this seemed like a community of well-meaning creative digital artists who would have overlapping interests in all aspects of electronic media design. :/ Well, take care dude.

Pixelation has never been a programming forum... I believe there used to be (over a year ago, before I came to Pixelation) a different forum hosted at swoo for programmers... but that was long ago, and I was unfamiliar with it.

Or they could set up their own server. It'll cost a bit to set it up but maintainence is virtually free and it's not like it's hard.

<History Lesson>Yeah, there used to be a programming board on swoo (GDR) - Pixelation actually started as a small board for people to discuss Tsugumo's Pixel Art tutorial, and when it got popular, we moved it over as a subsection of GDR. Eventually, GDR went nuts, became less fun than it used to be, and we closed it down, leaving only Pixelation running.</History Lesson>
We've got a plan about what to do with pixelation. We should (hopefully) have everything up and running tommorow.

We actually had a music section (called "Distortion") for a few months, but it had like 10 people on it, barely posting, and when we eventually snuffed it out no one really noticed/cared, heh.
Never going to happen as far as we know. Running Pixelation is enough for now.

I think you should rename pixelation to 2D GameArt or something, or not necessary rename the site but at least bend the rules somewhat.
Because I'm sick of reading posts telling that something isn't pixeled because the artist hasn't put each pixel individually or hearing artists excusing them self over and over that it isn't really pixeled because they used a paintbrush or whatever...

sorry if i seem mad, which i'm not(well maybe), but there's nothing wrong with game music or programmers. chromal, i didn't mean to offend you or anything, just that what you said was a little bit offtopic, and someone could help you so we could keep on-topic or something like that.(that's why i added the smile)
eerrrhmmm... i don't dislike programmers in any way, i am one. just again the on-topic thing. So, this post is my way of saying sorry. Don't misunderstand me, i'm not angry or something. so, sorry

I just wanted to say something for a long time.
Is it enough for everyone to have their sprite acting like every image just to be seen, or do you miss them walking around, killing some monsters and solving some mazes?
For this you need programming guys!
I did try to have help to write an online javascript based pixel art rpg, but even with money I didn't find anyone to do at least one gif.
So I'm thinking to go rendered 3d, using poser etc... I found much more artist willing to help and a good mood to collaborate with them.
That never was my goal, but what can I do?
That's the right thing that is missing : motivation.
And for this I can't help more.
Me A little bit ennoyed.

Well, I see pixel art as an artform, mostly. An artform that has originated from 2D games. In most cases when people post at Pixelation, it's just single pictures that's not going to be used in a game at all. Programming has it's own forums. And let's not rename it to "2D GameArt". Pixelation is a really good name. "2D GameArt" feels very... Not cozy.

I see no reason for that to happend... To rename the forum to something like 2D GameArt wouldn't stop people from discussing what is, and isn't pixelart... Anyway, it allready exists forums for other kinds of computer art. To me it doesn't matter if someone use an original tecnique to create their artwork as far as they are honest about their work methods.
