Topic awaiting preservation: Pixel art help...

Ok, I am making a Monopoly board:



My problem is the Chance and Community Chest card placements in the middle, they look screwy to me... Can anyone think of something I can do to make them look more perspective, or did I bump into a pixel art limitation? To me they look like they are standing up...



And if you don't care, then you can get a giggle from this- What you talkin' bout Willis??

Wow, that's a service reiso

It certainly is.

And judging from that picture, Ensellitis, the only thing you need to do to make the boxes more natural-looking is to make them shorter. Since you're looking at the board straight-on, the lines are still going to be straight, they will just be a little shorter (for the same reason, of course, that words painted on the road are really tall).

The board looks nifty, by the way. Are you making a monopoly game?

I had an idea to make a full game that is online, and multiplayered, I will decide once I make all the little pieces =) Thanks reisio, you rock =)

Keep us posted. I sure do love me some Monopoly.

Coming along, I am going to wait to figure out the card places later... But I detailed it more, and did the houses/hotels


Another question, since this is going to be a "special edition", what edition should I make it?

Make it an "Ozone Asylum Special Edition"

If your talkin an "official" special edition, go with Star Wars...

I'll second the OA special edition.

But I think Star Wars has been done to death. If you want to go with something outside of the Asylum, make it unique, like, um... the U.S. National Parks Edition (I have no idea if there is actually a U.S. National Parks Edition... just went with the first thing that came to mind).

I third it.

Currency: Black pills

The four sides can be the four wings of the Asylum (pos. E, S, W and N?).

The stations can be nurses stations.

I'm sure we can come up with something interesting for the utilities (I'll bagsy one for the north wing swimming pool).

And of course:

"Zzzzzat: You have an appointment with Master Suho go straight to Shock Therapy do not pass the Reception do not collect 50 blakc pills"

if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

I'm liking it. =)

I'll also need some pieces, so I need some ideas for that...

Um... Let's see...

New names for Chance/Community Chest, and some basic card ideas...

Some names for properties... I'll redo some of the colors to match the OA theme.

Is there anyone here able/willing to take the image when done and make a multi-player online game out of this?

Chance = SooL
Community Chest = too many jokes but I suspect I'd get hit.
In Jail = Shock Therapy (with "just loating").

A couple of examples of the board:

http://www.shef.ac.uk/~tsc/Monopoly.JPG
http://www.allguinness.com/blogarchives/mon.jpg

We should probbaly actually go W, N, E and then S as the most desirable properties will be in the south.

We can then make most of the properties people's cells or offices.

South:

So The last blue would obviously be the Doc's office.

The other one TP's?

That'd mean the nurse's station on that side would be Shi's

Slime in one of the green squares obviously.

North

The Electric compnay can be the swimming pool.

The more deranged of our inmates can go in there too

East

My cell is in the east wing (even if I commute to the North Wing for my evil deeds) so I'd like to bag one of the yellow properties for my Throne Room.

West

Any takers?

--------------------
Thoughts? suggestions?

Idas for the cards?

vogonpoet has to mop out your cell go back three spaces.
Was that a naked Spaniard? Lose a go while you sit wondeirng if it is all in your head.

hey, thats looking great already
but maybe you should make the blue border orange? just a piece of mind...

as much as moving the cards is cheating well done

Excellent. I think it would be great to have the shock therapy lab replace the jail.

Not sure about having "Asylum" instead of hotel, though... isn't the entire board supposed to represent the Asylum? And if the individual squares represent cells, how can you build cells into them? Sorry, it's the English major in me acting up again.

Rather than cells and Asylum, how about something like cots for houses and maybe bunk beds for the hotel? That would seem like a more accurate metaphor...

Just a suggestion.

Oh yeah... make the pills different colors to match the color of the original Monopoly bills. After all, you can't have only one denomination.

I was thinking the same kind of thing when I was doing them, but I wanted an example of what I had done. =) The cots/beds are a good idea. I will make all the updates tommorow, or maybe my next day off (I hate work =\)

Great idea. =) Blue does kinda throw the whole thing off, huh?

I think each group of Cells should be called Halls.
Each NSEW wing would be divided into 2 Halls, then subdivided down to Cells.

Maybe Chance called Lost and Found.

edit:
Wow. Been awhile since I've played. I don't think the properties are divided as I've suggested.

Trying to find a Monopoly game out there with a resource editor.
So far all I've found is this:
