Request for help #1

We want to make a newbie pixel board. Any ideas for a theme, a palette?

About the theme we were thinking that a city or building is easy and fun enough for newbies and they won't run out of ideas.

About palette, we were thinking about arne's palette, but maybe more colors would be better for newbies?

We were thinking to make the tile size 50x50 so they're not so intimidating like the 100x100 ones, and yet not so small so things can be made inside.

Any ideas and suggestions are welcome

Hey ho!

We've just made the pixel editor available as a separate thing so you can just play with it.

http://tzigla.com/editor

For now it only has arne's palette for you to play with.

Have fun and please let us know if you do something cool with it

Toodles!

Oh, and there's also a newbie pixel art board now, moderated by the great Argyle

Check it out here: http://tzigla.com/boards/8

The greatness is leaking all over the place, oh god!

'lo

We've just deployed LAYERS with 10 minutes before we go on vacation for 3 months

Fortunately, only on staging for now. We'd really really really love some feedback on the layers so we have a chance of putting it on live in the next days before we sell our laptops

http://staging.tzigla.com

Check it out: undo/redo across layers should work, transparent color should work, drawing, filling, saving, loading, refreshing without closing the editor, submitting a tile, etc. All should work.

Pretty pretty please let us know of any bugs. We want to deploy this on live but don't want to break the site for three months

Huggies, have fun, and we hope we didn't put a silly bug in just before leaving.

weeeee

Can't believe the pixel editor. Really cool work, ya'll.

One huge problem though, it's so laggy I simply can't stand to use it. Even dragging the mouse around the canvas occurs at like 4 frames per second. . .

ptoing · « **Reply #155 on:** March 01, 2011, 05:40:56 am »

Not laggy at all here

What kinda connection are you on?

A pretty good cable connection. No conn issues elsewhere. Good system in general - Windows 7, AMD athlon dual 4800+ 2.5ghz, 2.5GB ram, blah blah blah . . .

. . .

hmm ok, tested in FF, IE and Chrome. FF is the laggy one. IE it doesn't even appear. Chrome works great, though.

I'm confused I took a tile and it says I only have an hour to upload. I thought we had three days.

ptoing · « **Reply #158 on:** March 02, 2011, 02:38:19 am »

you took one on the staging board.

That sucks and shouldn´t happen!

We have some ideas where to improve the editor speed overall since we´ve just added those layers really really fast, but it would help if you gave us your exact browser version and exactly what you are doing when it happens. Also, what zoom level does it say on top and, are you zoomed in or not?

And another thing. Is it slow for you also on the live site or just staging?

Thanks

evilchelu · « **Reply #160 on:** March 02, 2011, 10:08:48 pm »

@Mathias: Deployed some speed fixes to staging. Please test and let us know if it's still slow.

evilchelu · « **Reply #161 on:** March 03, 2011, 01:26:50 am »

Hey peeps!

We've deployed the layers to live!

http://tzigla.com

Enjoy, we're off to the jungle in a few days... back in 3 months!

Huggies and them boards better be finished till we get back

Mathias · « **Reply #162 on:** March 03, 2011, 05:56:53 am »

Geeze, you guys know how to vacation!

I'll do a set of cross-browser tests and post my feedback here for ya.

Argyle · « **Reply #163 on:** March 21, 2011, 06:27:02 pm »

We are 6 tiles away from completion and ~~everybody~~ several insubordinates keeps claiming tiles and neglecting to make anything then abandoning it. Anyone that's been waiting to make a tile - now's the time to do it if you want in on the collab and we'll get to see its unveiling.

Don't say everyone, I've never abandoned a single one

I never abandoned one either! And I was only responsible for one of the curses.

Argyle · « **Reply #166 on:** March 22, 2011, 03:18:28 pm »

You guys are right, and you guys are also awesome, so I'm sorry - I reworded that bit.

And it's okay, bigbrother, because one of my tiles is part of the sandwich that made that same curse - I figured your tile would have done nothing but provide an easy way around making mine actually!

StaticSails · « **Reply #167 on:** March 24, 2011, 09:53:36 pm »

I kept trying at same damn tile. I couldn't make it work. Don't plan on trying again either, only because I'm too busy with "life".

That's all I had.
(Dear Mods or whomever, if you think I shouldn't post that then just nix it or ask me to remove it.)

setz · « **Reply #168 on:** March 29, 2011, 02:46:26 am »

Well, I've officially done all that I could do.

4 left, up to you guys now

Geti · « **Reply #169 on:** April 06, 2011, 10:57:38 am »

Done. I'm hoping the text is okay, if not I'll change it but as I said on the site, I figured it'd be nice to have a label, and didn't want to resort to texturing randomly to fill the space; the piece already has a focus.

Geti · « **Reply #170 on:** April 10, 2011, 08:53:13 am »

ptoing where'd you go? :< only 1 approval away from completion!!

Geti · « **Reply #171 on:** April 11, 2011, 04:33:39 am »

Huzzah! Complete! I'm pleased with how this turned out, watching the reveal on tzigla was well worth it.

Beautiful.
I feel pretty good about my pig, the squid is clearly subpar though. Glad to see someone took care of that dinosaur butt tile.

A lot of great gems in there!

setz · « **Reply #173 on:** April 11, 2011, 10:57:32 pm »

Turned out pretty nice guys

Glad to finally see it finished!

Grinner · « **Reply #174 on:** April 14, 2011, 12:11:02 pm »

Noticed something with the Tzigla homepage, not exactly a problem - I'm just nitpicking

There appears to be some kind of overlay on the featured board displayed at the homepage, as darker tiles have oddly coloured grains. Not a big issue by any means, but It detracts slightly from the pixel-arty-ness.

evilchelu · « **Reply #175 on:** April 15, 2011, 04:57:08 pm »

Grinner: Yeah. That´s because the image is scaled down and is a jpeg. It´s not supposed to be color accurate and it can´t really be.

evilchelu · « **Reply #176 on:** May 04, 2011, 03:23:56 pm »

Hey peeps! So glad the C64 got awesomely finished!

Just popped in from vacation to let you guys know about a new feature we've just released

REMIXES! http://tzigla.com/remixes

You can now download a zip file with the tiles and some data about them and you can stitch them together in other ways, make animations, stuff, whatever.

We'd love to see what you come up with

Hugs y'all!

robalan · « **Reply #177 on:** December 23, 2011, 03:30:09 pm »

I'm not sure how active Tzigla is these days, but Pixelation authentication appears to be broken. The authentication link just takes me to the Pixelation front page.

evilchelu · « **Reply #178 on:** December 30, 2011, 01:46:12 pm »

A few boards have been finished and some new ones appeared. We don't get much traffic but everything still works and new users are signing up and tiles are being made.

We didn't have much time to work on tzigla the past year and the pixelation forum got moved/updated a while ago the tzigla integration broke in the process. Sorry. There weren't any complaints it was not working anymore so I thought people here just don't use it. However, if you guys want to make another board, I'll look into fixing it.

In the meantime, if you have tzigla account that you made from pixelation, and you want to be able to access it (to make more tiles under the same account, comment, etc), here's what you need to do to:

1. Make a new tzigla account using facebook/twitter/google. If you hate all of those, the simplest way is to make a twitter account and only use it for tzigla.
2. Go to your pixelation profile and add the user id of the new account somewhere. That's the only way I can confirm you own both accounts I will be merging.
3. While logged in the new tzigla account, use the feedback button on tzigla to request a merging into the previous account. Make sure to include a link to your pixelation profile.

After I merge them I'll send you an email to let you know. You'll then be able to sign in with your new account and have your original user id, username and tiles attached to it.

Happy new year everyone!

robalan · « **Reply #179 on:** January 04, 2012, 12:08:46 am »

Shiny. I was new to Tzigla so I just made an account using my Google login. The merging should be useful for other Tzigla users, though!

Quise · « **Reply #180 on:** January 04, 2012, 12:00:44 pm »

I;m not sure if im do it right. I make account on Tzigla by my google account, and add profile id from Tzigla on my signature, and this is all what i needed to do?

Sorry, I didn't write the instructions clearly enough.

You only need to do that if you already had a tzigla account made with pixelation.

If you didn't already have a tzigla account made with pixelation, you don't have to do anything extra, just sign up as normal with facebook/twitter/google and get pixeling.

Quise · « **Reply #182 on:** January 04, 2012, 07:35:11 pm »

Ok but can i now connect this account made from google with pixelation?

Nope, sorry. Because the integration is broken that can't be done anymore.

However, in your profile there is a field where you can enter a link to your pixelation profile if you want.
