Can anyone help me make tiles of this:
- Mane 6, Celestia and Luna.
- Backgrounds.
- Floor tiles, clouds, anything else that comes to mind.
- Random background ponies.
- Nightmare Moon.
- Elements of Harmony.

While people are making the tiles, I will be making the mappack.

I could probably do some of this. Could you be a little more specific with the backgrounds and floor tiles?

no Gilda, Trixie, Discord, and above all, no Queen Chrysalis?

also, why not use some of the already made pixel ponies around the web?

@TheSeek It's a mappack from the first 2 episodes, and because I can't find them.

@Sentinel How it looks in first 2 episodes.

I think I need tiles for everything that appears in the first 2 ep.

Why couldn't you just put it in that same post instead of waiting for someone to say 'Where?', then you say where is it in another post? Also, where?






D'OH!

Do you want it to look like this?

MLP is like cel shaded or cartoon-ish, so I tried to capture that style. I also can edit those Pony sprites and make it look like the MLP show, which doesnt have black border lines and w/ softer colors.

Only if you BEG, foolish mortal. Nah, I'm just kidding. Anyway, there's this thing called Desktop Ponies, which is a program that basically makes a bunch of little 8-bit ponies walk around on your screen. It has pretty much every pony imaginable, and the image files are all there for use. So you can either download it and get the ponies yourself, or I can just send them to you.

@LF

Can you upload an example of your World 1-1 level? I'd like to see how you would design a level, and It doesnt matter if you use the default tileset. I'll focus on backgrounds and other floor tiles.

I'm going to make it so mario will walk on top, and in the bottom, I will put the part were the narrator talks.

Also, how can you make mario move by it's own? Example: 1-2 start

You know they have to be broken up into 16 x 16 tiles, right? They can't be animated, either.

I know they can't be. When I put those gifs in Paint.NET, they become PNG. And the 16 x 16 tiles thing is my problem.

Its hard to scale them down to Mario's size. This is what I've got:

Its going to look like crap if we use 16x16, so we have to use Super Mario for our size.

Ok...... I changed my mind about making episodes 1 and 2. I'm going to make instead a adventure where you have to save princess celestia from nightmare moon.

Ok, I'm going to explain almost everything that's going to happen: In the end of each castle, there is going to be one of the mane 6 and luna captured with toad, and this is where the tough part will come. I have to either make bowser look like Nightmare Moon, which will turn out as a epic fail, or somehow make it so instead of bowser, it's Nightmare Moon attacking with black fire. And I also need to find random enemies to put in each castle. Also, when I get my own laptop/computer, I'm going to the hat industry, because I like working with sprites.

That's ok. Now that I'm not as lazy as I was before, maybe I'll make some sprites. Also, this is more than 4 or 5 weeks old already. I didn't even think people wanted to help me on this.

Welcome to the forums, friend. /)
(Fewthingstonote: certain words are censored, like the one that starts with a "b", and a lot of us here try to keep the pwnyness on a low level, because not everyone here enjoys the show. Just a heads up ;3)

Another thing, I'm assuming LF has moved on from this. If I'm wrong he can step in anytime and slap the shit out of me because I'm in no place to speak for anyone
It may have seemed like a great idea in the beginning, but I get the feeling it was mainly an impulse reaction to everything that is pwny. If you'd like to continue the project, I'd have no problem with it.
