Your mentioning using stuff from tlieset packs (which I presume you made) actually made me wonder about something -- I'm definitely not a skilled visual artist myself, but I do have various very well-made asset packs that I've picked up over the years (mainly due to the giant bundles on itch.io), so maybe I could actually try stitching a scene together from them sometime. Could be a fun way to spend an hour or two when bored, and I could do something with these purchases while also being able to show off the work of a variety of pixel artists to friends.

The way Mario seems to teleport when turning around in the water seems to say something about the way hitboxes worked in the original DKC1.
Super Kong World
Thanks for the encouragement to just jump in and do stuff, gaming and otherwise.
I've found myself having a hard time finding dedicated time to play games (i.e. without worrying about something else "over my shoulder") and I've also found myself seemingly unable to "learn" new genres of games despite my wanting to get into them (so I often end up playing genres I'm already familiar with). I suspect these are related, and I also suspect that just jumping in and doing stuff more spontaneously will probably help improve things.
I forgot about Lemmy for months...this has gotten me to show back up!
TL;DR for anyone from Mander:
Small mander logo: in the bottom right quadrant, between the EU flag and Ramona Flowers. Seems like this one was done by @Sal@mander.xyz very early on in the event. Much later, near the end of the event, I just added the text above it.
Big Mander logo: check in the top half, near the center, to the right of the Swedish flag. Was planned out by yours truly (not knowing we already had the small logo), though @mookulator@lemmy.world / @mookulator@mander.xyz came by and helped out actually placing the pixels (thank you!). The outline/background around the text was done by various other users, including @Lumun@lemmy.zip , @verb@mander.xyz , and @angrath@mtgzone.com -- thanks for coming by to help beautify our logo!

Thanks for joining in! The canvas is now finished!
I’m going to be leaving the canvas up and read-only for a couple days, but not too long.
This was incredibly fun to host, thank you all for participating! ♥
Future Events
I’d love to make this a yearly event. Expanding from just Lemmy to the entirety of the fediverse aswell!
I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event
If you have suggestions for future events, post them in a comment on this post, each suggestion as it’s own comment so people can vote on them
Timelapses:
- First 24h
- 24h - 48h
- 48h - 72h
- Start to finish
Data:
- Pixel Placement Logfile (timestamps, usernames, coords, pallete index, no ip addresses) (42mb)
- Pallete Indexes (eg 0 = black, 1 = dark gray, etc)
- Final Canvas PNG
I reproduced our logo in pixel art, added our domain name in text, and I'm gonna start adding this to the Canvas.
The bottom right corner (where I'm starting) is located at 646, 205.
Come join me! And decorate this further if you'd like!

Edit: look like the picture is a little small because it's pixel art. You may want to download it and open it up in MS Paint or something then zoom in a lot.
Edit2: I found a mistake in my template: there's one extra gray pixel on the right side, diagonally up/left from the uppermost black pixel of the...uh...chelicera I guess.
Edit3: There are actually three extra gray pixels, the other two are to the right and above the one I just mentioned.
Oh hey, is this a new community on Mander?
Anyway, I've wondered for years what makes plant photosynthesis so much more energy-efficient than our current solar PV technology. I can barely wrap my head around the standard reactions of photosynthesis, though not quite the nanomaterials part, but this is still really fascinating. Thanks for posting it!
