Event Design A Chair!

I'm so happy to finally submit my 'project'. The name is 'Ferris Under the Night Sky'.

For a long while I have been slaving away on this chair. The initial idea was conceptualised in around a 2 weeks period, to create a different style of chair from the ones that are already in the Maplestory universe. It took another 30-40 hours to draw everything up, making sure everything is consistent.

This chair may not be the most prettiest chair out there, however almost everything was designed and made from scratch, except most parts of the Blue Mushroom, since I couldn't resist adding the coolest looking make shift roof. There was a slight error when I first started to design this chair, I underestimated the size of the character by using a screenshot in the game.

I used only MS Paint to design and drawup/colour this chair. GIMP was also used for doing few mild rotational movements for some parts and to add a transparent background.

That's a wonderfully inventive design, Afee. It looks great and you've obviously put a lot of work into it, but I think you might run into the problem that the lower half of the chair (anything below the player's feet) will hang below the ground. Let me illustrate my point with the Chinchillin' Chair:

EDIT: Dumb post is dumb. Feel free to delete this.

 

1ms intervals? Holy shit. Don't you mean 100...

 

I've added a rough preview of the chair in game, it would look better in the game, however since the chair is centred, I don't think the look of the char would matter unless the bottom part under the chair could not be seen.

I can't be certain, but merely basing on this preview it seems like you could only get the effective illusion if you stare at the chair.

Edit: I have updated it with the newest preview of the chair

 

Oh I'm dumb...he wants to know the delay for the animations. Derp Derp derp.

 

Han...........That looks great!

 

Failed Party Quest

Chair Name: Failed Party Quest
Description: "'Let me solo', she said, 'I'm pure luk, it's a piece of cake,' she said"


Due to its transparent nature, it looks fairly awful without any background whatsoever; so I've taken the liberty to post a couple of ingame examples.



It's animated (the archer blinks) as per the ill-rendered GIF below. Note that GIFs do not allow for partial transparency, so just envisage the chairs in the above images with the blinking animation showcased below.

Frame 1:

Frame 2:

Frame 3:


There are only 3 frames, so the timing is fairly straightforward:
Frame 1: 3000ms
Frame 2: 20ms
Frame 3: 40ms
Frame 1: 1000ms
Frame 2: 20ms
Frame 3: 40ms
Frame 1: 150ms
Frame 2: 20ms
Frame 3: 40ms
Frame 1: 3500ms
Frame 2: 25ms
Frame 3: 45ms
Frame 1: 500ms
Repeat

P.S. All the frames above should be (replace)d

P.S. Since this chair has only one layer, I do believe that it should function without any issue :/

 

It's going to be so hard to choose winners, so many great entries! <3

 

I can't think of a way to improve my own entry... :c I don't know if I stand a chance against all this. But all these entries... I want them all!

 

It's not a problem to export a png of this boss... I can pm you a HQ version if you'd like

 

I feel like ALL these chairs should be added. They're so good.

Hope you enjoy!

 

I was wondering what the judging criterias are, and how exactly the judging would proceed (Will the community play any role in the process?).

One more question; will the winners be announced right when the event ends on May 4th at midnight (GMT+1)? And will the chairs be implemented ASAP or with the next major .WZ file update (e.g. Zakum fix)?

 

I believe preliminary judging/elimination will be done by the staff, and perhaps some community input will be used to decide the final chairs that will actually be implemented in game. Winners will not be announced immediately as it will take us awhile to judge (don't expect this to be a quick process. You spent lots of work making your chairs, let us spend the time to appreciate all of the entries). New chairs will be implemented with the next major .WZ file update.

 

Alright, thanks for the speedy reply, and best of luck judging the chairs. c:
Can't wait to see the result!

 

Absolutely! It's going to be a really difficult decision to make - there's so many of these entries I'd like to see as chairs ingame!

 

or on sunday

tomorrow i start on my chair!

I would like to formally change my official submission to:

 

Magic Snow Globe

Description: A magical relic once used by the Great Wizard Alcaster to imprison the Ice Witch of El Nath; this dangerous artifact no longer serves
any purpose, apart from being a jolly little knick-knack to don our mantelpieces. Only a miserable halfwit would use it for anything else,
say, perhaps, as a chair.





Note that there's a loss of quality due to it being a GIF. It will look much better in-game.
