Fan Submissions!
Posted by The DaveAs you may or may not have noticed, there are two new pages in the Navigation section on the right-bar. Submit and Fan Art. To make a long story short, you can submit fan-things you make now!
Please read the guidelines before submitting something, and also remember that fan art updates will be periodic and not instantaneous. We have to review each piece you all submit, quality control you know?
For your convenience, here are the guidelines.
Submission Guidelines: (Please read before submitting!)
- Accepted file types: .png, .jpeg, .gif, .mid, .mp3, .swf, .txt
- File size limit: 3 megabytes, 6 for mp3 and swf files.
- Maximum image dimensions: 1024 x 768 pixels
- Please keep submissions family friendly! No nudity, profanity or other potentially offensive material.
- Administrators may remove, or not post your submission if it does not adhere to these guidelines.
Unacceptable Submissions Include: (But are not limited to:)
- Images or animations that lack apparent effort. (Images drawn in MS Paint in a few minutes will most likely be rejected.)
- Audio that lacks decent sound quality. (Audio captured with a cell phone, for example, will probably not be acceptable quality.)
- Text with frequent grammatical or spelling errors is unacceptable. (Text must also be in English, as this website is in English.)
We hope to see what all you can come up with! So, get to it!
The next revamp I'm putting on youtube deservers a commentary. This one is driving me nuts...The original composer is deceitful. Should I?

No .swf’s?
July 29th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Hmm, we should really allow .swf
Good point Gunstar
July 29th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Flash animations are now accepted.
Happy animating!

My submission’s file size is too big. Sorry, I’ll make a smaller one next time.
July 29th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Quite alright. We’re still working the kinks out of the guidelines, so if anyone has any complaints about limitations or whatnot, please let us know here.
Also let us know if you encounter any problems or errors with the submission system.
July 29th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
I have a complaint. I don’t know how to approve, and we don’t have a location to display once they’ve ben approved.
That or I’m dense.
July 29th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I’m writing a how-to, don’t worry. But, did you see the Fan Art page? that’s where they’ll go. If we get submissions that aren’t pictures, they’ll get their own pages.
And now you know.

And knowing is–*Shot*

With Submittions you guys mean like new content that could be put into the game? or artwork of the characters, places, etc
August 1st, 2009 at 1:58 pm
We mean any artwork or music or animations you guys might come up with about the game. Fan art and the like.
August 1st, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Nice! Im looking forward to the game it looks really good so far.
August 7th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
what about word or txt, i mean… submissions of pieces for the story. Maybe an specification of wich kind of pieces can be added, like the npc dialogs cause in mother 3 there was a lot of good ones, ones that are hardly to think of, or text pieces for mini quests like the one of that insect and his shit balls.
Or another one of text to submit is enemy description, cool ideas for fighting enemies like using DCMC stuff to mesmerize, using sort of combinations of items or just special ones to have an intersting effect.
August 7th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
I don’t see why not. I had been thinking about allowing txt as well. I’ll get it enabled so all you writers out there can have at it. While I’m at it, I’ll update the guidelines to be more specific about what types of fan submissions are acceptable.
August 8th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Now that CalixJumi brought that up, could I submit the same stuff, but in paint? I cannot use any Text program due to a problem my pc has, so could I submit NPC diologue and the like with paint?
August 8th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
We’d really rather you use a text program.
Have you tried just using notepad?
If all else fails, there’s always Google Docs.
August 8th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Wasnt able to save notepad work either… so since it is just text I submitted it in the Mother 4 thread in starmen.net
Sorry
August 8th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Oh. I thought you were having problems with opening text programs, not saving files. Very odd.
August 9th, 2009 at 6:09 am
You know what would be nice? The ability to leave comments for fan submissions. Let the artists know what you think about them.
August 9th, 2009 at 10:40 am
I have to agree with Lasagna.
August 9th, 2009 at 11:20 am
I cannot save text files too… and suggestions in comments/reply would be nice but will make a lot of space. I mean, create a Fan’s Text Submission, so that space can be used to submit ideas
August 9th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
OH.
When you guys say save you mean upload. I thought you meant you just couldn’t save files to your own computer for whatever reason.
The uploader has been fixed to allow text file uploads. It was caused by a mistake on my part.
And as for comments, I suppose I could do it but I can’t give any guarantees.
August 11th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
No, when I meant save I pretty much meant that I wasnt able to save text. files in my pc. My laptop is wierd. Luckilyt my misudertanding helped a little bit to fix the upload prolem xD
August 11th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Anyone see the submission by the guy tojax? Guy’s a bit misinformed, heh.
August 11th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
It’s a nice gesture though.
