Instead, he worked into inserting his Bob & George characters from the hand-drawn comic into the Megaman Universe, which led to some of the biggest differences compared to the original game stories. But again that wasn’t working, he resigned himself to sticking to Megaman sprites. Which was 3 colors per character for their palettes.Īlready he had used some of the experience he took from making the sprite comic, and had improved the style. More detailed being very subjective considering the limits of the original game were mostly kept intact. It moves between the two styles of sprites that were in the game, the smaller overworld sprites and the taller and more detailed battle sprites. The art obviously was simple, based on 8-bit spritework, but also underwent many custom work over the length of the comic, giving it it's own identity. Sometimes entire comics are simply bantering between the characters. Spanning 1225 episodes over the course of over 9 years, the writing is the strong point of the series. And all of them active by their own motives, and most of the time they are not of the purest intentions either, not what you'd think of Warriors of Light. Their names are literally their class for one thing. Some side strips were made which parody other genres, games or movies at times, and sometimes visited by characters not belonging to Final Fantasy (the first) either, such as classes from Final Fantasy III.Ĩ-Bit Theater is an entire retelling of the Final Fantasy story, where the 6 playable classes are portrayed as archetypes, exaggerated and caricatured to the extreme. But due to the high popularity of Final Fantasy, it ended up being the only game ever used, although not exclusively either. The original plan was to visit several games, like Metroid and River City Ransom. Unlike Bob & George, 8-Bit Theater was no accident. Note beginner's mistake, the trees have white spots forgotten where it should be transparent and showing the sky. Much to our sadness as viewers, because no other webcomic ever came close to this style. Deviated maybe a few times for guest weeks or otherwise, but the story ended and he never looked back on it. The author had a plan, and stuck to it from beginning to end. It had a very short run compared to Bob & George and 8-Bit Theater, a mere 2 and a half year. Sometimes simple loops, sometimes much more complex. You would move between panels by pressing the 'next' button, and most of the panels were animated.

Rather than relying on a panel system, it used a rudimentary HTML code combined with layered GIF pictures to make something that would be similar in essence to what can be done with Flash animations. It was all very influenced by NES games though, you can see similarities in characters styles and looks, or in the games they visit throughout the story.īut more than that, Kidd Radd also had a very distinct and unique presentation. This one is probably not as popular because it didn't use any copyrighted materials. Read up on previous week's PWP if you missed it. Since it's a small archive, let's link each of them and take them separately. He did it so effortlessly that it deserves a medal. It's quite a feat, if someone had tried to do it on purpose they probably would have trouble. In 5 strips he managed to hit just about ALL of the Rules. It only lasted 5 strips, but the sheer amount of bad here made me want to see how far one can go down the rabbit hole. Today, I'll talk about Megaman Interference. And sometimes it'll keep going because the author still thinks that at least one person out there must find it funny. Sometimes the author will realize it on his own, sometimes others will give it subtle or less-subtle messages that will bring it down. And then you'll find the bad and the ugly, which are often FAR more numerous than the good ones, but fortunately and thankfully also don't last too long because. NOW we are getting in the interesting part of The Pixelated Window of the Past : The crap.Īs I said previously, when someone does something good, others follow trying to do the same thing.
