Looking For Monsters

Yo-
I've been working on an online ASCII-graphical role playing game.
It's a big project, but coming along nicely. I'm looking for small
(8x8 or smaller is idea) ASCII monsters, chests, gravestones, etc, for
the illustrations. So far I've made some lame ASCII art myself, but
if anyone has any contributions they would like to add, that would
rock!
It's not a profit-making game, so I can only give my gratitude, and
credits, natch.
Thanks,
Diane

This has some similarities to a RogueLike idea of mine involving ASCII art, to which this group contributed heaps, go look at the following URL for a relevant ASCII art collection; http://codemonkey.sunsite.dk/projects/beyond/News.htm http://codemonkey.sunsite.dk/projects/beyond/newstuff2.html http://codemonkey.sunsite.dk/projects/beyond/ASCII%20dudes.txt You should also head over to the newsgroup for RL developers; news://rec.games.roguelike.development -- ABCGi - Atomic ______________________ <===> Bacterial Genetic |---------------------|| Chemical Infantrymen <=========== http://abcgi.fly.to =-+-=> |---------------------|'

Dude, these rock! The giant with the big sword is especially dope, as is the falling down guy. Not sure how to work the falling down guy in to a RPG, but it's way cool. It's very cool how much you can get across in just a few characters.

The area available for the player and loot and suchlike is about 50 characters by 22 characters, so I could include a pretty large ascii art, but it seems to work better with many smaller ones. Here is the output from the game, one of the rooms: Monster X, in Park , it's Hour 14 / Tick 32 In this room: * Ross God * Monster X * Oak Tree * Iron Shield Take * Leather Armor Take Actions: Inventory Town Square +----------------------+ +-----------------------+ | | | .-. | | 0 _(o o)_ | | \/|\ / (=) \ | | / \ / /| |\ \ | | " / _ \ " | | /_/ \_\ | | | + + E S a t * * ___ /\__/\ s o * * \| * * / _ \ / \ t r + *_\ \ | |/_* | |_| | \/| |\/ + e | \\||// \___/ |__| | P | | | | a | | O| | r | | k | | | | | | | | | | +----------------------+ +-----------------------+ Cemetary So, the smaller the better. The chests you sent are quite good, an nice rounded improvement on my boxy one. Thanks for the help! Diane. P.S. Someone else wrote in about RougeLike game development (is that a game with makeup?) but after looking it over, the rouge model seems not well suited for an HTML based game.

Yep, you are precise. The rooms can be smaller, too, if we want.
The size is stored in the DB, and read before we draw the room.

I think it was the "Vacant Lot" or suchlike. It's at the top of the
HTML page, I neglected to cut and paste it into the post.
Hey, you seem interested in this project! That rocks. Would you like
to be one of our testers once it gets a bit more shipshape? I can
make you a log in and send you a link once we get it quais-functional.
XGiving is the target alpha testign date....
Thanks!

What I am interested in is avoiding the type of situation where somebody posts a request for something, then several people spend lots of time and effort making very nice pictures only to then be told that they're the wrong size.
