The WarioWare page on the Spriters' Resource............ you could make full games for all your favorite microgames with the original art. Dude

Chat... I've had so many false starts and failures to launch with collaborative art in the past, but I need y'all to be honest with me. Like really honest, brutally honest if necessary:

@strawberryamanita saw that mashup post and remembered i have these stems sitting around

Mashup Ideas

Below is a list of mashup ideas that I've accumulated over time that I just can't figure out how to attack personally. It's a mix of songs that sound similar enough to me; a lot of them were collected from listening to what my parents play on the radio, so expect mostly 2nd generation rock with a few left-fielders thrown in.

If anyone figures out how to mash these songs up, please lemme know with a tag! I would love to hear and share what you make!

Audio idea(? I guess that's what you'd call it)

All those Vinesauce clips from "The Choicer Voicer" mimicking computer/game noises need to actually be modded into those systems. They're just too funny to leave unused

[codihastoomanyideas]

Papercraft Idea

I have a ways to go to understand 3D papercrafts, and I don't eat Burger King as it is, but something about the chicken fries box looks like it has a lot of potential to be a pretty cute 3D paper chicken. Might just be me, though, idk

[codihastoomanyideas]

Game idea

Dating sim that's entirely made up of merpeople

Thing I would make Right Now if I had the patience to learn how to sew #947382755738374:

Use the Babysitting Mama Wii controller cover doll as a pattern to make my own controller covers

[codihastoomanyideas]

Animation idea

One of those MGS dispatch conversations but animated like a Zelda CD-i cutscene

[codihastoomanyideas]

Movie Idea

Enough haunted stories about evil kids' toys. We need a horror(/comedy, potentially) movie inspired by THIS place

[codihastoomanyideas]

Animation idea

I think that we, as an Internet community who loves nostalgic properties but hates being bombarded by every shitty remake Hollywood has brought back from the Pet Cemetery -- INCLUDING "Pet Sematary" -- are overdue for a Renaissance of Beast Fables.

Like, reimagining stories is part of storytelling culture, whether it's unintentional (word of mouth misses some details) or absolutely intentional (completely involved AUs with whole new rule sets and worldbuilding and such). Reimaginings can be a lot of fun, and give a lot more breathing room to people who actually wanna be creative instead of carrying out the same old-same old that executives are So Convinced are what the masses want.

My proposal? Pull a Lion King on 'em.

The Lion King wasn't a 1:1 adaptation of Hamlet for obvious kid-friendly reasons (would've been a bit of a downer for everyone to end up like their Shakespearean counterparts), but at its root, at its conception, it's a twist on Hamlet. And that's completely okay that the final product doesn't exactly match the initial inspiration, because it shows that the production team was allowed to think and use their imaginations during the creative process.

Didn't anyone else grow up with those reimagined/fractured fairytales in elementary school? We had a book where Cinderella was a sasquatch, it was fucking awesome

All the beloved stories, both new and old, can get the Lion King treatment. They don't even have to be animals every time, they can be robots or aliens or any direction one's muse pulls them in.

And for the love of corn, some of them can be animated outside of 3D CGI. It can be 2D, it can be stop-motion or claymation, it can be fucking puppets(or even Muppets!). Please.

Please.

There is so much more to this world than making the next Frozen. Shake yourself free of the tractor beam of What Will Make The Most Money, go forth and write the stories you want to see in the world -- even if you retooled an older story to fit a world of furries, it'd be doing a LOT more than anyone distributing huge-budget franchises would dare to do right now.

If I have to see one more Elsa clone on my phone app game ad du jour, I might just scream

Animation/Animatic idea

I continue to be shocked that nobody's done anything with Evil SpongeBob yet. It is beyond hilarious, the potential for funny animation to compliment Joy's hilarity is enormous

[codihastoomanyideas]

Game mod idea

Yoshi's head resprited over Doom Guy's weapons

(Yoshi's head sprites are in fact on [spriters-resource]!)

[codihastoomanyideas]

Custom Doll/Miniature idea

Take one of those Shopkins that they made for real-life brands and turn it into a Shopkin for a Wacky Packages product

[codihastoomanyideas]

Animation idea

The intro to this absolutely cracked lost media show reminds me of a perversion of the Barney and Friends theme for some reason. I think it might have potential to be an animation... I'm not sure why I think that, though.

Animation/Animatic idea

I don't care how non-subversive it may be -- I think [Joel]'s voice is fabulous for The Dealer

[codihastoomanyideas]

Animation/Animatic idea

By mixing audio clips from these three videos together***, one could potentially synthesize a script where [Vinny], [Joel], and Jerma play the most harrowing game of Go Fish of their mortal lives.

***I have more than a handful of animation/animatic ideas like this, and I wanna give credit where credit is due: this, and all future ideas like this, are heavily inspired by these two animations:

Sorry for all the giant links, I wish tumblr would let me embed links into my text the way it used to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
