Hey there, my name is Squiffel. I doubt any of you know me.

Anyways im recently getting tired of making maps, I mainly make CTF's now. I dont have time to create elaborate ones, never had. But I am also getting tired of not making anything detailed.

So here is what im proposing. Im going to make high quality sprites, objects, vechicles barrels and stuff like that. Also textures, allsorts of neat stuff each day, and realising them daily on a webpage Ill set up specifically for them.

Then instead of me making the maps, Ill give them out to the community to build there own maps. I know that some people are dying to make nice maps but dont have the artistic ability to make it look good. So some really exciting level designers are lost.

So community, what says you?

Hey squiffel! :D Sounds like you might be interested in Plutonic's "MapGen" program that randomly generates maps for certain schemes from collections of graphics.

You might actually want to work together with Plutonic and give him graphics to use for his program!

I've always wanted someone to make a compilation of little objects for map editing, specially for WFW.

But i do understand people take time to rip or whatever those things and might not feel comfortable with sharing it with everyone else.

And the second paragrap isn't sarcastic.

Box Sprites

Example:

http://www.qytis.com/crateexample2.gif

You can always rotate them :P simple crate to start, nice and versitile. If you have a request you have to give me a real reference photo of the object, tile, texture, vechicle whatever it is, needs a real reference photo.

All the sprite I release will be free to use for worms Armageddon Maps, and Worms World Party Maps. If its for a map, you do not have to give me credit. For everything else, you have to ask permission Lyndon@Qytis.com

That is some really neat stuff! We could make the inside of a warehouse type arena if we could combine these with Etho's Cutworm when it arrives, due to the custom backrounds thing.

Well the next toy to come is going to be one of those cute little crate lifting cars, with the customability to choose where the pegs are, how high etc :P Figured I might aswell add a toy to move those crates around with.
