so is that about art or does it include pieces of geometry

because most of my maps are actually well covered-up frankensteins of other maps

or assets in general from stock maps or ones which were released with the intent of being reused by others (like agh's and some of taters's stuffs)

Not copying is about art.
I don't think anyone can spot 'borrowed' geometry, especially if the art is completely changed.

It's always been public voting, and I don't really think it'll be any different this year.
Maybe I'll make it a poll instead of sending me pms, but we'll see about that.

That really should have been in the FAQ, I assumed it was judged by you personally.

Oh well, if you really think so.

That sounded a bit demanding, sorry :/

I don't blame you though. With FAQ writing which isn't based on actually frequently-asked questions, you as the author will often forget very basic things because they're obvious to you, but you don't realise they might not be to others.

So how long till the event end?

Please read the rules carefully next time, but I'll say again.
The entries close on August 20th, but if people need some extra time, I might give an extra week.

Did anyone ever get the 2012 winner and 2012 runner up titles they won?

Actually, no.
Hopefully I'll distribute those along with 2013 ones.

is it alright to use a sprite from the game and build off of that? im not exactly good at starting art 

[Haxton Sale]

Q: Can I use stuff from Gang Garrison, like sprites or music?
A: As long as main idea is yours, yes. Making a video using them is fine, but throwing them together and saying it's your pixel art - not so much.

We're going to have trouble in the tutorials section comparing different topics.

FAQ updated:

Q: Is tracing allowed when creating pixel art?
A: As much as I don't support it, it is allowed within reason. Don't resize image, fix some colours and claim it's gg2 - make the characters look like the gg2 ones. Try to capture the characteristics that differ our characters from a certain other group of mercenaries.
