Mr.Popper Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (NOTE: This is posted on behalf of Botanist, who forgor their login) The 'dixel' is a single pixel in the unmentionable region of all male sprites. As a result, all clothing objects must cover it. I, Botanist, believe that this throws the proportions off. Which looks better: the left (dixel'd) or the right (castrated)? Must we forever be in thrall to such ancient sprites? Can anything be done? What do you think? Best wishes, Botanist 4 Quote
TonesofBones Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I've never noticed that. Truly, this is a very SS13 problem. But yeah, down with the dixel, second one looks better (unless it's an elaborate prank/psyop) Quote
Mukosuand Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Gentlemen, this is aurora manifest. See that chap over there... Get your hand off my dixel! This is the bloke who got me on the dixel, people. Why did you do this to me? For what reason? What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Konyanger meal? 7 1 Quote
Roostercat Posted January 23 Posted January 23 all this thread confirms to me is that the average aurora gamer spends their time staring at the crotch region of pixel spacemen 4 Quote

rrrrrr Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I finally have access to my forum account, so I can post! For the record, this is a serious post. This is a serious suggestion. What do you all think? Which one looks better? 1 Quote
NothingNew Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Would this require every clothing item to be adjusted as necessary to fit this change? Likewise, pre-existing guides or spriting templates would need to be updated and in the event that content is imported from other servers or new contributors from other servers would like to contribute through spriting, this change in appearance may need to be made clear. Legs on male character may also look slightly longer as a result. I can't really say I've ever noticed this difference between the two sprites and as goofy as it is, would it be worth the effort to implement the change? Quote

Im pretty sure them calling it the "dixel" is a joke and they want to remove it for all people Quote
Dreamix Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Very much unrealistic to go through all the sprites to remove that one pixel If someone wants to make a super giga huge PR that changes 99999999 clothing sprites then... I'd personally be fine with that I guess? Quote
