Gun Saves?

    I'm starting out in this game and I was wondering how everyone felt about saves pertaining to firearms (guns). Are they frowned upon compared to other types of saves? Lynxrufus was telling me that they usually get a few votes but not to many. I was wondering why. ( and to keep the forums discussion lively). JK :)

    I think they're repetitive, boring and most of the time don't have any function, how they garner so many votes I don't know. I remove them from the front page to allow space for more interesting saves.

    What types of saves would you deem better suit for front page? Would you have any personal ideas for what you would make if you could put something front page? I know the Mods and guys like you will sometimes occasionally put something you made frontpage but it's more of a what if question, than anything. I'm interested in how many undiscovered uses some elements have, like ISOZ and Antimatter. I guess that's what I like best about TPT, seeing things people miss out on and try to redesign it better. For only playing a while I see a lot of potential in such forgotten elements :)

    I'm guessing electronics.There are allot of things you can do with them.for exaple the the heat graph on frontpage,Electronic fish game,space invaders extreme and smallest 4 digit timer.

    It takes a bit of time to learn electronics but once you know most of it,it becomes pretty simple.Easy to learn,hard to master as they say.

    If you are planning on going the electronic route then i suggest starting with a simple counter.

    Most important button for studying someone else s electronic creation is the button F,keep tapping it to watch frames once by one.

    Yeah, but electronics get boring too. We get a slightly different timer nearly every week, so it gets boring fast. :I

    The only things that don't get many front pages around here, are engines. Bad news for me, 'cause I only make engines... They're the only things I'm good at making.

    You might want to start making 3d engines then,you can't imagine how many engines make the feature Gallery in Blender3D.They are extremely complex and rare  but they are always guaranteed to be awesome.

    All it takes is a few meshes equal to the number of parts in a engine and allot of rigging to make every part move the way it should so they correspond with the other parts,add a few textures to make it look nice and you have a winning combination.

    Thanks guys I might start working some more on different electronic devices. They sound like a good way to go.

    It really doesn't matter if it's electronic or not, it should just be original. You should use elements cleverly, to try to do something that's never been done before. Just be creative, you'll probably find something good to make.

    kk i just finished building my MP7, but i might leave the gun saves alone for a while. i think they work best for just trying to get better at pixel art and whatnot. the coloring and shading on it make me sick, but im working on it.
