Trying to stay warm in a cruel and unforgiving winter? Come on down to Apri City Beach to catch some rays! All of these fine folks have had the same bright idea!
The Summertime in Wintertime Collab is finally live (even though it only closed 3 days ago). I ran this collab in the hopes of making everyone feel better about the cold weather. Featuring 95 entries from 84 collaborators, including yours truly, I'm really pleased with the turnout. Check out the original thread (including endless requests from me for links) here!
Stay tuned for the Wimmelbilder!
Some cool pics. Quite a few were so unexpected and that's what I like from a collab. You all rock, have a great day.
Finally it worked. no idea why ruffle been giving me errors. oh well.
nice work everyone.

Sorry about ruffles errors. Thanks for the message Zake
Cute little art collab! For the most part it's nice, but I have to admit that, presentation-wise, it is a bit lackluster, going the ol' slideshow route, aka the bare minimum. I'm not saying you need to have an incredibly unique presentation or it's a no-go: in fact, I wouldn't have minded it that much if the art was consistently posed in such a way that they appear to be on the beach as many of them do, but there are a lot of pieces that are look like they're floating away and it would've helped so much for consistency if they were placed better. Ideally, I'd love it if all of the pieces could be combined in a big collage where they all look like they're at a beach party together, kinda like something you'd see in a Where's Waldo book, haha! A more interesting presentation would get more interested viewers which would mean more follows and commissions for artists!
Moving on from that, it'd also be nice if there were some other certain features for a better gallery. For example, it'd be great if there were links to the artist's profile within the game that would allow for easy access to view an artist's work or follow them if they catch your eye. It'd also be great if there were features like a gallery/thumbnail view, or perhaps a search: with a lot of entries, it's nice to have ways to get around beyond mashing the arrow keys over and over.

Thanks for the review! To respond to some of your points:
- Yeah a lot of the characters look like they're floating. I wasn't focusing on making them look like they're actually on the beach as it was simply meant to be a backdrop, but I'll bear that in mind.
- I do actually have a Wimmelbilder (Where's Wally? kinda deal) piece planned for this collab... once I get my mojo working, that is...
- By my own admission it is pretty basic in terms of features and functionality. I guess I just need to have a little more patience with ActionScript. For now I'm amazed I was even able to program the navigation and preloader.
- I like the idea of having a thumbnail gallery for larger collabs, and to link each piece to their respective artist. If I host another collab I'll implement them.
Thanks again for reviewing.

Those sound like great ideas!
I also thought originally that we would have a slideshow of everyone’s characters with a background we drew and then they’d be in a massive collage together but not everyone submitted a BG version so IDK. I guess that fell through.
Yeah, some of them also look like they’re floating. 😂
