• Looking for some specific "mech" sprites
    0 replies, posted
Alright so this is something that has been bugging me for YEARS. A number of years ago there was an interactive IRC client called "The Hotel". It was essentially a bunch of images of scenery varying from hotel rooms to hallways in hotels to outside areas, and certain parts of the images were clickable and took you to the next area. Most of the selectable avatars were these greenish-yellow smileys but you also had the ability to piece together a multi-image avatar. I forget the dimensions of each image piece but I believe you could piece together a 2x3 or 2x2 thing. With this, I started seeing a lot of these "mech" sprites. The sprites were a side-view of a mech, which for the most part always featured a Sonic the Hedgehog/Mecha Sonic-styled spiky helmet. They also had weapons which were mostly scythes (sometimes double-sided with the blades making an S or Z shape). There were even customization sheets so you could piece together things such as different helmet styles with different visor colors, different weapons, etc. I forget exactly what year this was though it has to be early 2000's. I can no longer locate any information on "The Hotel" and because of this I am beginning to doubt that the name of it was The Hotel. I cannot find any images of these mech sprites either and it's bugging the hell out of me. So I'm hoping someone here has been around and knows what I'm referring to or had even been a member of this IRC client. Here's a shittily-drawn example of what these sprites looked like: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8MxOmif.png[/IMG]
