So canvas is on again this year! We could try and be a bit more organised this time if people are around
Oo, this should be fun. I don’t know if we have the personnel to make something too big, but we could maybe do something other than the badge this time lol. Any suggestions?
Yeah obviously the badge is an easy option given they’re already templates we can use out there
One thought I had was maybe to do a version of the patchwork strip from a few years ago, but we’d need to figure out how to turn it into a template that doesn’t look rubbish
only thing is I’m realising this might cut up the dead cells art but also I don’t even remember there being any indie game communities every time i’ve tried to look for them so uh. it’s fine probably

Gonna start with this one we used last year, there’s a spot somewhat near the gay / nato flags imma use around (167,58)
I was thinking if we have the personnel etc. we can try to do this A as well? and also text announcing us lol
Have we started on this yet? It looks like the canvas has been expanded, so might be a good time to claim a spot for it!
nope, go ahead! i’m working on the hong kong flag
which blue looks better? i was thinking to use the darker blue on the darker side might look better but now i’m not as sure
only thing is I’m realising this might cut up the dead cells art but also I don’t even remember there being any indie game communities every time i’ve tried to look for them so uh. it’s fine probably
I think we used this, anyway. Not sure tbh.
Yeah that looks familiar, I’ll be able to contribute properly once I’m done with work
Have you got the exact settings you put into the template screen? (Width, X & Y most importantly)
nah i have no idea how to do the template thing, i’ve been copying manually lol
Okay so
URL: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/96b7cdff-b8dd-4629-8784-0a6ba396d61f.png
Width: 35
X: 161
Y: 67
And set the opacity to something under 50%, change the template style to “source”
Looks like we might get some clashes at the edge
Edit:
New coordinates: X: 125 Y: 2Edit 2: back to the original ones
peace flag seems to have a lot of people working on it, on the other hand idk if there’s a better spot
X: 125Y: 2Looks goodEdit: sticking with the original location
talking to the folks in the chat, might be fine? you can see the chat, we’ll see if we need to move lol
Yeah I was gonna say it might be worth considering moving, we’re getting removed already
we’re good to stay original spot
Oh lol, fair play, I’ll figure it out and post the details in a bit then
