Rocky start, but we’re here! also making this almost an hour late due to the rocky start # What’s Canvas? Canvas is a collaborative pixel canvas similar to Reddit’s r/place, except it is open to (almost) the entire Fediverse! The event is going on from July 12th 4am UTC to July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 hours) 🌎 https://canvas.fediverse.events [https://canvas.fediverse.events] Main community: [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://toast.ooo/c/canvas] Matrix: #canvas:aftermath.gg [https://matrix.to/#/#canvas:aftermath.gg?via=aftermath.gg&via=matrix.org] Discord (bridged): https://discord.gg/mEUqXZw8kR [https://discord.gg/mEUqXZw8kR] Microblog Announcements: https://social.fediverse.events/@canvas [https://social.fediverse.events/@canvas]

So canvas is on again this year! We could try and be a bit more organised this time if people are around

I’ve not started anything yet

    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?

    • @9point6OPEnglish

      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

        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

        • @AstrealixMEnglish

          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

        • @9point6OPEnglish
          1•2 months ago

          Have you got the exact settings you put into the template screen? (Width, X & Y most importantly)

          • @AstrealixMEnglish
            1•2 months ago

            nah i have no idea how to do the template thing, i’ve been copying manually lol

            • @9point6OPEnglish
              1•2 months ago

              Oh lol, fair play, I’ll figure it out and post the details in a bit then

              • @AstrealixMEnglish
                1•2 months ago

                we’re good to stay original spot

              • @AstrealixMEnglish
                1•2 months ago

                peace flag seems to have a lot of people working on it, on the other hand idk if there’s a better spot

                • @9point6OPEnglish
                  1•2 months ago

                  Yeah I was gonna say it might be worth considering moving, we’re getting removed already

                • @9point6OPEnglish
                  1•2 months ago

                  X: 125

                  Y: 2

                  Looks good

                  Edit: sticking with the original location

                  • @AstrealixMEnglish

                    talking to the folks in the chat, might be fine? you can see the chat, we’ll see if we need to move lol

        • @AstrealixMEnglish

          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

        • @AstrealixMEnglish
          1•2 months ago

          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
