Picture Wars is a forum game in which players wages war, build cities, forge alliances and much more on fully destructible battlefields. Players use their own armies in all sorts of different matches and scenarios. Players sprite their own armies and come up with their own gameplay mechanics.

Some example matches:

A match between The Vron (evil hive aliens) and Geisha's

A match between the Goblins and the Snozwangers

A match between the Coco's (orange guys) and the DrII republic (evil communist robots)

It doesn't stop with 1v1 battles though, you can play with almost any amount of players.

It isn't all regular battles either, you can have zombie infestations, building a city and much more.

Q&A
Q:What do I need to play Picture Wars?
A: You only need a basic image editing program capable of saving images as .png files. Most users just use regular MS Paint, though Photoshop, GIMP or something else work as well. Paint will cover your needs most of the time though.

Q:I don't have any spriting experience, is it hard?
A:Well, you don't need any experience to start out. We have some excellent tutorials, the mods and other members are always ready to give you tips and provide assistance.

I love this game, but it gets rather tedious after a while.

I actually forgot about this until you posted it. :p

Thanks! :D

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
