Funny that today I finished a pixel art head of one of my characters, it would be so cool if it were a collab, everything depends on who you choose to work with as for this game it looks like the heads requires quality and same graphic line to make the game fair.

Make it like themes, only tankmen heads, clock crew characters, then some customs where you choose which can appear
Special themed rounds would be a good idea if there were a enough characters from the same series. Tankmen in particular might be a little difficult on a black background though lol
@MalFromed more schedule time!
If you want a consistent style then don't make it an art collab, or only collaborate with a few other artists
Clashing art style isn't that big of a deal fortunately. The temp sprites I'm using atm are a mix of flat colours and full shading, and I still think the game is pretty fun despite that.
That said I will probably encourage people to stick to the original Mario games art style if possible anyway
Both.
Though what do you mean by having them drawn in a specific way? Like are we talking about the colors specifically since the sprites used around technically 16 colors (14 if we exclude black and the "background" color.)? Because I already know that the heads are exclusively drawn within a 32x32 canvas.
Maybe "specific" wasn't the best choice of words from me, it's more just making sure that all head sprites are drawn to be about the same size. If a head ends up too thin/flat it can make them pretty hard to spot.
I think the collab is a great idea, one I would want to participate in for sure, but I also hope you'll make the Psychonauts version either way
Maybe I should include a Psychonauts "cheat" code that will bring back all the Psychonauts stuff that's currently in the game right now

In the end, do as you see fit, however I think this would make for an interesting Pixel Day Collab~!
But I'm not sure if that's Too Far or Too Close...

Pixel day is a good idea, it had completely skipped my mind. I was figuring an early January release date for a collab anyway, so it's not too far/close at all.
