Amiga cross-stitch

mirthturtle · 02 June 2020, 18:17

My girlfriend and I have been playing some 2-player Qwak in the last month, so just for fun I decided to make her a cross-stitch of our characters. It took about a week of intermittent work

Does anyone else do Amiga-related cross-stitch? What game would you do if you did?

Very nice. Suits pixels.

I wonder how long it would take to do a full screenshot of Syndicate

Very nice indeed! Incidentally, there was quite a good cross-stitch pattern program for the Amiga that I dabbled with back in the day. I never made any of the patterns, but it was fun to play with. I'm sure it was on a magazine coverdisk...

Hi All, It`s a standalone programme, called Cross Stitch Master, comes with a second disk of patterns. I can put a copy in the zone if anyone wants it?
Cheers

Amazing work!

Compliments to your lady.

Cross-stitch is sort of traditional stuff in my country, and some (especially old) ladies, are really masters of the craft.
Well, I guess it's in many countries, too.

More Amiga Cross-stitch please!

mirthturtle · 04 June 2020, 01:45

Thanks all!

And thanks Wizard, I'll check out that program for my next one. Syndicate, eh...

wizard1 · 04 June 2020, 13:50

Hi mirthturtle, Syndicate in the zone now.
Cheers

You miss understand wizard1.

Everybody know's where to download Syndicate from / or probably already has it; it's not exactly rare...

mirthturtle was talking about possily doing a Syndicate cross-stitch; in response to this post:

Indeed! Thanks anyway wizard1

I have an idea for a Syndicate design, so I'll take some screenshots this weekend and put something together.

mirthturtle · 14 June 2020, 19:04

So I gave Cross Stitch Master a try, but I found it less usable than my original method, GIMP with 1px gridlines

But here is a Syndicate design for Biscuit! If anyone feels inclined to produce it I would be delighted to see.

mirthturtle · 19 June 2020, 15:16

Dug out a picture of a project I did for my brother a few years back, Dr. Fred from Maniac Mansion based on these designs.

I never ended up doing the Nurse Edna one though; too harrowing.

jotd · 06 November 2020, 22:23

with my sons we use to re-create arcade game characters with ironable plastic beads or whatever

put them on a grid, iron them flat. We made a lot of pac man ghosts, a huge bowser and donkey kong among others.

I tried to do the character from Gods but there are too many shades of brown and it's huge too, so it's really tedious. With colored characters it's easier.
