Ton: /* Badassbill Handover */

The VG Resource began its life in the form of [[The Spriters Resource]].

==The Spriters Resource==
===NinSprites===
Ninsprites was founded by Mark Brown, then known as Bacon, who ran the site from June 2003 - January 2005.

===Renaming into The Spriters Resource===
Wanting to expand beyond only Nintendo, Ninsprites was rechristened "The Spriters Resource" and began accepting sprites from all platforms.

===Badassbill Handover===
Shane Gill, also known as Badassbill, ran the site from January 2005, to March 2006 after Mark Brown moved on to focus on other projects.

===Dazz Handover===
Daniel Brown, also known as Dazz from his own sprite-hosting site, Deek & Dazz, inherited the site in March 2006.

===tSRadio===

==Pixeltendo==
Pixeltendo was the name of the forum associated with [[The Spriters Resource]], and was owned by Jordan. Eventually, Dazz decided to split [[The Spriters Resource]] away from the Pixeltendo forum due to the negative reputation the forum had received as being unwelcoming. Dazz created [[The Spriters Resource]] Community, later renamed to The VG Resource Community. Eventually, Jordan stopped hosting Pixeltendo due to a lack of new members and the forum closed.

==The Spriters Resource Community==
In 2008, [[The Spriters Resource]] finally created its own forum and no longer used Pixeltendo.

==Expansion==
After the death of N-finity, webmaster of The Shyguy Kingdom, [[The Spriters Resource]] offered to rehost TSGK's sprite rips. Shortly after, the network added four more sites: [[The Models Resource]], [[The Textures Resource]], [[The Sounds Resource]], and The VG Resource (which at the time was meant to be a news/review based article site).

==The VG Resource==
The VG Resource started its life as a videogame news/review site, but due to a lack of writers and Dazz's schedule being filled with the other resource sites, that didn't pan out. The purpose of the site was changed and "The VG Resource" instead became the name of the network of sites hosting [[The Spriters Resource]], [[The Models Resource]], [[The Textures Resource]], and [[The Sounds Resource]]. The Spriters Resource Community was renamed and reskinned with a VG Resource skin, and the VG Resource domain itself was applied to the new network-wide forum.

==Icon Renovation Project 2014==
The four resource sites received new layouts and icons. The forum was archived and reset to go along with this new phase of the site.

The old icons used on the site used to be solid images with the title text embedded within the image itself. The new icons are dynamically controlled through CSS which allows easy changes to any icon by simply editing the associated text or image.

==The VG Resource Wiki==
The VG Resource Wiki (the one you're reading right now!) was also created in 2014.

'''Player Select''' - There are white parts that are on the sprites that should not be there and sheet uses a grey background when the sprites also contain grey.

What Makes A Good Submission

2016-10-05T15:42:10Z

Ton: /* Game Icons */

Submitting to the Resource sites can be tricky for some, but by following some basic steps, you can easily ensure that your submission will be approved.

==What Is Not Acceptable==
===Your Own Character===
Make sure that your submission is not a made up character. This only really applies to custom submissions, but it can also be if you've made a game and feel your content should be on the sites. It isn't your place to make that judgement, and in cases you like this, you'd be best off asking us first. We only accept content for media ripped from commercially released, or notably reputable released games. In terms of custom submissions, we only accept content surrounding things that appear within a game, or gaming related media (Such as Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons).

===Stolen Content===
We don't like thieves in real life, and we do not like them here. Please make sure that you actually ripped or made the content you're submitting, and didn't just simply find it on some other website and felt like you could just submit it and claim credit. We have a community in the hundreds of thousands, many of whom actively seek out stolen content. You will be caught, and you will be banned.

==Game Icons==
Game Icons use the same style across all sites. They are created by a 240px x 125px cropped screenshot from a game ('''not''' its cover art). The website itself inserts code surrounding the image to represent it in the form of a Game Icon.

[[File:Game-icon-example.png|center]]

There are a few basic guidelines for creating a new Section Icon;

-When creating a new section, double check across other Resource sites. It's possible that the other sites have the game already, and thus a usable icon. Simply copy the image URL or save the image, and use it with your submission. This helps make it easier to find the same game across the sites.

-Game Icons must be in either a .[[PNG]] or .[[GIF]] file format, and of high quality. Where possible, downsizing a screenshot should not occur, and should represent the game that it is being submitted for.

-It is preferable that icons aren't taken from [[Dictionary#JPEG|JPEG]] screenshots found on the web, as the JPEG format is a lower image quality.

-Don't use the game's title screen as the icon. The title will be automatically included in the final icon. (See above)

-Be artistic! Think of this as an art gallery. Frame your screenshot nicely.

-If the space allows, please use a 1 x 1 pixel ratio.

-Similarly, if space allows, try to avoid the HUD or menu images in your screenshot.

-Avoid spoilers, such as a final boss or plot twist.

-Concentrate on something that shows the game's genre in action. For example, Super Mario Bros. 3 should use Mario in a stage, rather than on the map screen.

-What makes this game unique? For example, Tails debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. A good Sonic 2 icon should include him.

-Vary screenshots within a series. Just because Mega Man shoots doesn't mean he has to be in the same shooting position in every icon.
