Keep the current size (1000x500)

the canvas is currently 60% filled

There's not enough time left to meaningfully fill another 500,000 pixels; there's still a ton of white space on the current canvas. If the place time was shortened, it would have to be down to something like 5 seconds to be impactful. Changing the "rules" to that extent this late in the game feels silly. There's plenty of empty space as it stands.

Just my 2 cents, though.

I agree with you. There isn't even a proper job for the void - no one needs art to be eaten up because nearly everyone has space.

Would it change your mind if I have a giant Shrek template? Was too late to the expansion to deploy it without going over stuff people were making.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

500? maybe not, but i think it would be okay to resize it by 250 pixels instead. Not too large to be left out blank, and not too small for larger artworks to be made

that's when people lack place that creativity and diplomacy begin between communities. Better have a beautiful small canvas than an empty big one

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Why did we resize at all? This completely prevented all competitions about space that makes the canvas so much fun. A lack of resources sparks creativity!

+1

If you do choose to expand though, maybe make it so you have a pool of maybe 8-12 pixels that can only be used for fresh canvas and then 4-6 for overwriting?
As shortening for non-touched pixels seems there could be an exploit to get more normal pixels?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I like this idea. Wasn't it used in the 2023 Canvas?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Absolutely dont resize.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Resize the canvas (to 1000x1000)

[–] Ategon 10 points 3 months ago

Note if its resized the cooldown could also possibly be reduced

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Only if the time is decreased and more pixels can stack. Otherwise it will be too empty

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I would like to draw some spaceship as Ariane 6 or James web, with a reduced cooldown too. :3 can we resize to 1500x500 ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Like told in matrix, this would require to have a "shortening" of the cooldown if the pixel got placed on empty space.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If needed to expand the cooldown time the end date should be extended again for a full day

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Leave it as is.
