Q-Nova is an active MFGGer, frequent reviewer, and prolific wiki editor, known for spotting even the smallest changes to the mainsite, forums, or wiki, often within a matter of minutes. He discovered MFGG during the middle of 2012, but didn't create an account until March 7, 2015. Before joining the site, he had downloaded many fangames from the main site and played them, the first of which were Gravity Goomba and Crazy Lakitu DX. He had also downloaded many sprite sheets from the main site, and used them for his fangames (though, they were edited, so they don't clash with his own sprites), along with his own sprites. Like Supernova, he is addicted to collecting badges. He was also a prolific reviewer and has received the Super Reviewer badge. He is also a spriter, which, his style is mostly known for lacking outlines.

History

2015

QNova SpriteComp.PNG

When he first joined, he was a very active poster (mostly at the General Chat), and submitted sprites and reviews to the main site. He competed in the Sprite Competition #1 - 2015, his entry (which is displayed at the left) being based on one of his favorite fangames, Abducted Toad. His entry made it into the top five, but it didn't win as it didn't earn any votes during at the final voting phase.

In March 10, 2015, he created his wiki account. He made a entry for the Drawing Competition #2 - 2015 two days after creating a wiki account, and his entry represented Sonic the Hedgehog. His Drawing Competition entry did not make it to the top five, even though, it earned a couple votes. In March 15, 2015, he joined Xandalf's current collaborative project (which is currently on hold), "Smash Bros Retro", as he considered himself to be sufficiently adept at GML.

He made a entry for the Drawing Competition #3 - 2015, which pokes fun at the fact that Mario can enter warp pipes that contain Piranha Plants, without getting bitten. However, Q-Nova made another entry as a replacement for his former one, which represents Toadette Strikes. His Drawing Competition entry didn't win, as it didn't receive any votes.

He created Bob-Ball, which is his entry for the Super Competition #1 and his first fangame to submitted to MFGG. Q-Nova produced the engine and graphics, and composed a single music track. His Super Competition entry didn't win, as it didn't earn any votes. He submitted Bob-Ball to the main site later, which was accepted after a few days.

Thunder Dragon's Shy Guy sketch.

When he changed his avatar into a Shy Guy sketch (which is made by Thunder Dragon) as he decided to obey the caption below VinnyVideo's avatar (which reads as "Always have a Shy-Guy in your avatar"), a fad is created. This small fad involves a few MFGGer's changing their avatar into Thunder Dragon's Shy Guy sketch. This fad only lasted for a day.

He participated at the Great MFGG Easter Egg Hunt of 2015, and he was able to crack all the eggs of that event (with a small amount of help from some MFGGers). He's the winner of the Cyan Egg, and claimed the prize, JumpJet Rex. He's also the winner of the Orange Egg, but he declined the prize, Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers, which instead goes to Myte. He helped a few people on cracking the third puzzle of the Orange Egg, by giving them hints.

At May 11, 2015, Q-Nova participated at the seventh Isometric Collaboration. He had created sixteen tiles before the Isometric Collaboration was scrapped.

Sprite Comp 2.PNG

He created the Sprite Competition #2 - 2015, as Supernova is unable to create the next Sprite Competition, due to his laptop hard drive failing on him. He also competed on it, with his entry (which is displayed at the right) representing an evolved Octorok, which is an enemy from the Legend of Zelda series. His Sprite Competition entry got a couple votes during the top five voting phase, but his entry didn't make it to the top five.

On May 17, Q-Nova participated at the MFGG E3 Bingo of 2015. He got twelve squares marked down, but he didn't get a bingo.

On May 20, 2015, he competed in the Drawing Competition #4 - 2015, with his entry representing Mario (with his emotion being the sad smiley) and Greeno as robot masters. His Drawing Competition entry made it to the top five, but did not get any votes past that point, and thus did not win. He later competed in the Super Competition #2 with Nightmare's Revenge. Q-Nova produced the engine and graphics, while edeN composed the music. His Super Competition entry did not win the competition, and only got one vote.

On May 27, Q-Nova signed up for MFGG Mafia. His role in the game was being the mayor, and he was killed on June 13.

Starman Cartoon QNova.PNG

On May 31, 2015, he competed in the Sprite Competition #3 - 2015 with his entry (which is displayed at the left) representing a Starman, a well known enemy from the Mother/Earthbound series. The Starman was redesigned to fit an 80s Saturday morning cartoon, as that was the theme of the competition. His Sprite Competition entry got one vote, but didn't win. He later entered the Music Competition #1 - 2015, but did not get any votes.

In June 10, 2015, he competed on the Drawing Competition #5 - 2015, and his entry represented Mario and a Bob-Omb Buddy, both of whom were cosplaying as the Pokémon characters Red and Electrode, respectively. At the voting phase, Q-Nova's Drawing Competition entry didn't receive any votes, and thus did not win. On June 25, he created A Typical Day as is his entry for the Joke Game Contest #1 - 2015. His Joke Game Contest entry didn't earn any votes, but as the winner was also the host of the Joke Game Contest, and thus technically disqualified, Q-Nova won by default.

Q-Nova's entry for the Sprite Competition #4 - 2015.

On July 29, he made an entry for the Sprite Competition #4 - 2015; his entry was an action pose of Satoru Iwata, a Balloon Fighter alt costume, and an emblem that represented Nintendo. During the voting phase, Q-Nova's Sprite Competition entry received a vote, but it didn't win. On August 1, 2015, he was officially confirmed to be a spriter of Super Mario Flashback.

On August 4, Q-Nova re-shaded four of the smilies. The four smilies that were updated were :disagree:, :tired:, :agree:, and :laughing:. In August 20, Q-Nova had showed a screenshot of Bob-Ball vs. Toads, which is a crossover between Bob-Ball and Toads vs. Koopas. Q-Nova participated at The Grammar Game, which, he didn't survive in the first round.

On September 7, Q-Nova competed at the Drawing Competition #6 - 2015, with his entry representing Roboshi, which is a robotic version of a regular Yoshi. His entry received one vote, but it didn't win.

Q-Nova's entry for the Sprite Competition #5 - 2015.

Q-Nova created The Flooded Tower, which is his entry for the Minigame Competition #2 -2015. The Flooded Tower was the only entry to be submitted for the Minigame Competition, so it won by default. Q-Nova had made an entry for the Sprite Competition #5 - 2015 on September 23, his entry being a blue Toad, Blu Bill (which is just Toad with Bullet Bill-related powers and costume), and a Bullet Bill. His entry received a couple votes, but it didn't win.

During in the last week of October 2015, Q-Nova participated in The Hallowsphere, and managed to access all three Hallowspheres, with a little help from a hint for the second and third one. During in the Deep Hallowsphere, Q-Nova updated its ref into a more female looking Shlyo. Q-Nova had also participated in Nyerk nyerk nyerk!, and is the first one to discover who was in hostage at the first day.

Q-Nova's entry for the Sprite Competition #6 - 2015.

On November 2, Q-Nova competed in the Drawing Competition #7 - 2015, and its entry represented Doc Guy, who is a doctor-ified Shy Guy. Q-Nova's Drawing Competition didn't win, as it didn't receive any votes during in the voting phase. On November 12, Q-Nova updated its ref again into a Shlyo with gray and red clothes, along with a zipper. Q-Nova made an entry for the Sprite Competition #6 - 2015, which represented a Goomba and a couple Koopa shells in the style of the Invasion of the Vorticons trilogy from Commander Keen. Q-Nova's Sprite Competition entry didn't receive any votes in the top five voting phase, and therefore it didn't make it to the top five.

Q-Nova participated in the Secret Santa event of 2015, with his gift being a picture with some sprites in it, which is for BlimpFruit.

2016

Like he was on 2015, Q-Nova was somewhat an active MFGGer on 2016. On January 8, Q-Nova competed on the Drawing Competition #1 - 2016, and his entry represented a green Sprixie Princess as a Mini. While his Drawing Competition entry received a vote in the top five voting phase, his entry didn't make it to the top five. On the MFGG Awards of 2015, Q-Nova was nominated for Best Reviewer, Jack-of-all-Trades, and Most Positive Contributor, while he won Best Newcomer. Nightmare's Revenge was nominated for Most Original Gameplay and Best Setting, and The Flooded Tower was nominated for both Best Sprites and Most Replay Value, while it won Best Minigame. His avatar (which is a drawing made by imaginary cake that was made as a gift for the Secret Santa event of 2015) was nominated for Best Avatar.

On February 22, Q-Nova submitted an entry for the Super Competition #1 - 2016, which was named as Beat: the Game. The engine and graphics was made by Q-Nova, while Cadet composed the music. Although his Super Competition entry received a single vote in the voting phase, his entry didn't win. He participated at the E3 Bingo event of 2016 on May 3. He managed to get fifteen squares marked down, and he also got a bingo.

Q-Nova entered the Music Competition #2 - 2016, his entry being an airship theme that attempts to follow the style of Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins. His Music Competition entry didn't receive any votes during in the top five voting phase, and therefore it didn't make it to the top five. Q-Nova drew an entry for the Drawing Competition #2 - 2016, which represents Fabio, a farmer that is designed to be a brother for Mario and Luigi, since that is the theme of the competition. Although his Drawing Competition entry received a vote during in the top five voting phase, it didn't make it to the top five.

On July 2, Q-Nova submitted an entry (which can be found in the left) to the Sprite Competition #2 - 2016, which represents a clown Toad. Even though his Sprite Competition entry made it to the top five and received one vote during in the final voting phase, it didn't win.

Steam

Somewhere at April 2015, he created his Steam account, as he got JumpJet Rex from the Great MFGG Easter Egg Hunt of 2015. He only owns one game, as none of the other games have interested him so far, but he has been very active at playing his game. Besides playing his game, he is friends with some MFGGers, including Elyk, Mors, and Blutorus.
