lol everyone defending stuff graphics styles

you're right. it's totally feasible and not ridiculous at all for this little video game being made for free to use high-quality 3D models
or anything else high-quality for that matter

No offense to elecro, but should he be in here? Isn't he like the forum's running joke?

We're not saying use AAA-quality 3D models, we're just saying not pixel art because pixel art is really overused.

Flash style isn't necessarily crap, as long as it's done right. Would you say FTL has crap graphics?
EDIT: And you're saying pixel art ISN'T mediocre?

No, pixel art can be mediocre if it's done totally wrong as well.

Vectored artstyle is harder and isn't really worth it.

alright then what do you want to use? frickin' vectored style? Too bad, I'm pretty sure it won't be used anytime soon because right now we're aiming for a retro style

Which is way easier than a flash vectored artstyle that won't be any better because it is overused as well

[Flamecannon]

this arguement sure is out there
i like the binding of isaac and its art style is pretty swish
it's easy for this game to be made with pixel art because pixel art is easy to edit

[TristanLuigi]

In this case, pixel art is being done right. On the other hand, if somebody even TRIES to make a vectored style it'll fail miserably. Vectored artstyle is harder and isn't really worth it.

(Backgrounds are raster, but ship graphics are vector-based)





I don't think you can argue that all vector art looks bad, and Binding of Isaac may not look stunning but it's pretty good.

[Flamecannon]

jesus just do whatever! if you want the game to be a certain art style then you do it so then people will follow suit this is a community thing!

you wanna make the art and animations for a non-pixel game?

also... your avatar is pixel art? but you're saying pixel art is bad

so you want us to take an art style that is 10x more complicated, with people who don't know how to do it, rather than to work with a style that we already have workers for and that would make more sense for a video game about the stupidest idea in the loving universe

if you want us to take such a big loving step with a lame ass game idea, we won't be doing that. you? go ahead, be my guest.

oh btw your avatar is pixel art. + it's not even done right. Don't think you have a right to argue about this.

jesus what the heck is that last screenshot

Too lazy to change it, it's pretty old. Also, I would say vector art is almost easier to animate because you can rotate components individually. We could shoot for a Paper Mario-like style, which is super easy to animate but still looks good and Blockheads, which are made of separated blocks, are perfect for that style.

It's an RPG.

Just because I have a pixel art avatar that's old and I didn't even really try for means I don't have a right to argue? Okay sure. Pretty sure anyone can offer their opinion.

Comic Relief.

gj dodging my entire argument

I'm still not convinced and I'm pretty sure neither are any of the other devs.

If your argument is that nobody can do vector art, then fair enough. I'm just saying pixel art looks bad and is horribly overused.

[Flatflyer]

Guys the point is, the dev team is doing the game in pixel art style.
if you don't like it, don't play it.
you aren't going to change their mind
