my character designs

mistral · Fri 28/04/2006 21:18:55

for some reason, all the sprites i have for my game, are well better than any game ive seen here on the ags site. and i mean this in the way that they look better, they are nothing like roger (the origianal character you have) mine just seem to be of a better quality compared to others. im not trying to gloat, i just want to know why no one elses game has graphics like mine. p.s. i have downloaded special ones to use they havent always been there.

After I got an email filled with hate, I learned that he didn't really put to words his question, nor post in the right place.

I'm translating his original post as to not incite hate from members:

Translation:

I am working on putting Hi-Res graphics into my game and am wondering why i don't happen to see more people work on putting Hi-Res graphics into theirs? Is there a nostalgic factor going on here where almost all of you are trying to recreate the 90's or is it just a way to get your game done faster with somewhat easier to do graphics?

Wow, it's a good thing you translated that.

Nacho · Sat 29/04/2006 16:40:34

Krysis · Sat 29/04/2006 16:42:39

Yeah, can we please see the light? I am curious. Ã,Â :

What a strange post - I've seen a lot of great looking characters in my time, and that's even in just 320x200.

In relation to the translation - simply put, yes - there is a nostalgic thing going on here, seen as AGS and many of the games themselves were inspired by the classic 80's and 90's 2D graphic styles.

Both my games are 640x480. I don't claim that it's because I'm a better artist; it's just that my personal style feels easier to convey through higher resolutions.

Layabout · Sun 30/04/2006 02:08:09

I'm old school. I love 320x240!!!

That said, I will play a game in a higher resoloution.

But only if the other elements of the game spark my interest.

Like with any game. If it has a good idea, doesn't visually assult me, I will generally play it.

I don't know what you're talking about, Mistral. The sprites in all of my games look they were drawn by our lord and savior, Jesus Christ, himself. Well, before he got those holes in his hands and died and all...

yes mistral show us your sprites!

If we are to assume that 'better quality' means 'higher resolution' then I think there are a number of reasons that most AGS games are low res:

1. Low-res is quicker (not easier) because there are fewer pixels.
2. Low-res has the nostalgia factor of the games we grew up with.
3. Low-res animation is usually done through pixel-pushing which is less practical in hi-res animation. I suspect more AGSers have the means for pixel pushing than for hand-drawn cel animation.

That said, there are higher resolution AGS games around, and some in production (hint: click the link in my signature...).

For some reason, the plot in my upcoming game is far better than any other plot I've ever seen on this forum, even the original Demo Quest (tm).
I wonder why nobody has done a plot as good as mine?
I'm not trying to brag, I'm just curious.

At least this is titled "my character designs" and not "my penis size".
