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.
Please, Mistral, enlight me with that supperb sprites... I need to see the light!
Yeah, can we please see the light? I am curious. Ã, ::)
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.
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... :P := :D ;D :o ::)

You're a liar and you'l burn in hell!
I'm not dead :P := :D ;D :o ::)
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".
This is insane !
I havent released anything yet, and you know why its just because I cant put you all down on my first game so Ive decided that I will spare all of you and not show you the level of my awesome skill! I have so way outwritten a brilliant story line that I had to sell it to Steven Spielberg to use as a german Porno.
I bet you guys would of loved to see my high res german porno adventure game, but fortunately I have received alot of money when I sold the rights to it :) or :( ... not sure ???
PS : Hey nik about this death thing... me and you gotta talk. ;)

LJUBI, Golden Rule Number 1 please. Thank you.
Pff, all of my games are 16,123 x 4,567 res.
Pft, who needs sprites. FMV is the schizzle fo nizzle..
i dont think mistrals coming back.
he hasnt posted in ages.
Now now guys, go easy on him/her. I mean, remember, this is the same person who is making the ...best gane i the world (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=25223.msg316290#msg316290).Ã, It would be such a shame if we upset him/her that he/she might decide against sharing the "best gane" or showing us his/her more-superior-sprites-than-any-other-AGS-game-ever. I mean, heck, I for one want to see this "best gane ever" and these "well better sprites". Don't you?Ã, ;)
Come on Mistral, please show us bumbling inept imbecels what real talent is all about. I for one support you. Though some people may think your bolstering is the spouted babblings of one with an over-inflated-ego or even someone just Trolling for attention, I for one realize it's just pure self-confidence of a superior-than-us-all-genius. Please share with us oh mighty one! :=
Oh my Gawd!
Barbarian posted sarcastically! o_O
I can't believe it!
The Don! The one and only Don??? Can this be???????? WOW
Now, honestly Mistral, the 2d adventure games are retro and a memory from the 80s or early 90s. If we watned to make the perfect sprites (although I can name a few here who actually do make the perfect sprites, like Big Borther, Mordy, Buloght, Progzmax and many others that I don't recall right now) we would.
Honestly show us (or me dont' show the rest of them! They're idiots :D)!
Spoiler
Dont' worry guys! Once I get the sprite, I'll show them to all of you :D
he's been active today but he hasnt even BOTHERED to post here.
That is crap! i am going to believe his sprites and his game are bad until i see otherwise.
C'mon mistral post images!!
Who cares, really? Some of you act as if members with overblown egos are something new to the forums. If this continues I shall have to unleash the c-64 Jack Thompson Gazelles!
Touch me and I'll sue. Come on, punk! Touch me and I'll sue!
