Actually what i said and meant were both exactly the same. You just went off and started talking about anatomy, which has nothing to do with "letting the player know what he's doing". That's after you called me stupid.
"You can't sacrifice functionality for your own personal style."
Saying that something absolutely positively has to be one way when it does not is retarded. I'm not going to try to go out-of-context to figure out what you attempted to say.
Functionality can be subjective so you CAN sacrifice functionality to fit a style, as not every style has to conform to the same specifications, which is implied by your post. There are obvious flaws and there are also times when creators decide to disregard certain flaws for their own personal wants or needs.
You are a moron! Your example was crap cause it had nothing to do with functionality. You seem to be ignoring the sentence before where i specify the functionality I'm talking about (letting the player know what he's doing).
"Saying that something absolutely positively has to be one way"
I NEVER SAID THAT, WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THAT FROM!?
You can do do things all kinds of ways, but it's moronic to do it in a way that makes it more difficult to play (unless that's your intent, but that's still obeying the rules of functionality)
Let me put it this way since you seem to lack basic reading and comprehension skills.
If you make pong with a black background, you don't make the paddle dark grey because then it's hard for the player to see what they are doing WHICH IS THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF GRAPHICS.
But you are probably to stupid too understand what i just posted -_-
The guy was just asking if people wanted to use his sprites in some of their upcoming projects, and all of a sudden the topic becomes a debate on his pixel art style, the guy at one point is even begging to send PM's on the discussion so the topic would not be closed. I am all for a good discussion but this topic was not meant about the guys art style and what is right and wrong he just wanted to really give his sprites away to be used in a game. The topic quickly desending into crap after all of that, (thanks Gamester and Ricky). I hope everyone is happy for destroying another topic.
If someone actually wants to use the sprites please PM Zethell.
