Hey, I know Lib graphics arent good for games, you know lib graphics arent good for games, but does anyone here know why? A friend of mine is complaining that I am complaining about his lib graphics for his game, he asked why, & I wasnt able to answer him...

So it all comes down to this boiling question...
Why are lib graphics bad?

Because they aren't original. Simple as that.

Meh. You know, the lib graphics are there for a REASON. So that beginners can concentrate on making games. I mean, what's the point of having lib graphics if everytime you use them, someone complains?

I mean, I'd prefer original graphics any day, but IMO, lib graphics are on the same level as ripping from commercial games - maybe slightly above since you're actually using graphics INTENDED for use in such a way, as opposed to ripping off something someone was paid to do.

Because we've all seen the library graphics a million times. They're well-drawn, but everyone's sick of them now. Used in a game you'll very rarely get a consistant style, too.

Yeah, Dave, they were paid to do the lib graphics. But the lib graphics are intended to be used in other games. Mario and Sonic sprites were not.

You know, nobody really cares if you use lib graphics because it's usually a good indicator of how good the game is
