To Buster and Rox...

In Response To: Re: Ever wonder what Halo would like on SNES? *IMG (Mathijs Buster) : Yeah.. because pixel artists are naturally harsh. : Give the man some credit, he never said he was trying to make it looks like a : SNES game, was he? He just made that a rhetorical question for a nice : opener. : Also, he used RPG2000, all animations kinda look like that in that program, : since it sticks to basic values. However, I have the program as well, and : I can see that a LOT of work went into the creation of this. The program : simply doesn't allow it to get much better than the creator currently did. : I'm sure you are a great pixel artist, but you shouldn't apply your way of : art to that of everyone elses. : To the creator I say, keep up the good work, and I'd love to play this game : when it's finished! I've made lots of things with RPG2000, but nothing : nowhere as impressive as this. Keep it up! Hah, I was in the middle of replying to his post saying almost exactly what you said about the program and my statement about "on SNES"! I'm glad I rechecked the board. Thanks Mathijs Buster and everyone else for the great feedback. Makes me proud of all those lonely nights after school screaming my head off at invincible grunts and strange flashing lights that came from nowhere... To Rox: Hey there is nothing wrong with constructive criticism! I fully understand how someone can see how this looks like crap. It does look tremondously better in motion (especially the phantom and explosions) though, and the most important thing is, the limitations. It is very difficult to use this program. It was translated by a Russian from Japanese to English, and it solely intended to make Final Fantasy style 16-bit RPGS. To make an action, cinematic game is a horrible idea for this, but I did it anyway. I decided to use different perspectives here and there because it is either that or nothing. On SNES and similar systems, realistic art is plain impossible. I cannot re-create real life or the Halo games, I just did what I could. Art was not the low priority, it was the highest, actually, but when you have to convert files to low-grade PNG graphics that are a two by two inches, you can not expect much. The color pallette of a game is actually chosen by the game maker, not the system (a system may have cap on a limit of colors though). I have seen some people rip all the data from SNES games like FF5 and 6 and reorganize them into this program and they look pretty close! I welcomed your criticism, until you told me I wasn't a pixel artist and didn't worry about the art. I have no idea how you recieved the gift to declare who is an artist and what is correct art, but such comments are foolish and are irrelevant to constructive criticism. Just because something does not subscribe to your view of art, doesn't mean it is not art. Just because something has incorrect perspectives does not mean it is bad art (last time I checked, Picasso is still usually regarded as an artist).

Art by me!
