Stardew valley is dozens of hours long, so obviously you'd want it to look pretty

Toby is right, design creates implications. The way a character looks is a representation of who they are but honestly its not like the ideas here are conflicting

Eric's sprites aren't all that much better. Dude is a good dev but not a great sprite artist. But I don't think this thread was made genuinely, I think it was made to force a discussion on boards.4chan.org/v/

These aren't even conflicting stances.

Toby since he has developed more games than Eric.

my philosophy is this, make it fun first then add whatever you want.

I don't really like either of their games, though.

apeman does pretty nice environmental stuff, it's probably telling that the most popular sprite mods for stardew are just toning down the bright yellow dirt and not actually redoing the spritework. he just can't draw people (which is understandable) or grandpa beds

Idk, stardew has only gotten worse since the introduction of ginger island

Hilariously the grandpa bed was left the way it was explicitly for the reason Toby is stating.

Top: aware of player's experience with a game
Bottom: Driven by a feeling of obsolescence, doesn't know when good is timelessly good
Top: Did innovate battle mechanics, has own visual and writing style
Bottom: Another "hey guys remember that game from your childhood? I've made a replica of it"

So did Eric Barone model Shane after himself?

Bait thread, but Toby has a point. He is talking about "expetations", not "quality".

Undertale thrives in misguiding the player expetations, the fact the graphics are so rudimentary is to futher cement this intended experience.
