GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Koh]

I don't think the graphics are what's supposed to be the selling point. I think it's moreso as a proof of concept to say "Hey look, I managed to write an NES demake of The Witness and get things to actually work - and that's impressive, especially if it's written in ASM or something. Like, I think that's the entire selling point of this project. It looks like a one-man project so far - like this guy's a programmer first and pixelartist second.

I mean, if you're willing to help him spruce up his game a bit while keeping a general aesthetic that both works on the NES and stays true to The Witness, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to have you on board. This IS a spriting forum, isn't it?

I can understand that, and can appreciate the coding effort, but just looking at it doesn't make me want to play it either, lol.  Graphics may not be everything in the long run, but they most definitely play a huge role in advertising the game, and getting one interested, as well as bringing out the world.  Children's coloring book graphics don't make me personally interested in playing it, but this is one of those instances where I could be surprised by what the gameplay has to offer.  It was the same case with Undertale, so who knows, right?
