A Place for new Spriters

[Terminal Devastation]

Then they should find someone to sprite for them if they aren't gonna put all the effort in themselves to make it look as best as it can. I mean, do you see *any* major company use edits for all of their sprites or have they made the sprites themselves. OH HEY GUESS WHAT! They make their own sprites!!!!

Even if it is just a game for fun, if you enjoy making the game you should put all of your effort into making it so you can feel more proud of it afterwards.

I apologize for not being more clear. I am not refering to cases where they are trying to get away with minimal effort.

I am refering to projects where the edits will be upgraded/replaced later with increasingly greater quality as they are able to get them, either by an increase in their own skill or by finding someone to make better sprites for them. But while they wait, they try to make something as presentable as they can with the skills they currently have. Sort of a compromise between having something "done" now, and having the real quality one wants. The effort is there, just not quite the time to have decent results right away.

After all, projects have died due to stagnation while someone waits for quality sprites. I know of at least one really promising fan game dying due to the programmer waiting for superior sprites, rather than just going ahead with placeholders and the best he can make for now.
