Why is nobody talking about this?

Because it's not worth talking about.

We told them to make their own games, so they are.
But nobody said we had to support them!

I thought the first one was a good fantasy premise but the other two are like vague personality test results or self help book quotes.

It's ugly

Why the fuck does that happen every time? Why is no one doing proper pixels like Neo Geo did? I would kill to get a game with graphics like pic related.
>>337709401
That requires effort.
>>337709401
Because indie devs don't have the money for that
Looks great just donated $250
Can't wait to design that amulet!
>>337709401
Because it takes a lot of time and effort, even more than modest 3D?
There used to be teams of 15 - 20 individuals just to make things like that. How is and indie team going to get that many pixel artists in this day and age? They should just stick to 3D, imo, since it's pretty easy to shit out a 3D model in Blendr or other 3D modeling programs.
>>337709401
Because they're just trying to grab the most cash with minimal effort.
Pixelart can be good if done properly but shitty 8 bit you see everywhere now clearly is not IT.
Looks great! I just donated my first born child.
>>337709401
that requires an artist with serious talent that most indie devs are not/cannot afford
>>337707228
Interesting. The idea of a world that resets itself every century is a neat concept and I'm all for a different gameplay mechanic for these RPGs. Unfortunate that they went with that level of pixel art. Not a big fan.
I'll probably wait to hear more.

I'd love it, too, but most of these indie developers are very small teams. The amount of skill needed for that level of fidelity would be huge. Most Kickstarters would have to be focused entirely on "Help us make this game look fantastic" and the majority of the campaign funding would be for that one thing.
Usually, Kickstarter campaigns are made with the intent of being able to fund the entire game's development, not just one angle. It'd be interesting to see a campaign like that, though.

>Why is no one doing proper pixels like Neo Geo did?
Because they're not backed by a fucking publisher and working with a team of professionals? How is that not hard to grasp?

While I agree, the issue for me is that regardless of it being 2D or 3D, the models/sprites feel like they have no "soul". For whatever reason, I think the latest Momodora game for example has fantastic spritework, and it was all done by a single guy. Sure it's not Neo Geo levels, but it has a certain charm to it that makes it feel alive.

I don't have anything against low-res pixelart specifically, but why is it no indie games actually look like real retro games? I wouldn't mind if they went the whole mile to make it look like it actually belonged on an old console.
that battle system looks like mobile shit, and the color scheme makes my eyes hurt
1/10 would not even pirate

Someone LITERALLY just asked this question
>>337710067
Effort. That's why indie games don't look that good. Undertale looks like shit graphically, but Toby put a lot of effort and heart into making the sprites, so it looks passably better than most other indie games. Same with Shovel Knight. Hell, even though Wayforward isn't indie, the same applies to them.
Modern teams consist of literally hundreds of people, just to make a couple of 3D models, texture, and bump map them. Good 2D is almost nearly as hard.
>Nobody decided to do pixel rpg
Why the hell would we care? This has been done a million times.
This thread is stupid as fuck and OP is obviously someone trying to get the word out.
