>this shit passes for a character sprite today

Isn't this prison simulator? Why would it need a more complex sprite?
>>340144054
A little more detail would be great. As it stands, it just looks lazy.
>>340144167
I would agree if the rest of the game wasn't similar.
>>340143931
The whole game has that artstyle, it would look weird to have detailed characters sprites
Nigga you have like 50000000 of these on-screen at once. What the fuck do you expect
Holy fuck OP for fuck's sake. In such a game like that each character becomes a symbol, not a realistic representation of a human, in that character specifically you need to identify TWO THINGS: That he's a prisoner (wearing orange) and that he's handcuffed.
Would you rather have a realistic fucking character with tiny little handcuffs that you can barely see?
Realism for realism's sake is fucking dumb, don't forget you're playing a game, and messages have to be efficiently conveyed.

If most PC gamers didn't have shitty ass toasters then they wouldn't have to have shitty low-res sprites for the thousands of prisoners on screen.
>>340143931
Out of all the games you could have used as an example you use Prison Simulator?
Are they even sprites? The game looks like a flash drawing (not being negative btw).
>>340144514
it looks like a cheap facebook game from 2005 or something, I'd wager that FB games today look better than this game.
>>340144782
Except there's dozens and dozens of these guys onscreen at any given time
Why is OP mad over this great game?
op's a fucking idiot. play dwarf fortress with more than 200 dwarves in your fort and even that will lag the shit out of your pc. because SIMULATION GAMES like dwarf fort or prison architect require A LOT of calculations and they want to minimise the load that the graphics/animations put on those calculations.
fucking dummy.

That's how you start a thread on /v/ when you want to talk about it.

I really don't mind that sort of character sprites, and at times the game actually looks gorgeous if it's properly zoomed out, it only starts getting weird when you zoom in too much, but there's nothing fucking happening and the "gameplay" is a bunch of QTEs and walking around.
Also it gets a little frustrating visually when they decide to mix non-pixel art assets with "HD" assets and certain effects. Also pixel size inconsistency.
With a little more care shit could actually work.
How is your prison going /v/?

>>340145981
