Undertale had like one person do an intro,and one other person do some sprite art here and there. But the bulk of the work was still done by a single guy.

Don't do that with pixel art, unless you're planning on showing an entire s gameplay segment or something.
webm is a movie compression format, which means it degrades the quality of the picture in order to save data. In order to get true pixel crispness, it needs to be presented in gif, or png.

I love Undertale, but the graphics are a large problem. The artstyle and bitcount are stable in the Ruins at least, but later on the game has a huge crisis of self and constantly changes style, some enemies look more in place in an early 80s computer game instead of an 80s console, and some things like Undyne are upscaled and look far too big for traditional spritework.

The music is the undeniable clencher, and the story is far more subjective; but I hardly see people write Undertale up as a fantastic game because of its riveting artstyle.

Not every game is going to have great graphics. If a person stopped themself from making a game because their artistic ability was lacking in one department or another then no one would benifit from us simply having less games. Secondly a video game does not need to pass some test on how many other video games it is better than in order to be enjoyed.

Thats a laugh. Its also persons, not person.

>and they are clearly basing the style off of Earthbound / Mother3, so they at least have a model to reference shit from.
If you're referring to Toby basing Undertales art off of Mother, thats like comparing Tales Got Trolled to Archie Comics. You can see in that image the massive gap between what Mother actually looks like and what the kinds of people who participated in the Homostuck community thought Mother looked like.

Not necessarily. Toby Fox didn't do all of the graphics himself, he had quite a bit of help. You can quite clearly tell the difference between the majority of the overworld sprites for example, compared to pic related.

I don't think Toby knows what he's doing with sprites at all. He got carried by a few Tumblrino's and Homestuck dregs who actually know their shit
>>
>>343666008
>soo I guess undertale is a bad game because it's pixel art looks bad?
One of many flaws, but yeah pretty much.

He had 51k to make the game, and instead of getting some actual artists or investing in people who werent braindead, most of the work was done by his friends he made over his time in the Homostuck community.

the characters are fun and interesting, the way you don't have to kill anyone to complete the game is quite unique.

and the way saves and restarts are integrated into the story is pretty interesting to.

i'm not saying its the best game ever but its by no means a bad game.

sure you can say the art is bad or that the combat is shallow (which i don't agree with)
but that doesnt make the game bad.

My friend and I are making a game. Neither of us are good at art and we're trying to get better but the reality is the art in our game won't be that good and we're too poor to pay someone to make it.

The thing about UT is that the coder/composer, who is definitely not an artist, did some of the sprites like the player character and some of his other artist friends did some of the other sprites.

There are some bits of UT that look pretty alright, like some of the stuff in the snow town, but it isn't consistent and it clashes fucking constantly.

I can deal with the game having a really simple art style, but it starts bugging me when stuff doesn't look 'unified,' if that makes sense.

I still though UT was alright, even if it wasn't particularly impressive in most fields.

yeah, that's what i thought, great arguments memes man.

>the writing is cringy and literally memes on you
the writing is fine, there are some jokes but it's not even near borderlands level of cringe.
the characters are written well enough, and you are able to quickly understand their feelings and motives for doing the things they do.

>the gameplay offers no challenge with the exception of one or two bosses

the game gets a lot more challenging when you do a genocide run.
that said a high difficulty was never the point of the game. it was more about the world the story and the characters, and how you could interact with them.

>the story is a furfag fantasy

>I think the main issue with Undertale's pixel art is it really has no excuse looking the way it does.

Keep it simple, stupid. That's a phrase that gets passed around on occasion.

Its like the difference between new pokemon and old pokemon. The more simplistic you make the art, if you know what you're doing, the more the user is drawn into the story since they're forced to create the gaps with their imagination. New Pokemon looks way more on model, but there's an odd charm to the original sprites in their more simplistic nature.

This isn't just a cheap excuse people can use, its also an actual true thing that does work when its done right. Dragonquest also typically keeps it simple. DQ5 still looks way better in the sprite version where you have to use your thoughts to imagine some parts, than it does in the PS version where everything is spelled out for you.

Touhou art is another example of this maybe; the art is cheap or strange, but it does spark a lot of imaginations for some reason.

Its artstyle works with what it's trying to do, and that's its saving grace. All the other stuff makes it a game worth playing, but the graphics gel nicely enough with that stuff that it's worth commenting on when you're doing a review. If all it had was the graphics, it would be shit, but it's not the sort of thing that works well examined in isolation.

Also >>343662691 is right about the style getting unstable later on. The music does this too but it's just so good that nobody minds. The graphics do not have that defense going for them.

Be nostalgia-bait, obviously. It's trying to put the player in a more childlike frame of mind so that the plot, which is at its core pretty childish, can have the emotional impact it's supposed to by subtly hinting that you shouldn't approach it cynically. It's similar to starting a story that aims to ape fairy tale style with "Once upon a time...", for example.

The guy who made vanguard princess is demonstrably an artist/animator of at least some level.

Fox is not, and you can tell when something in UT isn't drawn by him, because it may actually look half-way decent.

He really probably should have just treated the demo like a prototype with dev graphics and got a dedicated art guy to make new art and tilesets for the full game.
Would have made the game look a hell of a lot less amateur-ish.

I'm pretty sure Monsters began the war against the humans, no? So long as monsters love humans, there there shouldn't be any beef between them.

Determination was explained to be a super powerful element that humans harbored within themselves, and detrimental to monsters. It was thought that flowey might be able to contain and utilize such determination, but he was simply wrong. He didn't have control over it, because there was simply too much.

This is only my opinion, but I think the implication is that Frisk has a seemingly infinite amount of determination because he's connected to the player. So long as the player remained determined, Frisk will carry on. There's nothing that can stop him, if the player keeps at it.

It is funny in parts, charming in parts, and yep, cringey in parts. I don't really know how to describe it's complexity. But if you consider how many details could have completely dissolved the cohesion of the story by a small slip-up, it's amazing how it all stays glued together. Things like naming the character certain names have been considered. The point of view of the inner dialog has been considered.(That's something I didn't want to believe for a while. That inner dialog is in fact Chara. But when it's broken down, it makes sense.)

I guess thats ok, although it's hard to imagine monsters starting a war when there is no crime or any kind of problem in their world other than "we want to get out", although they do try to kill you in sight, wich is pretty contradictory.
"Determination" works as "The power of friendship" most of the time, moving the plot when you are clearly in a corner "How am I going to defeat reality bending flower/goat? Determination" "How can we get past the magic barrier without killing more children? Determination" "How is it possible for a single human child to kill an entire race while other similar childs were killed? Determination" There isn't really an explanation for the SAVE/LOAD thing other than "determination" wich is ridiculous knowing that all humans should have said power in that case, it would work if monsters were traped in another dimension but they are inside a cave.
Also, the whole story could've been prevented if Toriel wasn't such a bitch.
You are giving the game too much credit, it's not complex because it works, it works because is not complex.
