Okay, i just want to know your opinion on whether you should use original graphics or ripped graphics in klik-games.
So far, ill vote for original. BUT, what if the original graphics was so awful, that your eyes hurt everytime you saw them. Still better than ripped graphics?
Thats what i want to test. So therefore ive made this little 'test' with 4 different games. To the left, is the beautifully sprited ripped graphics from the game. To the right, is my own made graphics, original graphics.
Now, youre not supposed to say which one is the prettiest, youre supposed to vote at the one you would like to see in a TGF OR MMF FAN-GAME!!! Ripped... or original?

GAME 1: Kirbys Adventure

GAME 2: Super Metroid

GAME 3: Blackthorne

GAME 4: ET

Well, it depends on if you actually put some EFFORT into the graphics; you just made them shit to get your point across.

I made this for three reasons.
1. I was bored
2. Nothing interesting on tv
3. I wanted to point out that not everyone can do graphics so well, so stop bashing people for ripped graphics

well, if you're not good in graphics, why not try to find someone to help you with that? There are plenty of talented people here. Although getting one to help you will be a challenge, but it's worth a shot. Also, just keep practicing as well, and you surely will improve.

I would never rip into someone for using ripped graphics. However it rarely makes your life easier.
You see, you need to get the graphics spot on, otherwise people will pick holes in them. Also the game has to play exactly like the game it looks like.

If you rip kirby graphics you will have to make the game just like the kirby games and you will get marked down for anything you've missed out.
Now if you make your own character that is similar to kirby, you can leave a few things out and noone will have a right to complain because then it's your game.

How can you feel rewarded using other peoples GFX? Making sprites is very rewarding, especially when you learn over some months and slowly skills improve

^I agree.

If you're not so good at graphics, try and find somebody to help you or practise and learn yourself.

The problem with drawing own graphix is (at least for me) that drawing the graphix sometimes takes almost 1/2 of the time it takes to create the game.

I agree with adam, I am drawing my graphix myself because I actually likes to draw them (even if I still am quite bad at it). The thing that I say is that I can understand why some ripps graphix, it cuts down the time it takes to make the game and it do mostly not affect the gameplay (at least not very much.) For example I likes lost valley very much even if they uses ripped graphix.

But this maybe only is my opinion

I'm decent at graphics, but I've been going for minimalism lately because I don't have much patience. It's not hard to make original graphics not look like shit, really. There just doesn't seem to be much overlap between people capable of not sucking and those that use rips. It can be done well, but it usually isn't.
