Depends. It's definitely not ok when they do sprites like this.

What I meant is this. No commercial NES game would have used sprites like these because it would be illegible on the typical consumer TV of that time.

It's more like they make stuff like noodle limb sprites that nobody would have done back in the day because it turned into an illegible mess on the typical 80s consumer TV>

>like any commercial NES game back in the day would have used those one pixel wide noodle limbs
99% chance homebrewfags have never tested out their games on an 80s TV set with RF. Then you'd quickly realize why stuff like this was never done (also the characters just plain look retarded).

a good deal of NES graphics design was based around making stuff look legible on the typical 80s consumer TV and sometimes also exploiting quirks of NTSC for graphics effects. a lot of homebrew games fail to understand stuff like this and so they use noodle limbs that a commercial NES release would have never done.

Firstly, homebrewers might want to educate themselves that commercial games never had those one pixel width noodle limbs for a good reason.

You think homebrewers would figure out that no commercial NES game used sprites like this because...yeah, that would look real nice on an 80s TV over RF.

My point was these idiots don't have any appreciation or understanding of technical limitations and why you can't make a good game with their design philosophies.

Try and find one commercially released NES game that had sprites like this. They didn't use this kind of design for good reason.

This doesn't really seem to have much of an own flavor at all. Just another semi-quirky, wholly underwhelming game that can't hold a candle to the actual old releases the respective old system has seen in it's day. Why on earth all these cookie-cutter homebrew titles have to have their own physical cart release is beyond me.
