    The only version ive seen is the steam version that actually has sprites

    Tiles are neither textures nor models1. The OG thing, also the one that’s in the MOMA, could render to an ANSI terminal.

    lmao, fuck off.

    …I mean, how long have you been around and how deep did you go that you don’t know that DF has existed for ages (2006)? It’s one of the standards. It’s like calling yourself a movie director but not having seen Seven Samurai.

    What in the actual fuck are you talking about? Theres is 0 chance you actually believe that.

    The tortured artist is literally a trope by now, though the boundaries to Faustian characters is often blurry. Art is expressive. It can be hedonistic but then because the artist is a hedonist, not because hedonism would make it art.

    Literrally what the fuck is the point of any of your comments besides being a troll?

    Art. I’m trying to get some basic art education into your skull so that your games won’t be, at best, trite slop with questionable mechanics. Producing something great is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, if you think you can get away with 1% inspiration and 99% masturbation you’re in for a rude awakening on release. “Oh no material reality is impinging on my vision”, great, another escapist. Touch paint. Or admit that you’re dabbling. I’ll still grant you the artist title but it’ll be in the shoddy category: If you want to create art, fucking care about art.


    1 except in a very technical sense when you write a tiler engine using 3d APIs because any grid of values is a texture in that terminology.
