I've never heard it before, but he probably means where the "pixel" art has no consistency to the size of a "pixel". As in the cop's legs. They're two different widths, but on a system with the limits the artstyle is mimicking, they would have to be the same.

What? What does this have to do with gamergate? The sprites are just shit, the 1 pixel legs and arms suck, and the died hair looks ugly. Not to mention that the anti police brutality is now a pretty silly idea no matter how shitty the police is, the refugees and dindu nuffins are a bigger problem now. And even if you'd make an anti police game (I would have no problem with it), at least make a respectable character, now some blue haired hipster.
And the way you talk, it sounds like you have some problem with gamergate. Or think that we don't laugh at social justice warriors. Newfriend, if you can't accept criticism then that's too bad.

You're making a game where neon haired girl is mobbing against police during a period of time where neon haired extremists (see: SJW/feminism) are intensifying, and a related group (see: BLM) is attacking the police for shooting criminals.
No one is stopping you for making this game (unlike SJWs who are literally getting games banned from countries), but that doesn't mean we can't call it out for being cancerous.

You're trying to make sprite art type enemies, but they look like shittier versions of Code Geass spaghetti people. Look at these final fantasy sprites. They use half the pixels you do, and show a fuck ton more.
Redesign your sprites, don't try this anatomically correct bullshit, and trim them down to smaller squares. It'll make hit detection less retarded in the long run anyways.
And here, have a fucking newb guide that took 5 fucking seconds of googling and will keep you from recreating such monstrosities in the future.

You have zero understanding of the style or limitations of pixel art, you can't draw for shit and are ineptly using the style to get away with noodle limbs and blobs, the theme of your game comes across as an edgy 13 year old Californian stoner's "fuck tha police xD" fantasy at best, or an edgy 21 year old Californian tumblrina's "fuck the patriarchy UvU" fantasy at worst, you immediately got defensive when people started criticizing you, brought gamergate into the discussion, and compared making fun of your worthless ass to "stopping you" from doing anything.

That's not a settled question. What makes art "art" is one of the longest-debated questions in humanity's existence. It's not settled by a smug amateurgamedev on 8chan in 2015. For example, there's modern art that takes a ridiculous amount of time and skill to make, but just isn't that good. In my opinion (and I actually acknowledge it as my opinion, not as some sort of god-given truth) it has to do with the end product, and absolutely nothing to do with the amount of skill required to make it. Nothing at all. You're the guy who's impressed by those extreme metal guitar solos that use a million notes even though it sounds like dogshit, aren't you?
>I've never seen someone outside of deviantart get this entitled and upset that people don't like their halfassed art and worthless, unoriginal ideas.
Believe it or not, I'm not OP. I think that guy's long gone by now, probably crying into his scrambled eggs somewhere. I just think people like you who assume they have a monopoly on the final master-sword knowledge of aesthetics, truth and the nature of being should be confronted.
Pic related, this ought to really rustle your jimbos: I think this is better than many paintings by the old masters, though making it took all of a few moments (if not the conception of it).

I actually live about 45 minutes away from Kobe, and, in my opinion, Kobe beef is better than McDonald's. But read that really carefully. It's still my opinion. It says nothing about the objective nature of reality. Because I'm not a massive cunt. It's unpopular and pretty fucking weird (I think) to prefer Mackers to Kobe beef, but in the end you could prefer a giant turd filled with rotting maggots and no harm would come to the nature of the world. It's preference. You'd piss off a lot of uneducated people. ("You're WRONG!! You DON'T actually prefer rotting shit! You are lying to yourself!!!! HOW DARE YOUASHKFJKL") But life would go on as normal, and most importantly, you would not be somehow incorrect by your preference.
Preference literally can't be incorrect. Otherwise it wouldn't be preference, now would it?

Interesting that you're able to see the future. Must come in handy! However, I have to express a little doubt. You see, friend, it's far more likely, due to all the references to Fountain in the world, and its level of impact on human understanding and culture when it was originally created, that it would just as readily be recognized as art. (That's not to say it has more inherent value. And yes, if the two were found outside of all other contexts, the Rembrant would more easily be recognized as art, obviously. That doesn't say anything about the objective nature of art, even if you'd like to equate them and once again settle an age-old question in one masterful stroke, like every other pub-stool philosopher.)
I don't have an art degree (I do have a computer science degree, though) and I don't particularly admire postmodern philosophy, though I think there are some important concepts there, such as Barthes' "Death of the Author." Much more a fan of the existentialist line ... Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Camus. Husserl's work in phenomenology was also an important development, and pretty fucking relevant to the topic at hand. But for the entire span of your life, you'll never even read a Wikipedia article on phenomenology or Husserl, because you're a smug, superior little twit who thinks that as a result of graduating with a fucking STEM degree, he knows everything about subjects people have spent their entire lives considering, even though he's about as well-read as the user manual for E.T. on Atari.

First of all, I hope you'll forgive my violent outburst.
Second of all, let me address your opinion that "death of the author" is an important concept.
Please explain to me how the removal of context makes something more intellectually stimulating. This postmodern trend does nothing but add "or is it??!" to every sentence and unnecessarily elongates discussions of creative works into circular patterns that can never be resolved. If I accept that the author was attempting to get an idea across then we can examine their life and values and gain insight into why a work is the way it is. We can discover the truth of its intent.
...but art classes need content all semester long. If you can reach a definitive description of a work of art taking into account what the author says their intent was, its difficult for a lesser professor to think of curricula to fill the time they're being paid for. If you can get the students to accept that there will never be any concrete definition or context backing up a work's inception, then you can have those university students arguing indefinitely.
No one is invalidated, but nobody is right.
The result is what you see in the OP here. Yes, it's tacitly aping the style of certain older games, but it is wildly inconsistent. The most glaring problem being mixels, or the use of multiple sizes of block to form pixel art. This gives the image a sense of haphazardness that can work to achieve certain emotional reactions, but on the whole is generally distracting and confounds the eye rather than conveying information about the characters quickly, as is necessary for the proper design of a video game wherein you want players to be aware of what's going on. More of this inconsistency can be seen in the animations, which are amatuerishly done and have no accounting for the 12 facets of animation which have been established thoroughly through study of motion in the real world. There is no sense of weight, no anticipation, no reaction, and the inconsistent pixel sizes end up making it look like an incoherent, spastic mess.
And the reaction we got for disliking it? "You evil nazi goobergrapes just DON'T UNDERSTAND MY ART ;-;"
Reactions like that are the direct result of ideologies like death of the author. But if it's such an important idea, okay, here we go: The images in the OP illustrate the disgusting nature of protesters and their chaotic, inconsistent lifestyles, as conveyed by mixed pixel size and jerky animation.
Now you and I both know that isn't true. We know from the context of this thread and its title that he wishes to raise awareness of police brutality in the hopes of having a meaningful theme for his art/game. Your "Death of the Author" mindset, though, means that what he wants doesn't matter. If he learned more about animation and had a consistent style he could create art that we might be able to identify with more easily as human beings, but he doesn't have to in your worldview. He can just do whatever and some people will interpret thing s the way he wants while others won't.
The sticking point here is that you seem to think we need to be told what is and is not art, while simultaneously insisting that art can be anything. Yes, they would recognize Fountain as a work of art from records. From records. Because even millenia in the future, you would only think that was a work of art because someone TOLD YOU it was art.
Humans have been making art forever. We instinctively know what it is, and we can tell when it's off kilter. The body of knowledge and experience we have built up over the millenia into the fundamentals of art were hard-won through trial and error by our ancestors, and postmodern art philosophies spit allover their struggles and discoveries in the name of making money. Why honor their memory and study technique when you can profit from a cheap piece of manufacturing that you can sell for millions when you put an "Art!" sticker on it.
These ideologies are killing our society.

The idea of the death of the author isn't that the intent is unimportant. Obviously it's interesting, it adds richness to the work, etc. It just means that the author's intent has no bearing on the actual meaning of a thing. I can say, "Poop farts soggy waffles" means "I love you," but that doesn't say anything substantial about the meaning of the words, and indeed, most people would disagree with me that the phrase means this. (Rightly so, I think.) Language is an agreement.
You could say what is or is not art is an agreement, and roughly, that's true. But it's not the end of it, either.
It's not merely academics keeping themselves working. That might have something to do with it, but you can't simply step backward in time and pretend all the philosophical and scientific advancements of the last century didn't happen.
You can use your set of criteria to rate OP's work. And you should. Most people agree with those criteria, and are probably going to say, "I don't like this." But that's all you can say. According to a set of criteria, it is not of high quality. Now those may be criteria that are near universal... (Though they aren't still.) But that still says nothing fundamental about the nature of what is good or bad. There is nothing wrong with not having a fundamental good or bad, either. Such things are value judgments, and only have meaning by being affirmed rather than proven logically.
As for OP creating something we can identify with, does it matter? If we don't like it, we don't like it. Maybe someone else will. Why do you need to like it? I don't get it. Let it be shit in your eyes, but not universal shit. Just... mostly something that is agreed on as shit.
As far as Fountain being a work of art or not, that "feeling" you talk about when something is off-kilter... I get a LOT of pleasure from Fountain, personally. It's a big fuck you to elitist prigs everywhere. A big fuck you to the art world as a whole. I like off-kilter. Why is your aesthetic of not enjoying that which is off-kilter somehow superior to mine? Does it bother you that I genuinely like noise music, too?
It's not saying "it's just as good" or "all things are equal" or "all things deserve our respect." All of those things are deeply untrue. But grow a backbone. Stand up for yourself and your opinion. Rather than feeling like you need to fall back on some universal. Say you don't like something because of the mixels, the jerky animation, the colors, the style. That is SO much more useful and descriptive than saying something is objectively shit. One is intelligent, shows effort, and is useful for others who also want to evaluate. The other is childish bitching and school marm moralfaggotry.
That ideology is killing our society.

I would argue that art is a form of communication through less concrete means than language. I don't disagree with you 100%.

This is the point that makes us so mad, really. Most of us here can agree from just our gut reactions that it's shit. We would very much like to see things that aren't widely regarded as shitty. Anonymous boards means that your gut reaction is what comes out first. When our gut reactions were out of the way, did he give us the chance to explain our position or offer ways to make his work less shitty (in the opinion of others)? No, he immediately assumed that we were evil GroppyGlapers and we had it out for him.
Things like Fountain and that disgusting vagina painting shit make me angry not because they are off-kilter or using taboo materials, but because they are constantly hailed as works of genius by half the public. Hell, even if someone made a sculpture of a urinal out of other urinals I wouldn't mind since some effort went into it. The art itself isn't what makes me mad. It's that some guy can scribble his name on it and have people like you waxing poetic about it for paragraphs on end (to equally pretentious and bored people like me).
It doesn't make me angry that you enjoy noise music. What would make me angry would be if you liked that one song that was just one big pause. There's an album of remixes of that silence on iTunes.
Things like that make it evident to me that meaning isn't what's going on there. It's money. Manipulation of public taste so that lower effort shit can still be used to make mountains of cash.

Yeah, the defense was a little odd, but admittedly you guys provided little constructive criticism. It's a chan ofc. Don't be surprised if he reacts that way either.
Half the public doesn't like Fountain, Warhol or what have you. Almost everyone universally hates modern art. Not to draw too big a stroke here, but most people hate classic literature, too. The comparison is offensive in many ways, since so much modern art really is garbage. But it just goes to show that public agreement is judged differently by different people, and also not the final say in whether something is objectively of high quality.
>>22559
Not a fan either. I used it to invoke... well, your reaction. To further a discussion. Mostly to be a cunt. I don't think it's great art. I also use it in a TF2 spray so it sprang to mind. One frame says 9/11 Didn't Happen in the TF2 font. Then it fades when you get close to the diamond skull.

Are you aware of the fact that most of what is perceived as "police brutality" is the cops retaliating to people's violence? They are there to maintain security, not serve as sandbags for emotional retards.
And this shit phenomenon that is blaming everything on cops in the west and yurop is widespread by cucks such as you who have the intellectual maturity and critical thought abilities of a dishwasher.
Have you ever taken the time to actually inform yourself further about the happenings you hear about and not just gobble the stupid bullshit the journos and social media vomit in your mouth?
BLM breaking shit and hurting people everywhere they protest to and having the gall to moan when they get hit back? The french "casseurs" who again wreak havoc while blending into the crowd and then let the cops retaliate on other people at most protests? English, swedish and german natives attacking gunless cops when these attempt to arrest muslim criminals? No, better blame the fucking cops, afterall, WE liberals are in the right! And these are just a few examples.
>yes, i have just as much right to use this board as anyone else. no, your not going to stop me.
Just as much as we have the right to call cancer by it's name when encountering it.
Oh and let's talk about your "game":
>Noodle limbs
>Flat, unshaded colors with terrible palette choice
>Mixels (scaled pixels on a high-resolution window, no respect for the grid, inconsistent pixel dimensions, and in some cases ROTATED FUCKING PIXELS)
No art direction whatsoever nor knowledge of what pixel art is, proving once again that you only care about the message, not the game's quality. Pretentious indieshit at it's finest.
>Terrible animations, not respecting any of the 12 principles
>Fucked up proportions (Oh and don't tell me it's because of the "artstyle" you chose, it is crystal clear that you chose it because you desperately want to hide your lack of skill behind it)
>Hit registers as soon as your attack animation starts, proving that you have no understanding of how beat'em up attack mechanics work (startup active recovery)
Zero skills and too lazy to hone them up before developing. But it's about the message, not the product, huh? :^)

Most western europe countries bathe in anti-cop propaganda and yet we still agree on one thing : Burgers are extremely stupid.
The millenials are even worse. They have been raised in an environment where they never face any responsibility for their acts, where they are entitled to every boon in life, and where everything leads them to believe they are the center of the world.
This leads to young people and voters being so dumb and narcissistic they aren't even capable of critical thought and never dare questioning themselves or their stance, thus giving weight and reach to the propaganda they swallow all day long.
But a place where nignogs get shot for no reason? Absolutely not. A place overrun with intersectional cucks, and where cops get bullied (except of course when they protect you or save your lives, then you suddenly bend over and suck their cocks like nothing happened)? You bet.

Oh and another fun little detail for you: Using the term People of Color is actually racist. By doing that you are referring to them not by the color of their skin, but by what they are not, that is white-skinned, defining them by their difference instead of what they are. People of color = people who are not white, as white isn't a color. This tells that "PoC" and white people aren't equal by your views. Conclusion? Be it either way, you are the racist one here.
I don't want to sage, so I'm still going to talk about your game:
Clouds are supposed to be high up in the sky, too high up to make their height difference easily discernible. The sky pattern is too thin, making it a repetitive eyesore (looping is good but has to be discrete). Doors are too small for your character proportions. Everything makes no sense.
Wait a minute lemme look at the sky again
ARE YOU REALLY USING AUTO GRADIENTS IN A FUCKING PIXELART GAME
You are reuniting every fucking indieshit stereotype. If this is bait, it's fucking caviar. Otherwise you are the worst kind of retard.

While the spritework is pretty poor and the concept borders on offensive, you're all getting pretty fucking riled up over this. We have had our fair deal of shitty retro graphics (I know Risk of Rain looked much better than this shit, but it's the perfect example of "retro pixel graphics never looked like this" that's being mentioned around) and nobody has been triggered this much over it. I mean, people are genuinely enraged to the point some people seem to be blinded by their own fury. This is ridiculous.
I mean, so much for "games are about mechanics", and people here in this thread consider the game to be its ideology and its art. It's true that OP hasn't posted much about his actual game (which may signal some actual serious top level baiting), but I am not sure how the fuck did this post manage to get 100 replies despite being so shit; actual good games in /agdg/ don't get this many replies, and shit games definitely don't get anywhere near this amount of attention.
I am just going to ask you to calm the fuck down. Some people are starting not to make any sense, this amount of salt is just mind-blowingly ridiculous. Reflect on yourselves: would you be so mad about this "game" if it was about a nazi SS soldier smacking down Jews down the street? I mean, same game, just with recolorings of some sprites. I guess the dev would get some spare posts commenting on how horrible the game looks, but nowhere near this amount of pure unadulterated rage. Basically, you are just triggered that this game offended you just like the nazi game would be offensive if it was posted in tumblr. Really, calm the fuck down, I thought we were supposed to hold the moral high ground in this regard.
tl;dr congratulations, you got yourself caught! What's the next step of your master plan?

Controversy generates activity.
What made me roast this degenerate were two reasons. First, the amount of dishonest laziness coming from this faggot, present in the work and thoughts he put into his project. Lack of direction, lack of research, lack of thought, lack of skills (always grind them to a minimum before making anything you wish to publish), and on top of that the shoehorning of political views put in top priority before anything else in the game, virtue-signaling like crazy.
Second, the response to the negative criticism he received. Being a total nodev and a newfag is ok, but doubling down on stupidity and calling people harassers, goofy goobers and racist for disliking his game and political views makes him deserve all the flak he gets for his behaviour.
I can only speak for myself, but I can understand why the other anons are incinerating him. Such attitude is insulting to any hard-working, honest dev out there.

oh fuck off with the "le ebin bait!!!" i dont know what you think games are supposed to be about but this is 2016 not 1992. fun does not mean repetitively shooting dots at 5 gazillion copies of the same enemy. im sorry if your a dinosaur or something but thats not fun to anyone anymore. meaningful stories and characters are fun. fixing culture is fun. making people aware of how shitty they are so they can become better is fun. but i get why your so butthurt, it must be really aggravating to see someone whos using "a baby game engine for retards" (nice ableism btw) doing more than you huh? lets see your latest game? nah nevermind your banned from my thread, go spout your logical fallacies on kotaku in action, byeeeeeee

No offense, but you've got some massively unwarranted self importance the way you're acting.
Anyways, while I appreciate your spirit and determination in wanting to make a game/stand your ground, you really shouldn't be acting like you're making a magnum opus that'd "improve" the community, making AMAs and all that. You're not Tim Schafer. You're not Brianna Wu or whoever the Hell you idolize.
On first glance, most people would see a hilariously unpolished turd from the sprites alone.
I also find it hilariously hypocritical that your game preaches against police brutality while your main protagonist goes around violently smashing her Hammer/Axe/lazily drawn sign at police men minding their own business.
Friendly advice: Don't say you're using drag and drop or Gamemaker. It shows how shitty and new you are to this. If you're legitimately interested in making a game, learn coding.
One more thing: Stop being a tumblr faggot that gives a shit about ableism, uses words like gross as if you were 5 years old, etc. We here honestly don't give 2 shits about it, and nobody here likes an agenda pushing faggot.

Nobody here said that you fucking faggot.
Fun is actual gameplay, mechanics and shit. Being able to be invested in the world the game takes place in. It doesn't need:
>meaningful stories and characters
This is just a major bonus and selling point that attracts people.
Honestly though, seeing
>fixing culture is fun
>making people aware of how shitty they are
makes me (and many others) see you as some agenda pushing bitch that doesn't give two shits about making a fun, enjoyable experience, but only to "fix" and guilt anyone who happens to buy/take the shit you peddle like a Jehova's witness or some shit.

>its known as a place where PoC cant even go without expecting to be shot for no reason
Almost 9 million people are arrested annually, a good portion of them black, and only a few hundred, rightly or wrongly, have been killed by the police in the process.
White people are killed too, at nearly the same numbers that blacks are relative to their crime rate. I'm sure you knew that already though. You're not some kind of hypocrite that gets emotionally invested in the 3 to 5 cases of police brutality that the media "exposes" each year in a country of 330 million people, are you? The number of people killed by police are statistically insignificant and not surprising considering the environment they are trained to work in.

>Any asian or nig can go outside and walk around, as long as he isn't committing any crime he won't be shot.
In 99% of cases (8,730,665 arrests, 1146 deaths - the plurality of which being justified) this is true, even if they are arrested for committing a crime.

Made a few mistakes with this post i.e. the "rightly or wrongly" should just be wrongly, and of course I'd pick an image featuring a year when just over 9 million arrests were made to say "almost 9 million people are arrested annually", and then cite more recent data in the end where there weren't quite 9 million arrests. Christ. Anyway, you get my point I hope.

how about just stop telling me what to do and then we gucci
idc if you think fun is "actual gameplay". "actual gameplay" is for mountain dew chugging manbabies and thats fine if thats what you are i guess, keep fighting the man
so why should i go through all the trouble of learning something like coding when the tools are available to make a great game without it. waste of time
again holy shit like how hard is it for you to understand this
i hate programmers who are elitists about coding. have fun spending 4+ years working on some shitty game that you never finish?oh but thats cool all that matters is that its made in unreal engine and features "actual gameplay" haha
by the way everyone is "pushing an agenda." do you have an opinoin about my agenda? ok then your pushing an agenda & theres no difference at all

Hi,
I'm the head developer of the #BlackLivesMatter game mentioned above. I received an email from someone about
the game and its art being used by someone for a different game about police brutality. I had a feeling I knew who the person was going to turn out to be, and I'm sorry to say my suspicions were correct.
The characters posted on this page were drawn by our other developer during a gamejam event last year which is where this person here got them from. The person who posted them here was a part of our gamejam group, but is NOT a part of our development team for our BLM game, and she does not have the legal right to use them in any other game. Our game is, of course, a BLM/activist satire, not a game about police brutality.

No you don't. While it exists, copyright doesn't require a formal "license" of any sort to actually be enforced and is considered to be in effect when a work is affixed in a tangible medium. He will need to register it formally in the event that he actually sues you.

Unfortunately neither of us is in the USA so things might work a bit differently here.
To the developer: I have no idea what the law comes down to. But for the record, you and everyone else in the MGJ group knows that you had no part in helping create that art or any other part of the game. Correct me if I'm wrong but you simply sat several feet away from the rest of the group never contributing anything. Now, a year later, when you heard that we were turning it into a full game, you decided NOT to work with us even though you were invited, but decided instead to make a game about almost the same thing we're making our game about, using the same art assets?
No, I guess I can't stop you from using them because I'm not going to sue you or something. We have the original photoshop animations and everything else just for the record. I would have preferred that you contacted one of us on Skype instead of me having to find out about this here. It's clear you don't want to be civil about it, and that's fine. Best of luck in whatever it is you're trying to do, but I don't think you'll get very far treating colleagues like this.
