Is ok to suck at art if you're an indiedev but you can focus on original and new gameplay?I mean, some fan must be able to join later and replace your shitty art, right, right?

you've made a faulty assumption in saying that indie devs can think of new and original gameplay

Sprite art is the easiest art I can think of outside of MS Paint doodles.

If you have a something down its easier to get art for it later yes.

If you can make a legitimately good game, people who aren't miserable assholes going out of their way to find things to be mad about will enjoy it.

/v/ will call it "pixelshit" and not play it though.

/v/ made fun of my pixelshit game that I only made like that because I suck at graphics and don't want to deal with prima donna artists, so I learned 3D and now I've grown more powerful than ever.

Yes it's fine, and no your game doesn't need to be original or new. It just has to be good.

Do what you want, put your game out, stop coming to forums for validation. You move, people follow. I give my support to any dev that enters the industry. You've put up sprites that are servicable and good. Make your game, don't engage on forums until you are done, unless you're looking for tips in a dev thread.

Get moving, make your thing, because if it turns out to be good, I will play it. That's all you have to concern yourself with.

Keep it up, and don't give a SHIT about what people say.

If you're planning on charging money for that, kill yourself. If not, eh, go right ahead.

So many good games out the window

I mean yes, technically you can have a good game in spite of awful art. But it's never something people entirely overlook, "this game's really fun but you have to get over it looking like pixelized throw up"

So while you can overcome it, it's another hurdle that your gameplay/whatever has to prop up.

Personally I don't pay for 2D games.

But what others are saying; if you want to use this to learn/improve as well as gain a fan following, then its acceptable to have shit art (all devs make shit games at first). If you want money, then you'll have to hire other people- you can't guarantee that your game will have a fan following in the first place, or just happen to have 1 fan that you can rely on to mod your game. And on top of that, you'll probably have to get connections so you can end up with e-celebs making shill vids for the game.

There's a difference between recognizing your limitations in aesthetic presentation and using what you can, and trying to proclaim yourself as a master of both.

Unfortunately people that lack the capacity to self reflect usually are inadequate at both.
