Custom Sprites?

[MCADAMS]

I've been looking at a lot of Eclipse games lately and most of them have custom sprites. I currently map and use the sprites from Eclipse 2.7 on Eclipse Origins. I really like the graphics and I think I can do a lot with them but they seem to be frowned upon. I don't have any experience making sprites and resources so it would be hard to make custom ones but then again I don't want to be demeaned for using pre-made sprites. Any suggestions?

If you have the time and passion to learn - Practice pixel art yourself.
If you have the money and the will to pay - Pay someone
If you have other skills and are able to establish a great game design document - Show people and look to recruit a spriter
If your a novice and just want to practice game development - Use RMXP or such.

So I shouldn't use RMXP in beta testing/the actual game?

What?

When I finish my game and want to release it, should I use custom sprites rather than RXMP ones?

[Dark Crusade]

If you finish your game you should already have whatever sprites you chose to use/ made

Right but I mean would it be ok to use RXMP sprites if I pulled it off really nicely? Do you think people would care or just immediately turn away from the game because I didn't use custom ones?

The second one.

I for one would never play a game made with RMXP ever.

its nothing on the engine, its the graphics. try to distinguish your thoughts more clearly. you may confuse someone less intelligent, lol

using RMXP sprites and tiles is also illegal, so you might run into some problems there…

No it's not, it's legal distribution as long as it's not commercial. Read some documents. :\

[Chakkra]

Either way it's still highly disliked by many people here.

Only legal distribution if you're using them with the RMXP program.

There are plenty of tilesets released in the resources board. Try picking up some breeze themed tiles.
