Question about the Graphics (hands/legs of people)

[A Friend]

Circle hands? Maybe. Feet? Nope, that would just look extremely silly and Rayman.

The majority of us don't really have any problem with the art style and thinks it suits the game and wonky graphics are far and few in between. The best that I can suggest for improvement is cleaning up certain textures and adding more flashy effects. I seriously doubt an art overhaul is ever going to happen. Why fix something that's not broken?

Project Zomboid's graphical quality is debatable but I got to say, I really like the DF one. Is that vanilla? Haven't played it in years.

Nope, read the article. It's a massive mod that is the result of years of work.

That's a separate program that runs alongside DF. There's a lot of little programs like that. This is what DF looks like with a graphical mod. Those are zombies charging down my entrance passageway.

Gentz, by Triple A graphics, do you mean that when we see them, we'll go "AAA!" because that would be apt, IMHO.

Nope, that's AAA as in 3 dead alligators all in a row! Or maybe an anaconda, an alligator, and an aardvark all got their final comeuppance with one mighty swing of some legendary silver hammer named "NakedGristle" that menaced with spikes of turkey leather.

On the serious side, from all the "Let's Plays" I've watched so far, I love the graphics just how they are. Can't wait to scoop this up on Steam as soon as possible.

I men't Vinnila DF. I just couldn't stand memorizing letters so I got the starter pack with thier tileset thingys.

I don't say, i don't like Rimworld graphics at all, it could be worse and hands are not thaaaat important.
If you take a look at the images/textures of the game, the quality is very diffrent, from very good quality (wood texture) to very low (most animals, players and on).
I would like to get some official answer about this, will the team work on the graphics (player and on) or not?

There's actually 1 Artist I'm pretty sure, there's no team for it, so I doubt the player graphics will be worked on anymore.

I think thier's 2, one for the small stuff (pawns, buildings, ect) and another for the big stuff (storyteller port rates, main menu thingy, ect)

Not sure if that's sarcasm, or if you seriously agree with me.

Oh well.

I recall Tynan once mentioning that he wants to leave some things up to our imagination, just like reading a book, you get rudimentary info about a person, in Rimworlds case skin color, haircut, body build, various ailments etc... and I think the same applies to actions, e.g. your grower harvests some corn, what you see is him standing there, the plant vanishes and to his side appears a stack of corn, but in your head you may see how he plucks each corn cob and puts it in a basket.

Some people might argue this is just lazy programming/animation, but I kinda like that imagination idea, and I think it would look very goofy when pawns suddenly get arms and legs.

I came here pretty much to say exactly that. It's supposed to be a story telling game, I'd rather imagine something awesome to fill in the blanks, than have everything filled in for me. I think the current graphics, limited as they are, do quite well in that regard. They give enough expression to tell a story, but not so much as to stifle the imagination.

That said, I do agree with a couple of posters up, the assets that are there are sometimes of mixed styles/resolutions/quality, which can be immersion breaking. Particularly a switch in perspective that happens for some items is bugging me.

Actually agreeing, as I didn't know. I was pretty sure a different artist did the storyteller art then in-game, but that was all I knew.

While I don't mind it staying the way it is right now, It surely would add a lot of depth if it was possible to see how many limbs the colonists have left. Plus imagine the new sprites people could create for bionics etc.
