Reamping the graphics?

[chovynz]

You gameplay > graphics ELITISTS need to get over yourselves. If someone has already done the work what is the harm in updating Disco/any mod to look a little nicer?

Nicer graphics can increase immersion which can increase gameplay value.

Stop being so haughty.

I don't know about others, but I know I'm not being elitist. That has nothing to do with the discussion.

1). We cannot just take from Crossfire/Shattered Worlds or other mods, the work that other developers have done. There have been criticisms levelled at Disco for "killing" other mods. If we take the hard work THEY have done to upgrade OUR mod, then we validate those claims. It is better to do the work ourselves, IF the developers so choose to go that way into graphics.

2). Gameplay will win over graphics everytime in the long run. There does come a point where graphics needs to be improved, however it's usually not a good idea to improve it all at once. Also do remember that comparisions make for great discontent. Disco is not X3, is not Shattered Worlds, is not Halo. If you are so interested in playing a sparkly game go play one.

3). You need to remember that developers are volunteers, they don't get paid. NOBODY in this Dev team gets paid to upgrade Disco. To put this kind of pressure and comments

You gameplay > graphics ELITISTS need to get over yourselves.

on them is completely unfair. They put a heap of work into the Disco already.

4). Again I repeat, if you want good graphics so badly, then upgrade your skills, and join the developing team, with your focus on graphics. The entire Disco community might appreciate it. Different developers have different focuses, and each person can contribute in their own way. Jinx has amazing arguments for and against things and brings to light many problems that can then be worked out. Frozen is a hitbox king. Treewyrm is working on nomads, but along the way has found concave and convex problems that have since been solved. Igiss spots coding bugs and other things. Silent works on graphics. Seth works on sounds and other things.

If you want better graphics, then YOU focus on graphics and join the development of Disco. It's that simple.
