Dimpy Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 So I've been hearing a lot of work is being put into the graphics of 7dtd. As someone who is used to running games on low setting, does more realistic graphics = more fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quyxkh Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Arguing over what labels to hang on parts of it strikes me as a bit off the mark. There's the loop(s) and the rewards. If they work together, the result's a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from a creator's perspective, you want your work to be seen as exemplary in all ways. It is in the best interest of TFP for their game to receive high marks in graphics, coding, fun-factor, replayability, moddability, etc. Think of it as gymnastics or diving-- Scores are greatly affected by technical prowess and degree of difficulty and not just how fun the routine or dive was. TFP want players to have fun but they also want their peers in their field to respect what they were able to do graphically in a voxel world. They want to optimize the game for the players but they also want to hear from people in the industry praise about their code. They want best marks in all areas of their creation. Besides, for every person who will give a game a chance regardless of how it looks graphically and appreciate it's fun-factor without regard to its aesthetics, there are ten or more others who won't touch it if is visually displeasing.

ZombieSurvivor Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 So I've been hearing a lot of work is being put into the graphics of 7dtd.

My brother started playing 7D2D in A16 and he had a potato PC. once he upgraded, not by much i might add, he felt the game was a lot more fun with better graphics. Iny my personal opinion, for this game better graphics will help immerse the player in the game. I think we all would agree the more immersive a game is the more fun it can be. This type of zombie game is much more fun the more believable it looks IMO. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmer Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Graphics are like the ice cream on the pie. If the pie is great, you don't need a scoop of vanilla on top to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, but if you want a good dessert and the ice-cream-and-pie is good, that's what it is: good. Terraria would be a lot less fun with crappy art and no music. Spelunky wouldn't be the same without that walking sound and even the intro sequence. Even minecraft would be hurt if they took the music out. There's damn few games that don't rely on art and music to get you in the mood and keep you there. Games that don't need graphics at all? Nethack. Dwarf Fortress. Go. Chess. Poker. Bridge.

Games that don't need graphics at all? ...Poker. My group plays poker with a vintage deck of Hustler playing cards, so Imma have to disagree with you there. The ten of clubs in that deck can break any man's poker face if you know what I mean and I think you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampirenostra Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 would say graphics are more than sufficient for this game. it is the gameplay making this game awesome not the graphics... and yes I still play might and magic 6-8 from time to time and some older games as doom2 and etc... call me oldfag...
