What

This has only a little to do with this awful project. It's more of a discussion of what exactly makes a game outright AWFUL. Like Magnus Awful. So awful we laugh. So here's a listing of things that irritate me that Newbie developers always seem to do.

-Include Sephiroth in the game as either a playable character or a "secret" boss. Usually the only secret part is how to beat him as the developers make every attack of his a one hit kill.
-Leave out important NPC animations. Left and right walking animations seem to be the favorites.
-Make all the heroes only palette swaps of eachother
-There's always at least one hero with a whole bunch of powerful sounding spells, usually enough to totally fill out his spell list. The downside is that none of them do any more damage than a normal attack, most are missing animations altogether, and all totally lack any uniqueness to them.
-Airbrush!
-Lensflare!
-Gradients!
-Every game rips the same battle music from FF6. This is a universal constant.
-Include documention for features in the game that don't even exist.

Intriguing. Lense flares?

That makes almost anything terrible.

My game has some airbrush, but I try to make it conspicious. I'm assuming you mean painfully obviously airbrushed.

No.

He means using any airbrush at all.

Airbrush can be bad practice, but you need it for discontiunity on certain textures.

Firstly, when posting try to form complete sentances. "huh" or "eee" or any number of one word responses and posts are in general looked down upon heavily, even by forum newbies.

Secondly, make sure your posts make sense. If you're getting responses from PHC or Moogle, or Shadowiii, or any number of other people telling you that you make no sense, it's probably because you don't.
