You don't think Au Sable looks good?

No, I think it's pretty mediocre (but I've seen worse), I would only say there's a good use of colors.  It's not because it's pixellated or aliased, as I recognize the aesthetism in old games & even in Cave Story.
I'd understand if you said it looks good.. compared to other indie games, though.

I should hope so, it's well designed, especially visually.

(thank god no money is going into art games.. yet oh wait I remember a popular art game that has been sponsored by my own country )

I just wished art games would go where art is, in special galleries where they wouldn't annoy anyone.
I don't even understand why it's only now that we're being attacked by snobs. I mean, surely a crap Garfield that disappears when you press ctrl could have existed 20 years ago (ok maybe 20 years ago that crap would have looked more like a game). Is it because snobs are now praising each other, or because programming tools have been dumbed down so much that retards can now use them to express what they should have kept for themselves?

And really, I shouldn't mind, but all that buzz around shit games is like spitting on the face of those who have put work in their games.

Yeah! Art games don't make any money. And no one puts any work into them at all! We should lock them in a fancy box so we don't have to feel anxiety when they get posted to the TIGS frontpage. :D

/Massive amounts of sarcasm.

Edit: Seriously guys, why all the hate?

Edit: Seriously guys, why all the hate?

No hate from me. 100% pure Jealousy.
Last game I made, was loved by several critics but I'm shit at marketing and got no publicity. (To be fair I'm sure some players hated it for being too hard also)
I'm making another game. It's been stamped as awesome by those who have played it but it'll probably pan and I'll make no money again.

Yeah. Just Jealousy

Good question bento, makes little sense to me either. I'd rather just tell people why I don't think the game is effective than try and attack the entire concept.

[Hangedman]

Ignoring all the fallacies and terrible generalizations about art games, we are left with the conclusion that anything not mainstream is supposedly bad?

Whoops, that's a terrible generalization too.

Well, so it goes.
