discussion Animation VS Stills in Games

[Deity]

Animations are great and help elevate poorer art. I think 3D art (Koikatsu etc) is a good way to get easy animations.

Animations are great, but pixel art holds a special place in my heart. I still remember some pixel rpg games that had some scenes that were happening by just moving around. Damn, I miss that. And I never found the game again.

Animations are nice especially with nice sfx on its background, it makes me think that the text in these games would not be too tedious
Don't get me wrong, great writing is still great. But having visual always beat having to read sound effect when I was supposed to read the story

I would much rather prefer high quality images over janky 3fps loops.
I've seen way to many devs try to squeeze in the "animations" tag by just adding extremely poorly done ones within their game
