Because the random arcade game was still AA/AAA of the time with at least 30 devs while left is a solo game.
>>
>>729214837
Undertale's simplicity is its strength.
Everything on the left is immediately identifiable, zero clutter or unnecessary detail. The characters have distinct designs and silhouettes and stand out from the background, just detailed enough to have personality but simple enough for anyone to draw.

>>729214837
You've been making these threads for longer than Undertale's time of development. If you spent your time actually working on a craft, then you could make your own game with good pixel art.

Undertale, or whatever it's called, was worked on by a group of 18 people, according to its own wiki.
>>
>>729215635
That's deltarune.
Undertale had Toby doing pretty much everything, Temmie making some art assets, and some backer rewards designing some monsters.

Toby Fox is one of the OG Earthbound autists. So it looks like Earthbound. Also you cannot go by arcades because Splatterhouse 88 looks nothing like the Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti game later released on NES. Arcades used to be the graphical peak.

I think limits do push developers to do better. The only modern limit I can think of is budget now. Also why lump furries in? They are too big to fall now as evidenced by Zootopia 2. Seriously why are they always so wealthy.

For Metal Slug, as an arcade game, SNK had to fully commit to visual spectacle in order to catch the eyes of kids roaming arcades so they'd pay to play their games instead of other arcade games, thus Metal Slug's gorgeous sprite work was born.
For Undertale, Toby didn't have to give a shit because he already had established fans who would slurp up anything he produced from the MOTHER and Homestuck fandoms, and everyone else getting hooked based on the subversive premise of Undertale or the furbait characters (and then in addition the Tumblr Sexyman Archetype characters) was a quaint bonus.
>>
>>729217923
If you booted up the game at least once then you would have know the programmer didn't do the soundtrack because the fucking composer has his own splash screen when you start up the game...

Zero Ranger and Devil Engine arguably look better than the arcade game on the right. Undertale's style just sucks ass because it's another minimalist indie that's supposed to have 'charm'.

It's not even a terribly designed game and has some good ideas. This trannoid visual design mentality is just unforgivable.

>>
>>729216967
Troony Fox simply lacks talent at everything. Even his music is just the three same leitmotifs over and over and over and over and over again with slightly changed instruments. Not in a way where they're properly implemented as leitmotifs into original incidental pieces, every single piece is derivative from another which makes it sound awful
And the writing is bad as well. What a talentless hack, hiding behind Earthbound like Alex YIIK.

I think it's actually a reference to the game Off. (Sans is also a reference to the judge car shown here that I think is inspired by the Cheshire cat), but off takes place in some kind of metaphysical plane while undertale takes place in a cave you see the player fall into at the start of the game.

You're exceedingly correct. Undertale abounds with references to OFF. Even setting aside Papyrus being designed off Dedan, Sans being Zacharie and the Judge smashed together into one character, and Chara being a child version of Sugar, the whole concept of the Genocide route is basically a reimagining of OFF, purifying the world and leaving it empty in your wake.

>>729224019
That's right. It's actually pretty painfully derivative in that sense. When the demo came out the big thing about the game was that characters remembered what you did in previous saves.

It was a novel concept at the time but didn't end up in the final game except for just the sans fight if you lose. I guess that would be a lot more work to program though.
