If someone says their indie game is retro and their screenshots shows Tandy era SIERRA quality background/sprites with variable pixel size I get mad. Bonus tard points for lighting and pixel shader effects, real time image resizing*, etc.
Rant of the day.
*scaling gets a pass if your retro game has NeoGeo quality graphics. It doesn't even need to be Metal Slug quality-like, hell even Success Joe would be enough. But of course almost no indie "retro" games are that good looking
