Yeah, I hijacked the thread. I have nothing more to say to you.

Knytt is popular and has no gameplay and very basic, Paint like graphics.
Cave Story limits its palette, jerky animations, basic effects etc and is also quite popular.
La Mulana looks terribly dated and is popular.
(I don't really play many indie games so my experience is limited mmkay )
Whilst these aren't horrible they're certainly not as pretty as what some people here can churn out. I think the reason why there isn't a good game with library graphics is because it's new people who use them, people who aren't going to know the ins and outs of making a good game. Could be a good idea for a comp though - make something decent with library graphics .
I only used library graphics once for my very first game. I personally have nothing against them: they are great for people who aren't very good spritists, or just want to test a gameplay concept or something, but I just really enjoy making my own graphics and effects (with the event Editor).

This is Koji. Copy and paste Koji to your sig so he can acheive world domination.
i suppose they're ok if you need graphics NOW but when it's later you should be looking into customs
you may be able to get away with using them if you use them well or edit the hell out of them, but if most people won't even touch your game the instant they see library graphics in your screenshots, well...
