That has literally nothing to do with what I'm saying and what he is arguing with me about. Most of the updates don't involve sprites the vast majority of the character content IS entire drawings like the ones I posted.
Is that even true? It actually IS the time consuming nature of 2D art based on the level of detail in these drawings and the length each update is. Bloat is just another word for longer updates on a difficult and time consuming medium. Have any of you drawn 400-800 highly detailed scenes before like this? I know people who work in animation. For one person to output that much in a year or two is actually crazy. Let's put it this way if you worked every single day of the year and drew one scene you would just barely make 400. Now this girl is raising a newborn child, probably working 5 days a week and there are 260 weekdays in a year not including days off for sickness or whatever. That means she would need at least three scenes like this to keep pace:

Which btw, this scene a alone would take hours to do even with the most skilled artists. The time actually makes sense.
