Quote:Original post by intrest86I tend to agree. In my mind polished isn't simply the act of using high quality assets, but of using the right assets and making sure they all fit together smoothly. A game with only stick figures or coloured blocks can still be very polished in spite of the excellent graphics.
If the point of your game is us[e]r created content, and users cannot actually create content, then does it really make sense to call it "polished" anymore?
So in the case of your examples I think you could consider the game to be more polished if they either a) provided simpler (but still good quality) graphics that thier community would more easily be able to replicate, or b) provided better tools to more easily allow thier community to create graphics which matched the style and quality of those that already existed.
