What is everyone's opinion of using RPG Maker resources in games you make yourself with your own code or engine?
I have contacted the artists of First Seed Material, better known as Mack Blue, and they said that they will allow you to use their graphics in any game reguardless of RPG Maker.
I think that sometimes you just don't have the resources to hire an artist or draw all the graphics yourself, and using pre-made graphics is a quick way to get a head start on your project. But it seems that people can tell right away its RPG Maker graphics and automatically judge your work poorly or associate it as being an RPG Maker game.
I realize that trying to sell or monetize a game using ripped or even RPG Maker graphics may be hard. And it could even make your game lack a unique graphical style.
What do you all think?
