  You can make your own too.

  Also dont look for sprites on the community section of that site, just use the main site:

  there has been a huge amount of money thrown at studying how to get people to spend money, and using .99 is effective. It's not scummy. It works. Companies wouldn't do it so much otherwise.

  Hilarious, if you think manipulating people in order to get them to pay you more money is not scummy then you're a fool. Companies usually couldn't care less if they're tricking the person into buying their product that's why they have marketing people. Farmville is the perfect example, their goal is to farm the player's money as much as possible. "I'm not going to treat you as a normal human being because I know I'll make more money off you this way".

  I guess it comes down to an issue of respect, do you respect your players as intelligent people? Or do you just view them as a money resource who you should manipulate so you can make profits from them?

  Anyone have any ideas for making a random name generator? Not sure how I'd do it. I don't mind if the names sound stupid, as long as they're readable (not something like "Dfftbm").

  Thanks Rojo! That helps a lot, hopefully it won't affect performance much.

  When you use a zoom, the plasma object goes really small or something weird.

  Here's a cap:

  Run it and press any key.

  With the project tab/bar you're able to sort your objects into folders and it makes finding the right object to place much easier. However, you can't drag and drop objects from the project bar onto the layout? I prefer not to use the object bar since it's not as organised and it always starts up with large icons (making it even more annoying to find the right object to place).

  I hate ".99". Scummy. Just sell it at what ever price you want though, you can always try selling it a bit higher then reducing it later anyway (and maybe get more interest in it again, if you need more).

  I think the creation forum should be kept as it is, but should also contain a Completed Projects section.
