  • I got some time over and made this today, I'm also open for more work!

  • Simply put, you get what you pay for. If you have a low budget you probably won't be able to get a very skilled artist/musician/coder. Most low budget projects that do have above average production value tend to be done by a tight team of friends or a solo developer with sufficient know-how. Those scenarios usually don't involve a lot of money since they are all doing it out of their own pockets.

    That said, if you want to hire people you'll probably need some money to spend if you want quality stuff, exclusive assets are generally much more expensive than the stuff you can buy on asset stores (but then your assets won't be unique, which is not optimal).

    It's also usually a good idea to branch out into other trades as a designer (which I assume you are, given the info) as being solely a designer limits you significantly unless you can pay people to do stuff for you. Getting your hands dirty in coding or asset creation is usually a good thing to do because then you can do other stuff than just being the "ideas guy", that way you reduce cost and have more control.

    I think current owners get a discount rather than freel

  • I'm open again!

  • First I draw on paper, conceptual things. Like different poses for characters or the shape of geometry, stuff like that. When I find something I like I usually draw the assets in PyxelEdit.

  • I just want to say that it's usually not a good idea to work on projects without upfront payment. Don't do it, it's not safe. If the buyer doesn't want to adhere to good business practice there's a trust issue somewhere, that's not a good business relation.

    And as for contractors, don't be that guy. Do your work, give that extra 10%. Sign the deal, don't break it. That's why we have legal contracts. If you don't sign anything, it's a bad business deal. Always ask for paper, even for small things.

    And never, ever sign on to revenue share deals. Pay is never guaranteed with those deals. You know just as much as your buyer how much you'll sell and that's uncertain and unsafe. Don't do that.

  • Great to see this again, I was afraid it vapored. Looking forward to updates!

  • I'm available again.

  • I'm currently still working on storyboarding, plotting and things like that, I don't want to spoil any of it so I'm going to focus on gameplay and presentation rather than story for marketing and preview stuff.

    I updated the image a bit, the colours were not quite right so I adjusted them. ^^

  • A toggleable option is always nice.
