  • Sorry guys, I have hit road blocks every single step of the way.

    1. Cant upload from my home IP address, but from my FTP and dropbox it works fine. I feel like i am being blocked.

    2. Got bumped off the newly added thumbnail list on my first day. Nothing done to make it fair for me. Just a promise that future customers will not be treated like I was.

    3. The sale I set up went down in flames for some unknown reason, splitting the page into 2 pieces with broken images.

    4. The new price i set up has been reverted to the original price. and images fixed after Ashlie's post.

    I could believe 1 or 2 of the above happening at random to me, but not every single step. I feel I have been sabotaged.

    I payed just as much as every one else and i still have nothing to show for it. Every single feature i have tried to use has has some "odd" behavior that no one else is seeming to be experiencing.

  • I am done playing the stooge in your little joke. You guys have waste countless hours of my limited time, I refuse to give you another second.

    That $25 you bilked from me just bought you guys a bunch of bad publicity. I hope it was worth it . If you would have been cool with me, I would have done a bunch of free SEO work to bring people to my page, and to your store in turn.

    Instead I am going to have a nice long chat with my credit card company tomorrow , so you guys don't get the $25 reward for screwing with me.

    They have a clause about customers not receiving things that they payed for. They also put people on black lists if they have to back-charge them from too many fraud claims.

    If it is successful i am going to post it on every game community forum i belong to so when people google "Scirra refund" they will be able to see this method of recovering what was bilked from them.

    Enjoy your little giggle. It is about to get hysterically funny.

  • Store page has broken images, and wrong price.... Links to the actual package, but not on sale.

    Thanks a lot guys. $25 to you and this is what you give me?

    Ashley and rob you guys are rip offs and crooks plain and simple.

    I am going to every game community I belong to and post about this.

  • Price is almost half off now. I did not realize the price was in British pounds. They are apparently worth much more than US $ right now lol!

    There will be an upated version soon with sprite sheets atlases so you can use them in a Construct 2 tile-map or use them in other game engines.

  • jojoe,

    Your dice design is beautiful - but the price is pretty steep which would explain why no sales. And the $800 dollar for exclusive - Wow!

    Also, you have advertised that you are putting it on sale on fri (so if anyone is going to buy it, then they are now going to wait).

    I understand your price points, but you don't sell a porsche in a scrap metal store (Tom, not saying the store is scrap metal Just driving home a point)

    To get coverage, you need to be popular items, or bestseller (which you currently aren't). And raving reviews helps too.

    I have purchased loads of stuff, my way of supporting the community I guess cause (I have only used to date, one purchase - lol)

    but a demo goes a long long way. (you mentioned rolling the dice?) Buyer might like to see that in action.

    etc

    All marketplaces are hard to break into, the early contributors didn't have much competition, and you are now entering a level playing field

    Thanks! I have been a CG artist since around 2004. I have worked for Jagex, Nexuiz team, Modelo, and MindPress, along with some I can not mention(NDA).

    When I am on the clock, I make $40-62 an hour. $700 for a weeks worth of my work is a steal.

    My complaint is not the lack of sales, they will come with the visibility.

    My complaint is that My IP is blocked from uploading, and that I did not get put on the newly updated list like the other vendor's who payed the $25. The listing before me and all of the listings after me where shown. Just not my listing.

    As far as the price goes, I am banking on the sale days. No one in their right mind buys anything new. I made the base price 25% higher than the price I actually want so I dont loose my shirt on the sale days. I found that trick on the Unity store. I had some dirt cheap character models for only 10$. No one ever bought hem unless it was on sale for $2. Later i re-added the listing this time for $50, and got just as many sales as when it was the $10 price.

    i also know that the Unity store, Turbo squid, and the Scirra store have none of these dice. Do a google search and you will never find a complete set. Supply and demand.... Supply and demand.

    Tom

    OK that sort of explains a few things, but not why my IP cant upload files. If you guys upload 10 items a day, why not put that newly added gallery on a random shuffle so everyone gets a chance that day, not just the last 3 people?

    .

    EDIT

    Tom and Ashley, I forgot to say thank you for you guys looking into my issue. It is cool that you guys work at bettering things as much as you do. Thanks.

  • Thanks, I have a few templates for on screen controls and some bots + AI i was planning on uploading today. I think I am going to make a Unity version with the graphics now though. When I upload my things to the Unity store, I can instantly see it on their store page in the appropriate place. i spent way too long to have them on the last page of the Scirra store with 0 visibility.

    I have some Spriter characters I wanted to sell as well, but i definitely think I will get more visibility in the Unity store and the Spriter store.

    I have not been able to upload anything from my IP address to my store account either. Yet, if I use Dropbox or my FTP server I have no problem at all. This is the only place I have ever had such a problem. I have things on Unity store, Turbo squid, and on my on site, and I have never had any problems uploading my content. This leads me to believe that there is something fishy going on behind the curtain.

    That along with me not getting any coverage on the store front page is really getting me depressed.

  • "What can I do to recover my property so I can sell it elsewhere?"

    What?

    Anyway there's always self promotion.

    Sell yourself, its still legal.

    I already do that for my own store. I payed Scirra $25 so i could get some visibility on their store too. I am tired of doing SEO work, I just want to make my artwork and sell it.

    I have a feeling I am always going to be on the last page of every sale. I was hoping for a few visitors on my opening day. I gave Scirra a critical review about the Steam version not loading the CAPX files from Explorer. I have a feeling this is the payback.

    The other vendors got some coverage. I wonder if they payed more than me? Why was Voxel cars showing up yesterday and never me?

  • I hit the promote button, and it just loops me back to the front page of the store. I never got on the recently uploaded list like everyone else who payed the $25. Chrome, fire fox, and explorer bring me to the same sad place.

    I hit the button a few times yesterday, and I never got on the list, just a loop back to the store page. I checked 5 minutes after the email was sent too and apparently I never got the same visibility as everyone else who payed $25.

    I feel like I am being black-balled. I regret giving Scirra the money now. As soon as I am off the new items page, my store page will be buried forever. My time, my effort, and all of my content will be gone , and I can never sell it anywhere else to get my time and money back.

    What can I do to recover my property so I can sell it elsewhere?

  • When you spawn the player set the variable to 100%.

    So it will look like :

    ---------------------------

    ON start of layout - --system--Set health 100

    -------------------------------system--Spawn the actual player sprite at X64 ,Y64

    make sure you poke the value before you spawn the sprite or he will be "still born",and dead on birth.

  • I just put this package up for a 96 hour sale for 50% off.

    It will be on Friday 8/21/2015at 4:00:00 AM and last until Tuesday8/25/2015at 4:00:00 AM
