Doing art commissions (drawings, pixel art etc)

That's good to know, Ness.

I also think it's too expensive (for my budget anyway). Still, if people are willing to spend that amount of money, why not.


That tileset looks pretty awesome if you have sprited everything yourself. I think you would probably make some money if you lowered your prices.

You might be better off selling things individually as opposed to a whole tileset. People could submit requests like: ''I'd like a car/tree/whatever'' and you could charge them on a single item for something cheap like a few dollars. It seems to me there's more money to be made if you take requests for small items than by forcing people to dish out 120$ for a tileset they might not want as a whole.

EDIT: I checked on the net and some people actually paid 50$ for this:

Go figure. I think it's pretty amateurish and doesn't deserve near that much.

EDIT2:
In the US, hourly rates for pixel artists vary from $15 per hour up to a cap around $50 per hour for the best artists on the most well-funded projects. This can be a lot of money for somebody in New Zealand, but sometimes not very much if you're in mainland Europe. However, a useful median that you'll see from large, respectable companies is about $30/hr for talented artists to work on high profile projects that look pretty hot on your portfolio

This week in blogs, week #11 2011

This is great and I really like the idea for the award. Perhaps providing some pointers as to what good blogs are all about might also be something to talk about in the future.

Looking forward to week 12.

Giving Feedback: Pass or Fail

I'll be looking forward to playing the next version anyway. The thing is, you certainly have the skills to make some pretty rad animations for the battles and hopefully you'll find a way to fix the script so that the controls are more responsive.

I'll admit I was pretty surpised to see my health was still down after resting at that place, I kind of took for granted that I'd be back to full health! I guess I've played too many RPGs, haha :).

@Ness: To be honest, it wouldn't have changed anything. I didn't mind the difficulty or the fact that I didn't have enough cash to buy new weapons. What I thought needed improvement would pretty much remain the same. This being said, thanks for letting me know! :)

Doing art commissions (drawings, pixel art etc)

Are you sure you can do edits of the RTP and charge money for them? The whole idea is kind of sketchy considering you don't actually own the RTP... I think you might need to read the Term of use.

I'd be pissed if someone was making money from edits of my pixelart (and so would you, probably).

I might look into it and let you know.

Adalyn Review

Oops, sorry, wrong spot. I did a P&F for this, check out the thread in the Game Dev section. Sorry for posting this here, s_w.

The Screenshot Topic Returns

@Ness:
I think tutorials might be a bit tedious to do come to think of it.
Perhaps a workshop would be a good idea? A dedicated place where you could give feedback to users about their pixel art and share some of your tips? Give assignments to people who wishes to participate?

I think it would probably be more interesting to you than writing tutorials. Just something to think about.
