Freelance Art Commissions

I'm coming here with a bit of advice as someone who has done plenty of commissions over the years, both for projects on this site and elsewhere. You're welcome to ignore me, but I think it's important.

It's a bit too early for you to be offering commissions when you're still relying heavily on reference to create your art. Almost every piece here is a redrawing of an artwork, something that isn't bad as practice, but doesn't fly as a product to be sold to others. You need to allow yourself more time for personal growth to develop your own look and feel to your art, so someone hiring you can feel confident that they will be getting consistent and unique artwork for their project.

It's fine if you like the art style of things like Castlevania (Ayami Kojima's work is beautiful and certainly a source of inspiration!), but redrawing existing art into new characters is not merely inspiration - it's copying.

It's clear from what you have here that you have a great foundation, but you're not ready for commissions. Learn to branch out of the comfort zone it seems you've fallen into and create your own pieces and then hopefully you'll return!

Unfamiliar Roads

Played this game during IGMC's public voting stage and had a great time with it. I loved the concept and urge other people to check it out!

Sunken Spire

It's been a loooong time since we worked on this game, so I'm sorry if this is wrong - but I'm pretty sure that treasure chest is linked to a post game quest.

Sunken Spire

I'm pretty sure there was one item in the ice puzzle that was straight up impossible to get due to a last minute change before submitting this game. (Gotta remember, it was made in 1 month) Sorry about that! I think it's just a healing item or something, so you're not missing much.

Thanks for checking our game out all these years later though. Random mishaps like this aside, I hope you're having fun. :)

April was a Fool

Hi! Thanks for playing the game, and I'm glad you liked Kent. He really is a fan favourite heh

To answer your question, Kent's feelings are for May! Unlike a certain someone else, Kent can separate the two. Though initially drawn to her because of her resemblance just as everyone else is, Kent and May's relationship forms based on May's persona, not lingering expectations from April.

Thanks NeverSilent, I'll redownload it and give it another spin after work!

Liberty, you can't escape Piano and Barte's house.

Hey people - maybe make your games not require the RTP :(
I can't run An Alpaca Pushes Blocks OR Final Maker even after installing their respective makers.

Anyway, I want to play some dumb games. I'll edit this post as I play!
Arum Online
The best MMO experience I've ever had. I got the world first kill on Dragon God Reborn this week. I feel good about myself, even if my mouse hand is sore.

Fruity
I have 8/11 endings. Correction 9. I don't know what just happened, but maybe I shouldn't play and type these things at the same time. I quite love the music choice in this highly intellectual experience. Moreso, I enjoy its hyper-analytical look at violence in video games, the consequence of choice, and fart jokes.

I Didn't Sign Up For This
Love that video intro. Reminds me of some old school games, all it was missing was a freeze frame pause that then cuts to a 3 colour image of the screen. Your lengthy advertisement for Japanese Wrestling gave me a good laugh.

Kuest
This was fantastic. Also, since we both did rogue-like style games I was really curious to play it. Yours was way more polished (though lacked the random generation.) Presentation in this was slick. I love how much charm the graphics had. Seriously, this was a fantastic little game.
I'm off to find another Kuest.

DamuMashinZ
DAMU DAMU DAMU MASHIN!! Resubian no MECHA! DAMU DAMU DAMU MASHIN!! DAMU MASHIN Z!
All those little house sprites and the mech sprite make me smile. The co-piloting system for energy was neat too. Make more! <3 I want to know if the laundry got finished.

Project19
It's RPG Aggretsuko!
I didn't make it very far in this because More Work just kept kicking me and Theresa's butt. We tried, but ultimately - we weren't cut out for this job and I quit.

Winter School/Fantasia2
I have no idea what I'm doing in this game?? Eventually I went into a building and it crashed because a map didn't exist. There was too much room to roam and not enough instruction to tell me how to roam.

chatlogbin
I broke Frogge's heart with abs and then got stuck in a house, unable to pass a hammer or escape :< I LIKE JUMPING.
Then I got splork killed :( :( whoops.

Pastel Adventure
ha well. I was pretty sure nothing good was going to come out of that. The dread of 'something bad is going to happen' hit me the instant I saw the graphics on the title screen. The fairies only confirmed it. I got the Bad End. Perhaps I'll give it another swing to get a better one.

Square
Nice touch including a colourblind version. If you click the red square fast enough the crowd starts to sound like a demonic creature rising from the the manhole on a nearby street and that sure freaked my cat out.
The first time I booted the game, my cursor wasn't working properly. I just saw the text, click the red square. As the Camelid stared into my eyes I tried frantically to click every red pixel on the menu screen, since I couldn't start the game with the buttons. The music slowly ebbed and made me feel like I stumbled into a more horrifying game than I realized.

Lights Off
Cute concept and very manageable for the amount of time allotted. Would be much easier if I bothered to grab some graph paper. I beat three levels before I ran out of time before work.

What are you talking about? Of course RPGmaker was designed to make garbage.

Everybody Make A Dumb Game This Weekend

Rach and I haven't made a game in over a year - this was a great way to blow off that pent up steam. Go punch some bears in a maze that makes no sense, with a stat that does nothing, and no balancing. <3
