Thank you for your interest, and playing!

I've played for about 15 minutes, and I must say, this is a really charming and fun game! There are tons of great little touches in it. Very well done ^_^

I think I may have found a bug: I noticed that once I got chased by the face in the garden, I became invisible, and didn't reappear until I got cut by the scissors on the next screen.

Thanks; oh, but - that IS a bug I never encountered! ^^ Very unusual - I know of a similar glitch tho, that makes you invisible when you play as blonde Alice, press the action button and directional button at once, in a very certain way ^^;
To reappear, you just have to press the action button again. I admit, it's weird tho...

So you watched an exciting, great movie or played an inspiring, well made game - and suddenly ~ you totally get an idea for a game, and/or even feel the urge to start up the old RPGmaker (or other game making tool of choice ) to turn your idea into reality. It's when the mood strikes you, to be creative and start something awesome!

But then, sooner or later, the creative mood is actually gone - where did it go? Wherever it went, it made room for a different old friend: lazyness! More of an annoying friend tho, eh?
The problem is when the creative mood leaves before you got anywhere decent with the game. : )

I think most people know those creative mood swings - and the longer / more complex the project the more probable they are to happen.
Then, I think, all that helps is a committed and creative development team that is eager to finish the project, working towards the same goal together. : )

Anyway, how persistent are those situations with you, and what do you do to counter them?

@CashmereCat - tehe... that seems kinda like an exciting idea. : )

I presented 2 mini games on the page for now; just returning a lil' bit entertainment to the community here http://rpgmaker.net/games/6281/ and here http://rpgmaker.net/games/6261/ *rambleramble*

@NebelSoft: If it's not to much trouble to ask, how do you go about finding artists for your project? I'm curious, because I'm having to do the same thing :3

Ah,.. well just try a simple and common creativity platform like deviantart.
Once you hang out there, you stumble across very professional and experienced artists from time to time - you check their profiles and portfolio, see if they are open for commission, and if their price level is in the range of what you are willing to invest / pay for good art. : )
Then you compare art styles / artist's experience levels* and prices until you think you found the right artist and just sent him a friendly note, with some information on your project.

As far as I can tell, artists from Thailand often have a nice skill / price rate - ( because of the currency exchange rate ) And many Thai artists have a great feel for style / colors and high quality illustration art. But that might just be my imagination. ^^

A fair price I personally can afford to invest for a character-illustration (maybe half body, or cute full body) would be around 30 USD$. (Not that I'm greedy, I'm just not too wealthy myself ^^; )
Anyway, just be honest, tell them that it's for a game and if it's commercial or non-commercial. : )



* this is a bit of a tricky one - even if an artist has brilliant art in their gallery, doesn't always mean they can draw what you want exactly how you envisioned it, especially if they are inexperienced - or - what you request is not what they are used to draw... So it might be a good idea to check if they already have a commission in their commission folder (or wherever) that already looks very similar to what you want.
