That's great, A.H.

You've gained 500 experience points.

Don't know about plugin costs, but if you become friends with enough coders, you could snatch a better deal ;p

BTW Is there a connection between your username and Alex in the game?

My real name is Andrew, I'll leave it at that

Ok. It's veeerrrrry hard to put the dots together here but I'll figure it out someday...

And you got us all worried for metaphoric injuries? XD

Your colours looked pretty good yesterday already.

Matching colors is my artistic Achilles heel, it takes foreeeeever. There are sites that list colour codes that look well together, I use them as reference when I'm painting.

Well I've just updated my games in dev post with my latest work. The menu still isn't anywhere near finished, but I think I've got the colours down, and I've started adding designs and stuff to it so hopefully it'll come together in the next couple of days.

I like that starry background and all that gold (not the 100 000 gold coins, but the golden colours).

I like it

Where LOL

Games in dev

If you are still needing the portraits done, I know @Plueschkatze just opened up again for that. Her work is amazing, so I'm sure she would be able to get you back on track?

Thanks for the heads up @Gabrelik. Im keeping spending short atm with my job been none existent in June. If I manage to secure the job Im currently after I'll be able to start putting some cash back into the project. In terms of artists Im quite set on hiring Luzi if he's around for commission in June, job depending as his art style fits the style Im after.

If however plue opens up her sprites again I'll be deffo on it like a dog on a fire hydrant...wait that's an awful analogy!

They're usually quick to catch it. This was the Hanzo deal. Well, the most recent, anyway:

He was charging about $80 for a license to use his "custom" tilesets, which were absolutely beautiful, and a lot of people fell victim. First red flag was how quickly he would produce new material. Didn't take long before he was outed, but the damage was already done. Second time being caught here, too.

@Gabrelik He used the palm trees as pillars! It sucks that so many talented artists can't live off their craft and on top of that their hard work is stolen and resold.

an example. It's not that the art work is bad or anything, its just the unnatural brightness puts me off.

Such pretty art! but I understand what you mean. There is a lack of contrast. It's true we see this coloring style a lot, esp. for covers.

I know, the art itself is great, but the brightness ruins it for me!

But you're out of caves to map. Now what?

A whole village and some interiors to do.

Cool. All you needed was 'that'.

Don't forget to put your sunglasses on when you exit to the surface now.

@cabfe tell me about it, I literally feel like I've been down there a whole week -.-

Awww It's ok. Imaginary Non-proposals are hard to deal with sometimes. Hugs

I just ate a meat feast pizza so Im all good!

Pizza saves the day.

Yeah, finding a good artist devoted to creating the resource images you need is a key part of creating something good. Some people are good at drawing, others and game making. So, I think that's part of just putting together a team, working under one logo.

Ah, that sucks. You may be able to find some that works for free. If not, then just try and look for some reasonably priced ones here or elsewhere.

Bad luck.

That is true, I am more wanting them in the mv style though. My game is already costing me enough XD

Typical Cave Spider, and depending on the environment around the cave, add a spider species to fit that environment. whatever You do, do not let them coexist, think nature, would a tarantula and a Scorpion work together?

Basically the spiders have taken over, if you look hard enough you'll find a picture of what happened to an unfortunate creature that decided to wander too far. Simply put 100% agree.

If I buy them yes lol.

Oh That was almost a sweet deal.
Then you're probably expected to make them at home. xd

ooh that sounds fun, I have a culinary degree.. but I'm stay at home with my kids... I just have clients that come to me for yummy yums.

Yup.

More buckets. Can never have enough buckets.

More like more webs, my maps almost on 500 doodads, maybe even 600! You'll see a preview shot in my dev thread shortly!
It's actually 809 atm
Total doodads ended up at 1009!!!

Hope you can go for it.^^ You're already scaring us with all the spiders, you have goosebumpity experience in you.

It might end up been a collab project, I atleast want to get the demo done for Dawn of Orion first which Im hoping will be done July/August depending on how my wife is in the latter stages of pregnancy. Then I might make a short pop horror game with someone with the storyline been that mentioned before.

Congrats on the pregnancy! May it all go beautifully well ^^
Yeah one thing at a time, but it's good to have new ideas too, they're motivating.

Caught my 2nd wind, got my outline finished, now I can get the cobwebs added!

I don't like writing or mapping because of this block. If I have to deal with a block let it be coders block.

@fimamati Coders block doesn't scare me because someone else can do it for me

No, I just give the whips to my goblin henchmen. Don't make me send them after you.

just report one yourself and let them know you made a mistake. They're not really THAT scary!

@bgillisp Ah ok. Goblins with whips are only 100 times scarier.

Well I've opted to sleep downstairs tonight as Im a very very light sleeper so hopefully I'll get a better nights sleep tonight.

oh no! Well I hope for his fast recovery. It's rough having sick little ones.

Is he doing better now?
Tough getting through the day, hopefully you'll catch up on the Zzzzs tonight.

Wow! I love your trust in me. Lets start.

1. No spider-silk underwear for you. Not even on your birthday.
2. Potty jokes twice a day, preferably after meals
3. Quit public dancing
4. Sleep on your back, stomach and side for equal amounts of time, every night.
5. You get to fill up #5 on your own because I'm outta ideas.

#5 We dance in the moonlight!

Awww so you're a romance baker! ^^b
I'll have to scrap #3 out.
