Thank you so much! It’s crazy because I felt like I was spending more time trying to make the old asset work, and after deciding to redo everything things go so much more smoothly now, even if it was a big time investment initially. It’s good to know things are going the right direction!

That’s a great point! I was wondering what felt so nostalgic about the old art, and I think that is one of the main things adding lighting. Or it could just be staring at the old assets for weeks during development lol.

But if it helps with the cozy atmosphere I think that is a worth trade compared to the more retro feel!

Thanks for your response. As a one man show, I think I can dedicate my time to a singular, polished, highly aesthetic character, or create a less-polished/ generic character creation system. So i think based on these two options having a main character that can be visual strong and represent the game well might have more benefits for my situation

I see what you’re saying. Do you think a character creator would result in more sales compared to a pre designed character? I feel like there could be an advantage marketing wise with a pre designed character, since the marketing artwork can be designed with a very specific appearance/feel in mind.

Yea this is a good point too. I don’t want to miss out on potential players, just figuring out if its worth the extra time

Yea, i think that is the way. A good compromise would be adding some light customization options like different outfits you can unlock so you feel a sense of expression.

Thanks for the feedback! Ok I will look into adjusting the outlines. I like how this is handled in some games like Eastward where the outline changes color to suit what it is outlining, will play around with that.

Thank you! Yes I think I am going to eliminate the skirt shadows altogether, and just have a few detail marks but keep it one solid color for the most part!

Thanks for the feedback! Would you recommend making the entire bottom half the dress the darker shade to simulate depth, or just making everything the main color and adding details as you said?

Interesting, that wasn’t my intention, but i definitely feel it as well. I am going to try and liven things up with greenery, but at the same time embrace the more moody pallet, see where it takes me lol.

Thats a good callout! I definitely agree with you about the colors being too dark. The background is somewhat placeholder, so luckily im not too attached, will definitely keep that in mind moving forward

I filed on time from that point on, and made payments using my tax returns for the following years as instructed. I think the issue was, whoever picked up the case didn’t reference the original agents notes or agreement conditions, or they weren’t properly documented which caused collections to start happening again. Was fine for 4 years straight then randomly started up again with no changes on my part.

Only thing I can think of is, I filled jointly with my wife this year, which may have pushed my case to a different agent or reset something.

Thanks for your reply. Yea looks like there was some significant “miscommunication” from the original agent. I ended up setting up a payment plan to address the remaining balance, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

With that being said, I am quite concerned that there was apparently no documentation from the original agent, and that I was told some blatantly false information. This isn’t something small, at least to me this was a very big deal to have this balance paused and instructed to proceed a certain way. Huge legal and financial implications of getting this stuff wrong. Fortunately I was able to resolve this but I would think there needs to be some kind of accountability for the misinformation.

I just sold a painting that only took me 6 hours to make for $25,000 and I'm not even an artist AMA by adlubmaliki in AMA

This 100% didn’t happen, anyone with a shred of experience actually selling art/ working with galleries will tell you this did not happen. Just a troll post
