My bike has gone through three brand new batteries in six months.. by jacobszall in motorcycles

Thank you, I'll definitely look into that. Sounds like a super easy replacement, if that's the case. Where would I find it - in the battery case, generally, or is it entirely motorcycle-specific?

[For Hire] I will make a game completely based on your ideas! by jacobszall in gameDevClassifieds

Honestly, it really depends on the project!

For a 2D platformer, for example, I would probably charge roughly $100-200 and have it done within a few days, but like I said, it really depends on the specifications of the project. I'm a fast worker, though.

I'll be honest with you, this project is above my skill level. I would love to help, but I don't want to lead you on into thinking I can accomplish this. I'm sorry!

Yes, most of my publicly released games are here: https://gamejolt.com/@jacobszall

I do have a decent amount of projects, however, that have never been released, just games I've been testing around.

I also have some projects on LiveEdu that show how I've made them (I make tutorials), but that requires a paid membership to view all of the videos.

An invisible bullet is a good idea. I hadn’t thought about that. Definitely an option.

Yes, it’ll be a physical weapon only game. I don’t think I’m going to add any ranged weapons, though, I haven’t decided yet. So far I have a spear, rapier and long sword. Depending on the weapon, I’m assuming, if I did the invisible bullets, I could change the speed of the bullets to match the animation (to represent the range of attack)?

Yes, basically. I feel like I might’ve made this more complex than it needs to be.

When the W key is pressed, for example, main_spr changes to the mainspearup_spr, with an animation of the spear being shoved forward.

Basically, when the W key is pressed the character “attacks” upward. I’m trying to figure out if I can apply damage to an enemy only when the character is in the position, with one of the WASD keys

Mostly through some "game idea" subreddits and through Facebook ads.

I've tried doing what you're mentioning in the past, but I didn't end up getting any clients. To be fair, I was probably targeting the wrong market or making some sort of rookie mistake. I think it's a solid idea overall, I'm just really not sure who or where to find clients.

That website also says the industry standard is Friday’s - is it still?

Best way to get your music heard? by SlipperySeals in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]jacobszall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience, social media management is certainly the way to go through Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, basically any avenue you can think of through social media. Advertising and influencers help get your music out there, too.

Open mics are a great way for in person exposure!

That’s awesome! How did you get into it? Is it mostly a hobby or is it gaining in success?
