MONEY, ARTISTS, SPRITES!

Things are getting better lately. Today I received the First Payment for a Page of a Menu, my first 100 Dollars. It's a great feeling, and has pumped me into working harder and getting more stuff done.
Game-wise, i was having some problems, I couldn't agree with the artist about the pricing for the maps, so in teh end, while he was great, i had to get another one. I feel as if this artist was just as great, and I'm sure we'll get along just fine. I kept the sketch artist, Because he's really nice and very very useful. (I'm not very good at making sketches of maps myself)

My Sprite Artist surprised me yesterday, I got an Email from him, saying he had begun working on the Battle Characters, and I was thinking he had done them the same size as the Walking sprite. it was a good plan, i wasn't expecting anything else. BUT, instead he made them TWICE the size, with much more details and animation! they look GREAT!

I'll be releasing the first Battle screenshot (with the new sprites) very very soon!

Today has been great, I finished the Menu for the Restaurant, and I already have 2 more jobs, things are looking good!
I recently received some New Art for Dreams. Drawn by my Awesome Artist, Maxim.
Maxim showed me a bit of the progress on Rumi, the female lead of my game.
Here's a little teaser of Rumi:

Hope you all Like it!

I also got some new Background Sketches, and Maybell is being Redone. the New Maybell looks GREAT. It went from a small Town to a Large Town, full of life, electricity, etc!

I'll post the new Maybell maps once they're done!

MUSIC and BABIES WITH GUNS


Today I sealed the deal with a group of VERY VERY talented musicians. They will compose the Soundtrack of Dreams. I'm very excited about this new step, and I can't wait to see what they come up with.

Other than that, with the cellphone...Things are looking better, but I may have to Switch providers, because the plans they were offering me were NOT so good.

I also finished some business cards for a lil' downtown cafe. Extra money! (yay)

I just read some 10 Month old baby got a gun permit!? Check the story out HERE


TO DO LIST:

• Work on Items
• Plan a better Skill Ramification System
  

OLD ARTIST - NEW ARTIST


Well, Today started as a dreadful day. The new artist i had hired for my game sent me a horrible piece. I had seen his stuff, but apparently, the style he was using for my game was a new, faster one...

Honestly... It sucked...HORRIBLY.

So I decided to email an artist that I had hired to do my Character art, and well, things seem to be working out now. if everything goes well, I'll have an amazing artist working with me.

Apart from that incident, everything has been a little slow, I started working on items and soon was taken by real life. where i had to do some graphic design for a local restaurant. I've recently had a large explosion of work for restaurants and Cafes, it's exciting.

I think I may soon get my own business card.
