Why does the asset description say "Credit appreciated!", which implies an optional credit, while the LICENSE.txt inside the asset pack mandatorily forces the user to give credit?
That's confusing.
Sorry, but whoever pays 300$ just for a single monster like this in a commission is either being tricked by the artist or just straight up telling bullshit.
The market of pixel artists and for all artists in general is overcrowded. On itch.io alone, almost everyone is doing pixel art, isn't it?
I commissioned several pixel artists on different platforms too, for example I paid 5$ for a four sprite character's falling animation that I wanted for an asset that I bought. I paid something between 50-80$ for a bigger boss including a very specific set of animations. For a game cover used as a big capsule image on steam I paid 250$.
The most important reason, why people are paying so much more for a commission, is simply because of the fact that your company is the owner of the intellectual property of this asset and no other gamedev can use this commissioned asset. This can also greatly increase the originality of your game. Imagine the assets of Hollow Knight can be used by everyone.
I think srtdog64 is playing a really bad game here as his intention seems to be to convince you to artificially raise the price to an absurdely high amount of money for all of your assets to prevent other gamedevs from buying it, so srtdog64 can be the only gamedev who can make a game out of your assets as he previously bought your assets for an affordable amount of money.
Papoy Core, please don't get tricked by this guy by raising your price so high, that no one will ever buy your assets again as visibility is the most important thing for an artist. You are doing it the right way. Stay focused on your own work and never compare yourself with other people and never strive for perfectionism as this can create serious mental health issues. It is okay to get inspirations though, but don't let people like srtdog64 dictate you to do something by adding new monsters exactly as srtdog64 wants it to be, because when no one other than him is paying for your assets and you have to leave this platform forever, because it isn't financially worth it anymore, then guess who is the big winner from your work.
Your assets and your style is really beautiful. Please, keep up your fantastic work and don't forget to take some breaks.
Hi,
I really like your Asset Pack, but it feels a little bit deceptive, when the description says "See below for all the content available right now." in combination with the underlying asset previews, but in reality differs from the provided downloaded content.
So, what is actually missing?
- All purple variations of the UI is missing
- The Goblin house is missing in the paid version
- The font is missing
- The folded paper and colored ribbons are missing
- The wood piles are missing
- The shadows of the pointers are missing
Before adding new stuff to the pack, please update the pack so it matches with the description otherwise it feels... deceptive. :/
After the paid asset pack has been corrected, I would like to have a Goblin Castle + Goblin Boss, which will serve as some sort of end goal.
