OK. Here is the real deal. The fonts are cool but really no good for GS since you can't import them into GS. I suppose you could type something up in open office then convert it to a png image. The arrows, messages, lines, etc... are 8-bit looking and for the most part need to be cut out using adobe since they contain a ton of white space (i.e., lots of work). The clipart--I can't even get it to download==tried at least 15 times on two different networks--no luck.

The sound I tested was pretty good. But...everything is grouped by broad categories. For example Animals sounds. I had to listen to some 130 files before I got to the animal I was looking for. Kinda ridiculous not to label each sound file with something like bird, ape, etc..

Glad I only paid ten bucks as I will get 10 bucks worth out of this but the hassle is not worth much more than that.

Ok. There is a very useful service i use called TinEye that functions as a reverse image search. Basically, it will show you other websites that are using the image you provide.

Using the sample images (), here are the results:

(The two character drawings appear to be original, or at least not published anywhere mainstream).

I personally wouldn't find a use for any of those sample images in a game, but perhaps my standards are too high. I also wouldn't pay for what seems to be just a large scale image scraping from a bunch of websites.

Hope this helps the GS community

Colour me surprised.

Too many people here have the mentality that they can do the minimum amount of work and make money from it.

Hey, sometimes that works. But in general, no, no it doesn't.

Or at least it *shouldn't*

Darn! Not what I wanted to hear...

oh don't mind me, Jack, I'm just tired.

Since I sold my soul so that GS Direct wouldn't go ahead, I've not been sleeping. At all.

Yeah, I've been feeling pretty lousy myself. I've been blaming the weather and the time change. I think that I'll go out for a nice walk this afternoon though. Maybe the bright colours of autumn will lift my spirits.

I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been sleeping. Sleep is important. Have you tried counting sheep

Sorry.

I do hope that you feel better. You're usually very cheerful.

Take care of yourself.
