edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
well hi there im only 18 and have been using gamesalad for only 2 weeks now, i started creating a game, i created every graphic myself using illustrator and photoshop ( been using them for a year now ) i have never created a game before, and of course my game is not finished, actually heres a video to my game so far....



if anyone wanted to help me put my game on apple app store that would be great, or i could be a designer for your games or help with your games or even great graphics for you... please tell me what you think of the demo of this game ( remember not complete! just showing you as i just found out now TT been making the game for 8 days well in hours about 18 or less as i have uni )

this game is fully made by me no copyright or anything :)

but please tell me what you think and if anyone can help me put this on the app store, or if you would like to hire me please send me an email to master-jidi@hotmail.co.uk

thank you!

    Hey, looks great. Very nice graphic style. The background is very cool.

    My advice would be to keep working on the game, and save, beg, borrow steal, the money to start your own apple developer account. (student loan, credit card?)

    You'll nearly 100% definitely get your money back especially on a zombie title. And even if you average a few sales a day (after the initial launch high) you'll be in profit by the end of the year. Plus you'll be so much happier knowing all the revenue earned is yours.. especially if it hits 100k or something.

    haha thanks for that :) im actually living in korea right now by myself and pay for uni out here learning korean haha ( british born ) yeah im an achiever haha! but anyway, thanks for the advice and i didn't think it would go that fast with all the competion and stuff just hoping someone picked up on me and thought hes good lets hire him haha but of course im carrying on the game, and should have it finished in about 1 week 4 days, :) about xD all depends what more i want to add, also im currently working on a game what is a similar concept but more of a free roam kind of game that just back and forward, but trying is the best i can do :)

    Great work!... like the scene...

    your game is copyrighted...any creative work is copyrighted when created... you can file for better legal protection ... but you need to add the © symbol ( [option] + g) to let the public know.

    an Apple Developer account for general work is free...
    an Apple iOS Developer's account cost only $99 ...
    and most games will recoup that cost... you can delay signing up for your account till you have your game done.

    Game Salad also gives you the option to publish your game on the web
    or as a MAC desktop version (which can be distributed at this time without an paid account through Submit Downloads
    though that may change when the desktop AppStore is up and running.)

    but... LISTEN to @stormystudio... he is so right! you will be happy!

    ahh thanks for that :) do love the help from this place :D
    as this is the first game i've ever made i think its okay i have quite a bit to do, like, adding multible weapons and upgrades, also adding a upgrade menu and making the main menu getting the leveling sorted adding different zombies, adding different scenes at least 1 more for now, and then i geuss its done for then, then just need to add the random things :D and get rid of the bugs, but anyway how much do you think i could sell it for?? i was thinking $99?? or is it too little? i dont know, but yeah thanks for all the help but i thought this kind of game would only reach 100 downloads maybe im not sure, not something like 100k thats about $50k?? thats insane i love the support thank you everyone for that, and if you have any suggestions to make money for the account please let me know haha

    haha i was about to say... looks very smooth especially with so little time spent!
  • utongragutongrag Member Posts: 91
    thank you :) trying hard :)
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    when you sell it. I reckon try going the slightly higher price for launch then make it 99 cents after that....

    OR 99 cents from day 1...

    I'm sure there are benefits to both techniques...

    Looking good:) But what I don't get is how you can afford illustrator and photoshop and not an Dev account for 99$?

    That is interesting especially since I did not know that we could do that!

    So how do I publish to the web (my web page)
    And how do I make a desktop version that runs on my iMac?

    Would a desktop version be sellable by me or do I have to wait until the apple app store goes live in the near future?

    Thanks for clarifying :)

    Mac app store won't work with the current thing i don't think. You can have it on your iMac I think i remember FMG had grisley manor on his. :)

    You select 720p from the drop down menu at the beging where you select i phone portrait, landscape, ipad. And then when publishing just hit publish to mac :)

    That good to hear. Just had to check. There are some GS users who don't understand/care about copyright issues and illegal software. Keep us updated on the progress:)

    Hi Utongrag,

    Love the graphics, Do you know rickyniko at all?
  • utongragutongrag Member Posts: 91
    thank you! umm not a clue? whys that?
  • debugdesigndebugdesign Member Posts: 886
    Have we worked together before?
  • utongragutongrag Member Posts: 91
    nope we have never why??
  • debugdesigndebugdesign Member Posts: 886
    It's just that main character (only) is the one I did for RickyNiko so unless he gave it too you and allowed you to use it you are stealing it.

    My portfolio shows it walking (so it could have been stolen from there)
    http://www.koocachoo.co.uk/#animated/4

    When you said "i created every graphic myself using illustrator and photoshop... i could be a designer for your games or help with your games or even great graphics for you"

    It got me worried as you have just ripped my art off and are now trying to offer the same services to the forum as I do and using my stuff...

    if you could explain how you got the main character that would be great.
  • utongragutongrag Member Posts: 91
    i acctually sat and drew it i could even send the AI file.... i found a picture on google.... what looked a little simliar but different style then drew around it roughly then filled in where i wanted this image changed i made the animation have all the picture for it what was made by me... if you zoom out the screen the images look extremely simmliar but when you zoom in acctually your'll see they are very different but no seriously i just saw your image now, i even have the ai where i created this image.... please dont fill this thread up saying i have stolen something which i have created? because someones image is similar to yours?? i havent used anything of yours...
  • utongragutongrag Member Posts: 91
    please feel free to add me to msn ( master-jidi@hotmail.co.uk ) or skyper ( sam2463 ) i would glddley like to solve this problem as i can assure you i made this art work
  • debugdesigndebugdesign Member Posts: 886
    It's not me you need to worry about, its RickyNiko as its HIS character!!!

    How is it that the file is called EXACTLY the same name

    poorboy-run - This is the filename I gave it. You haven't even renamed it.
