edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
Hey guys myself and DreamLab are gonna try to start doing this often. We want to get the community back in the giving spirit. Don't expect to see complex gameplay stuff offered for free but thing like this should come a little more often. And Please GS Staff this is not for sale it is free for the community so no need to Dump it in the marketplace. :)



I've added to and modified slightly one of FMG's slider demos for this so it does both volume and Sound effects separately. Also you can hear what level the sound is at since each change make a click at the new level. Then visually the squares behind the slider lighting up as the sound goes up I think is a nice effect.

Now for the Art. All Art is original and was done by DreamLab. And he has included this art for you guys to use to use how you please.

The Catch is no selling of this template. And when you change it up I ask that you offer and changes back to the community. This is a spirit I have seen fade over the past months, And I would hope to revive that.

Please don't take this as an attack on template selling. Its not, There are in fact a few very valuable templates offered in the market but I do feel there are also several that really have no business being listed.

If you would like a copy please email tenrdrmer(at)gmail.com I will send out a mass mail later this even when I get home. Oh and If your lucky DreamLab may be adding some additional backgrounds to the project before it goes out.

Enjoy
Aaron

    I'd be lying if I said I didn't get the idea of the light up indicators from darren's vid. but just the idea. It was built from FMGs volume slider template.

    If you want all the fancy knobs and stuff you'll still have to go for darrens template. :)

    Oh and for those of you who have emailed me in the past you may notice the one listed here is gmail. I only did this so my phone doesn't go off all evening while i'm out. I didn't change my address or anything. Thats just an email I use less regularly. Sorry if that caused any confusion.

    Hopefully more graphics will come with this like different colors and styles for everything. We are hoping to put out more free templates to help all of the users that don't have the money. Mainly we want the forums to go back to the way they were when templates were free. Thanks guys.Be looking for more.

    You already admitted to copying my design which is a low blow imo.

    I have sent for a free copy cause i want to see if you used my code too.

    I do have 5 different music sliders in mine for £5 but it seems like a full on attack and up yours utopian so gl if ya want to play dirty.



    At the 1:20 mark anything look familiar?

    Let me preface this by saying, I appreciate anyone that contributes to the community, whether paid or free. You, Utopian, are one of the members I hold in the highest regard.

    I'm not sure I agree that making a copy of something that is not that difficult to do in GS and releasing it for free is a low blow. I do, however, think that publicly implying that he used your code is a bit premature and a tad on the defamatory side.

    If he did in fact use your code (I mean direct copy/paste, not similar chunks of simple logic) or had included your graphics, then this would be a different post.

    Cheers

    That's pretty low Darren. I will be sure to include FMGs demo with your copy. It's no attack on you. Or anyone else. I think simplethings like this should be made available to the whole community. That's how this place used to be.

    I have nothing against selling of templates but this tool me all of an hour to put together so I think it's more than fair to give it for free.

    And your threat to destroy any sales of my own templates only hurts your image in this community, and only give me a reason to not bother with charging and just flood the place with free stuff. Anyway if you had an issue with this you should be emailing me to discuss this instead of accusing me of stealing your code openly on the forum. That very bad taste man. And for the record I have never even had a copy of your music template nor do I even know of anyone with it.

    guys ... imho I don't think we need to have a free vs pay for battle going on.

    It is clear some are posting with comments that suggest their distain for the pay-for efforts of others.

    Additionally it would appear from an outsider that of all the free templates that could be done for the community .. this one was chosen to make a statement against Darren which i think is a real shame.

    If a template is not worth the money to someone they don't buy it .. simple. Obviously many do see the value.

    If you do a free template .. thank you.

    Simple as that .. and that's really all it needs to be.
  • UtopianGamesUtopianGames Member Posts: 5,692
    You admitted to copying my design in the above post you also know were selling it so wtf you on about?

    Your the one that's low imo.

    And tbh i dont give a &^%$ what people think of me if someone is taking the piss which you clearly are by copying my work and saying up yours you bet I'm going to speak up.

    Your also contradicting yourself by saying the way it used to be with free stuff when you have a bubble ball in the marketplace for sale.

    I think it's clear he both didn't rip Darren off and even directed sales back to Darren, stating complimentarily that it was "fancy". End of discussion, everyone cool off.
  • tenrdrmertenrdrmer Member, Sous Chef, Senior Sous-Chef Posts: 9,934
    I said I got idea of the red blocks lighting up from your video. Not that I copied your design. If it was am attack on your template I would have the time to do the dials and other options you offer. But this is the kinda stuff that used to be free and I spiced it up a little and re offered it for free. I made it from a free template so it certainly wouldn't be rIght for me to try and sell it.
  • DimensionGamesDimensionGames PRO Posts: 993
    I'd be pretty angry myself if I were in Darren's position, this is his full time job (developer) and he NEEDS to make money. There is nothing legally wrong but morally it's debatable.

    Hope this gets resolved for both party's sake.

    Cheers.

    thats a bit of a cop out.

    All he said was he got the ligth up idea from darren. Darren doesnt own the light up idea.

    And if you want to get technical fmg's sliders were up long before darrens.

    This is just showing how money hungry people are getting, that they are complaining about free stuff

    no behaviors were copyed and pasted from darrens template at all, so i dont see what the problem is

    It's not good to copy and paste, but if it's his own work why shouldn't he give it away and also why would this be "morally" not right? I mean, there aren't many ways to do a slider, and it's not like there wasn't any free slider tut on the net to begin with.
    Obviously if he just copied it, it's another story, but as it stands I don't see the need to go and blame him.
    I need money too, and this is my only work since I'm still studying, but it's not like people can't go and give for free canabalt templates or plant vs zombie templates just because I'm selling them (even more since, as their name states, I copied the design -and even a little more in the PvsZ one, lol-), as long as it's not my code.
  • UtopianGamesUtopianGames Member Posts: 5,692
    Money hungry...lol, I'm not going off on one because of a £5 template it's the fact he watched my vid and copied the ideas then stuck the knife in by making it free when he knows were selling similar and your correct i don't own the idea but it's pretty cheap to copy don't ya think?

    He's pissed off his bubble ball template hasn't sold so trying to have a cheap dig at me because he knows we make good money from templates.

    The thing you guys don't seem to grasp is no one buys rubbish...

    Do all the +1's ya like but I'm not budging from the way i feel about this and just to confirm it has &*^* all to do with the money.

    the money hungry wasnt meant at you, it was meant at everything thats been happening around here in general. We have people selling 1 dollar templates, 6 angry bird templates after you said you were doing one, 6 tower defense templates after you said you were doing one. Thats what you should be pissed about , those are the people that see how much your making and try to catch the train, not him doing some changes to fmg;s free template being inspired by you and putting it for free as well.

    I'm with Darren in this. Darren keep up your great works, those who knows quality will definitely gravitate towards you. I hope you're not discouraged by all these. Don't stoop to their level.

    Peace.
  • DreamLabDreamLab Member Posts: 2,127
    holy crap....I missed a lot. lol. I have been in school all day. haha. Ok this is my opinion
    - 1. If you are going to charge 5 bucks, 3bucks, 2bucks, for a template, why not just make it free? I mean really. will it kill you? (not targeted at anyone so please dont get mad. because there are many 15$ and under templates out there)
    2- This is no-ones idea. All we are doing is trying to help the community so they don't have to spend money every second of the day to complete their game. I know, they can learn to do it themselves, but still
    Again, that is just my non-biased opinion.

    PS: to all the people ignoring this crap and just wanting the template, thanks. we will get some more out there.

    Utopian games template is clearly superior and more useful. Anyone can see that. So I don't really see a problem with this little free template. It's simple and based of an already free slider demo. Anyone could easily make this themselves from FMG's template, this simply means that we don't have to. Utopian's template isn't something that anyone could do and if someone wants to buy it for the quality, I don't think this free one is going to change their minds.

    Peace.

    What level? Its not like he is selling this template. because tsb had an angry birds template up and darren decided to put one up as well. So you really can't say that. Darren did the same thing. ]

    darrens angry birds-

    tsb's angry birds-

    check the dates. his was before darrens. So its a double standard.

    Well it's nice to know your opinion of my template. Just so you know I have sold enough bubble ball templates that it doesn't bother me to continue working on updates.

    As far as the !@#$% last night which i'm sure your referring to my being pissed. Its that we have a Sous-Chef (you) who has found a way to profit off the community and when the forum added rules that all of the profiting needed to be done it a certain place one of our sous-chef's (you) refuses to just use that. you post everything to the main page and then throw a fit it gets moved when thats the rules. And as a sous-chef you should be the first one following the rules since you have had the sous-chef status bestowed upon you. You also abuse that and go back days after your threads have been made to add Stars to all of your posts so you could gain better attention which in turn profits you. You are abusing you privileges as a sous-chef. But yet again none of that has anything to do with this since it was completed yesterday evening around the same time as all of that.

    I feel that the people coming here need a decent free option for their games because not everyone can drop even $10 bucks on a template. I sure can't. I downloaded FMG's template duplicated the slider and set it all to run the Sound volume instead of the music volume.

    I think the bigger question here is if my sliders match your code. then did you copy FMG's code and offer it for sale? Because in my book thats pretty low.

    I'm home now so the templates should be arriving soon to your inboxs.

    No anyone can do it. He went back and added them days or weeks later to identify his posts
