Hey guys. Haven't posted in a while. So I'm making a new beat em up type of game and I want to sell it. Any ideas on why you would want to buy it?

i wouldn't really buy your games untill you fully extend your potential

1-Your games have verry funky,waky and fun style wich is a good point since i (personaly) love some of these kind of game like boss2 and more ...ect
2-your big weakness witch will eventually not sell your games are your graphics :SORRY But .........they are more than cartoon-ish ,they are more Shapes ------>you got to improve these you should check the resource site of jagmaster wich gives a lot of simple tool to make adequate and Good graphics
3-your games are fun,right ----->but they need more scripting------------>i mean that they are too basic and tend to be repetitive,most of them are just moving without a lot of design into The depth of the game ( i mean that they are too simple) witch also lead to people saying :"hey these game look easy to make ,lol i can make these ".

AGAIN I AM VERY STRICT AND OBJECTIVE I AM NOT CRITIQUIZING YOUR GAMES IAM JUST SAYING WHAT I FELL.

So yeah this is why i wouldn't Bye youre game uptill know all you have to do is to get more into Ge and asking more technical stuff or demos for what you don't know that refers tom what you want .

ok I know I NEED to inprove my graphics and work on a bit more coding.

Actually, throughout history of gaming, it seems to be the one with the simplicity and basicness that tends to sell the most. Games with a bit of control, just not too much to make your mind confused. Graphics are essential though so I am sure you can find someone to help with a bit of the share of profit. Also, making people think they can make a game is what we want to do at times. If you have GE on your game, people know what you made it with and if they feel they can make it, and want to, that will improve traffic here. I am not saying complex games are bad, and all that, but when someone sees them games, it is intimidating and why would they think they can make that, which will keep GE traffic down. We all have our opinions on this topic, but I believe mine is correct in many ways.

You would want to make a decent effort at learning how to code first. Sure you can say I don't really need that but in the long run being a good programmer actually makes games easier to construct.

Now for graphics you would probably want to hire someone or else get somebody to help you in return for a share of the profits.

Im not saying you are bad with graphic design. Even myself I will need to get someone to do the graphics because very few of us here have alot of skill with it.

Yeah, it never hurts to get better at coding. I yearn to be excellent, but that comes with trying. As for graphics, it never hurts to try to get better at that too. In reality, art in real life and art on a pixelated screen is much different, some can do one, others can do the other, some can do both, but I believe you can practice, and maybe make sufficient graphics because relying on another person to do graphics for you is very time consuming, look at TTM part 1. I have plenty of things ready. I just need the story, but I need graphics for faces, which is why my game was never finished.

I really gotta learn coding more so thanks all for the feedback

By the way. What could be inproved about this sprite

It depends, are you doing a side view of him? If so, the sprite should have a thinner body and really you should only be able to see one arm.

See my man figure for example:

What kinda game is this sprite for?

A beat em up styled game.

But does anyone think the sprite is ugly or playable

I see a few problems with this sprite. It is the arms. I know I am no graphic artist here, but I feel that this sprite is looking diagonal by the arms but straight ahead with the body and feet, but the legs go against the feet by looking at the person who is playing and so does the face. Imagine if there is someone doing this in real life, put yourself in that position now, and see why that is so awkward looking.

Well i could sum up this sprites

This sprite kinda have the same style of painting in old Egypt pyramids,it was drawn as a sign of emphasizing the torso and showing only the profile of the head of the God,ARTISTICALLY this sprite have his own style,BUT technically and graphically it is plain wrong,the head is way to round and the hair is to baldy and have no hair effectt,the eyes and mouth show an expression (which i consider wrong,since i only add emotions if my player is happy or hit ),as for the arms the style itself is wrong an the legs have the same problem too :"they are too far from each other,and there is no depth between each legs"

All i can do now is to review,but if you want i can redo this image ,and the image only,i am not making a sprite out of it .you should find your own way to make a sprite only of a simple image(it's not difficult if you have the right tools and thinking)

As for the critic for game selling part:well if i was searching for graphics games ,i wouldn't buy your game if it had this sprite.

And finally ,why are you making such a big deal about selling game right know,you should take your time and as i said improve your skill before posting something that might not really have potential.

If you have a bad game, you will be known as the man who can't make games, so future sales will be bad also, to point that out. So I agree with sonic, take your time before releasing a game on the market. In reality, as I said, simplicity sells, you just have to find what is the addicting simplicity to make your game be a top seller.

well I'm not rushing into selling yet. Like you said. I only put this post up so I could get your opinion on how improve my games before I sell them. If you guys like them, then I'll start to sell.
