I don't know if anyone would be interested, but I'm trying to find a way to make a little money doing some kind of commission work so I can pay off college debt from fall of 06 (Had to withdraw for health reasons :< ) doctor bills, and a few other things. Basically, my services to you would depend on what you donate. Examples of my services would include: 1) Sprite sheets for you for the community game in the PSSM: The RPG style. I can do a design, a walking sheet, poses, emotions, anything you need. 2) Custom sprite sheets for you in the PSSM: The RPG style that can be used for whatever you want. I can do a design, a walking sheet, poses, emotions, anything you need. The character can be original or based off of something else. 3) A small, RPG Maker XP project based on your favorite episode of the Sailor Moon anime or an act of the manga (Limited to Dark Kingdom arc for the time being.) It would be made with the PSSM: Another Story graphics, not the new ones. However, custom graphics will be made in the PSSM: Another Story style for whatever is needed that's not available in the style. The projects can either play out like an episode or involve gameplay. For the menu and battle system, you will have the choice of picking out ones from a list of those made by scripters. Provided the scripter grants permission, they can be used. You will have complete control over the music---I have any Sailor Moon song that's ever been made, or if you have other songs you'd like me to use I can use those as well. It also doesn't have to play out exactly like in the anime/manga, you can request changes be made. Voice overs are available upon request. I can also burn the project onto a CD with a custom CD case and possibly art on the disc, just like a real game. 4) (Maybe) A small, RPG Maker XP project based on a fanfic that you've written. If it is within the realm of possibility. Note~Any projects I do for you will be in your control, if you opt for everyone to be able to play it, I will host it and have it up for download for everyone, if you want it kept private, that's cool too. I can assure everyone that doing these commissions won't deter from PSSM: The RPG. It's either this or I find a job, which will deter time away from the game. XD Thanks for your attention, and don't worry if you can't help me out, I just figured it was worth a shot.~ You guys are the best, and since PSSM: The RPG is taking so long, I decided I'd give you guys the opportunity to see what I can do in a fun way. If there are enough people interested, I'll go ahead and think up prices. |

I could be very interested in paying you a fee for making me a few sprite sheets. I would love sprites of the Monsters of the Day from the sailor moon series. I know that sounds horribly time consuming, but I'd be willing to pay per sprite, or even per sheet! I'd need like, one of the sprite standing forward, then one of them in an attack pose. This sounds like a great way for me to get what I need for my comic, and you to make some money. Let me know what you think, and what you might price something like this at? PM me or something!! |

Sure thing, I'll send a PM your way soon. I'd like to point out that this is all as a last resort, I'm pretty much broke and my meal plan money at school is almost out. >.> With my health the way it is right now it's really hard to hold a job. |

There's no shame in offering up your services for money (as long as it's not sexual... cause that's illegal). This is a great idea because you're helping out people who care about you/what you're doing and you're using your natural talents to do so. It'd be worse if you were like "Give me money because I'm making this game for you!" THEN there would be shame. This is all simple business transacting and we all care about ya and what-not. |

...I figured that people would not pay for sprite sheets, but I guess I was wrong. I personally wouldn't, but then again, I can make my own (I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT MOTOKI, I SWEAR. It's that NEGAVERSE FLUNKY apron) I would definitely pay for a small game based off of an anime/manga chapter. Have you figured out what you'll be doing for pricing? |

A small RPG Maker project will probably run around $50 or more because they're so time consuming, but I don't really know what would be reasonable or what people would be willing to pay. What seems reasonable? |

I personally would NOT pay $50 unless the game was very long- like, console RPG long, because that's what I could be buying instead. Maybe around $10-20, since I'm sure these would be quite condensed. |

I didn't really think of it like that. XD I suppose you're right, I think $20 would be reasonable. The reason I initially thought of it being more is because it will probably require additional sprites to be made. It just depends on what you would want. Upon request, I can add/change things. It also depends on if you want it to play out by itself with no actual gameplay, or involve gameplay. Depending on the episode/graphical requirements I would probably price it around $20 - $25. |

Another factor to keep in mind that you can charge higher (the 50$) but offer discounts if you already have the sprites to create said game; since making custom sprites will add to the creation time. |

But still, just how much business will he get with prices that high? It's about getting as much bang for your buck as possible. If I can go out and buy a new RPG for $50 that will give me about a dollar for every hour I spend playing, I'm certainly not going to spend the same amount of money for only half an hour of gameplay. |

After thinking about it I wouldn't charge $50 for a game project, but you have to tell me what you'd want before I can make an estimate. Like I said, it really just depends on what the work entails and what's reasonable. |

If I'm reading Chains right, the buyer would be able to control the game script-wise right? Meaning you call the shots about how the story goes. How many games under 50$ bucks can you think of with that? (besides RPG maker ) |

I would LOVE to commission you to do my sprite sheets for the community game, since lord knows my spite skills are lacking. |

This idea is good. Before I make any decisions though, how are we paying you? Paypal? Check? Money Order? Important stuff to know. |
