How do you guys do it?

Posted by Picc84 on Oct. 14, 2008, 2:23 p.m.

I have began to realize something! And Im happy its starting to click! I finally realized why I don't finish any of my games. Most of us here (possibily all of us) are here for the programming. I mean, some do graphics, some do sounds, etc, but most do programming. My problem is, I have my programming, but Never my graphics or sounds. So heres my question, How do you guys always get your graphics or sounds? I know I don't see allot of "completed" or even good "wip's" here but I do see allot with some graphics that arnt horrible drew in MSP by a programmer who hasnt opening MSP sense he was 6 and learned he could paint!

Anyone film? I have a crappy little hand held DXG 3.0MP video camera, that I wan't to strap to my fire helmet to take video's of when we have fire's. (I'm a vol. firefighter) The only concern I have is what the footage is going to look like with all the color contrast between hot fire and cold dark rooms, aswell as how the motion of a head (helmet… rather) will look on camera. We don't get allot of fire's, so i can't just go out and expirement today… Figured I'd ask.

I make all of my graphics and sounds. I'm not the greatest coder out there though.

I've seen masterpieces drawn up in MSP.All you really need is time, patience and motivation.

I got a friend who sprites for me, and i program the games. Also happens when he wants a game made, I do the majority of the code and he does the sprites and the easier code. Win-win situation =)

Just do it all yourself, even if you suck at graphics. Maybe a good graphics artist/musician will take pity on you and help you out. Or maybe you'll improve with time.

As for sound effects, buy a microphone, and make them yourself. It's a lot of fun.

Or you could just do nothing like me.

I'm with Evilish. Look at any of my examples/games.
