Wasn't my idea, it was dads. I hated it personally. I will probably make it free and it will be here on program announcements for you guys. That is what I thought AndrewT.

Don't have to charge for it just because your dad suggested it :p
I'd put it up for free on your site as well if I were you.

Well, it's me again, don't worry I'm not here to be mean this time, myself and Joeeigel only now doubt this WIP's progress because we aren't convinced you drew the sprites yourself. (Please tell us otherwise)

Nevertheless, here is some advice:
About oo, I duno, 4 years ago I'd guess... I started wanting to make things called "companies" to sell the games I discovered I could make in DBP. I sold a few really aweful games to like, one person. It was fairly pointless and didn't leave me with a good feeling.
4 years on, I'm still making games that I wouldn't sell, regardless of how their quality has improved.
Basically my advice is: it's not really worth selling your product, unless people are really going to want to buy it. You will do yourself more good if you give your games away. Through giving your games away, you get reputation and feedback from your consumers as well as the enjoyment that you're giving them something they can enjoy too.

You should consider the advice people are offering you on selling this, but at the end of the day - its your decision whether to sell it or not. (Not your father's, not anyone on the forum's)

I agree that you should not sell the game. But, if you do decide to sell the game, lower the price to something reasonable for a game of this size. About $1.50 if you did sell it. Basically, as low as your conscience can handle.

I drew everything except the smiley guy, the background, the regular blox, and the life and teleport bar. Why is that a bad thing?

I do not want to sell it, I know it is not good enough to sell.

I guess it isn't a bad thing really, just Joe and I have an obsession with everything being made by the developer otherwise it doesn't feel like your own work.

Either way, it's good to see you nearing completion on something.

Lol what? - No we're not neighbours

1. We're all forumers.
2. Joe is in my dev-team and we follow Zeus's projects very closely.
3. Happy Cheesecake is a guy who joined the forums a little while ago.

xD that's it.

This is a good game, you've made a lot of progress in these past couple of years

If you see a thread of mine in GDT, please don't expect it to go anywhere.
