With Halloween right around the corner, I love the pet games that go all out for the season! Some of the best pet designs can be the spooky ones, so share some of your favorites from games you play or from your own game! 🎃 I'm the most active on Marapets right now, and these are some of my favs... And of course I have to give a shoutout to Neopets for nostalgia

Bumping this since it could be a really cute concept to implement in time for Halloween! Good luck selling ❤️

Well I'm beyond the point of protection from Paypal to open up a dispute it seems. Thankfully I wasn't paid up too far ahead without work, but the time lost on my project is more devastating than the money at this point. I hope others have better luck!

@Lucille Ah, I'm sorry for my misunderstanding! I wish you the best of luck with your Paypal dispute and can get those funds to better use for your game soon!

I've found out that some of the projects he marked completed for me were also unfinished, buggy, or not fully set up to work as the guidelines listed. However, just based on my own situation and what I've heard from others, he wasn't always truthful about his progress. I wouldn't hold your breath on paying for the completed code if he returns @Lucille. It's likely that he was only partially started, if at all. Maybe when he didn't have as much on his plate he could catch up, but I think he just took on too more than he could handle and his health kept holding him back. Regardless, it looks like there are way too many projects large and small (more than who have posted here) to excuse this poor business practice. I wish him well and hate to sound so harsh, but there's no reason to have kept us in the dark for so long before just disappearing altogether with so much owed work left behind. I'm going to attempt to open a Paypal dispute as well.

@judda The 15th is also the last day I had contact with him. His profile on here shows that his last visit was June 30th though.... But I'm sorry to hear that you've been without communication as well. Today marks two months later with no update... I hope he's alright but some kind of quick communication (at the very least) is really necessary at this point. I hope he does return to refund people.

Thank you both for letting me know! Sorry to hear that you haven't had any luck either

Just wanted to bump this and see if anyone has gotten any response or work from @PaulSonny in the last two months? When he last reached out, he mentioned moving and trying to remedy all the owed work, but I haven't gotten any response since then. @Lucille @KingofCrows @hurricaneviolet @Design1online @Martyn

Commission Announcements for Late Summer: Hello everyone! I recently got promoted into a management position at my retail job... which means full time!!! I still want to actively take commissions, I just need a little time to balance and get used to it. My current que is full and I hope to clear up most of it by the end of next week, but I am accepting inquiries for work to be started at the end of this month. In fact, I'm looking to pay off $8,000 on my student loans by January 2019 when my grace period ends. My Commissions Trello has been updated to reflect that goal and my progress so far! I appreciate everyone's patience and interest in my work ❤️

I definitely agree that a contract lawyer will be your best bet in getting a really tidy and firm contract, especially when you are running a business! However, I know many who are just freelance artists - maybe just as a hobby or for income on the side - that can't/don't see the value in spending that much money on a lawyer for a well reviewed and (hopefully) totally legally sound contract, but shouldn't let that deter them from trying to have something to protect their rights and assets and it can still have legal standing! My post is definitely not exhaustive, and leans more towards artists (as that's how I've learned) - but it's hopefully an informative introduction, and is helpful enough for people to start thinking about contracts and getting one of their own made up! @FearZero - Thank you for sharing some more information! What I quoted above is especially important in our little niche industry and commissions from smaller businesses or individuals - and really good on your part for finding ways to cut off access until the scripts/services are paid for!

@LIZ You're looking for the Marketplace, right? That and the Game Directory were two features recently removed as announced here: So you should be able to just make a thread on the forum like before to sell your assets 😄

I'm happy to see Novilar in good hands! It was definitely a game built with a lot of love and promise, so I'm excited to see that continue ❤️

@mariell Hey there, thanks for asking! The prices above do not include commercial rights. I base that off the intended usage of the art, and what type of asset or illustration it is. Feel free to send me a message with some more details, and I can give you a quote!

YES, I love egg adopt games! I'd definitely play this if you continued to develop and launch it 😄 Really loving that wolf.

Thanks for the update on that! It's an understandable cut. Hopefully we can start to pick up again soon If any art assets are needed for adopts, our mascot, etc - I'd be happy to assist. I'll try to think up some topics to post too!
