    So I know a lot of people don't like to talk about their game finances and accounting but I think it's a really relevant topic especially for small indie gamers and developers. So I would like to encourage everyone to come up with their own game finances topics so we can spread the knowledge and...

    i do not know where to put this question, so um watercolors?

    I don't like the blocks, I prefer the tubes. My favorite brand is Schmincke, they paint very similar to Winsor Newton but they come in a much bigger tube so it's easier to get them out when you get to the end of the tube and they're easier to open when the caps get paint on them and kind of...

    What size of item image works best?

    It really depends on the number of items you plan to have in your game. The more items you have the smaller they should be, especially if you're going to try and list them all on say an inventory page. Larger items not only take up more disk space they consume a whole lot more bandwidth.

    I started down that route with Whoa-Horsie and you have to get really good at doing regex within text blocks. One of the problems is that if you have large text blocks it starts triggering performance problems because the number of regex searches you're doing requires a lot of CPU power...
