Your games and your skills

UltraLionBlu

Hi everyone, I was wondering which of you published games on the playstore and what these games are. For curiosity!
And then I wanted to ask you if, in addition to being programmers, you are also a graphic designer or how did you make the graphic, did you ask any professional?

Hello, I've published several games to Google Play, my most recent is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ashumbesher.legs

In addition to programming the game, I also created all of the graphics, music, and even the text font myself.

As my games are inspired by games from the 1980s, MS Paint was the perfect tool to mimic the pixelated art style of retro games. To make the backgrounds of the graphics transparent, I used https://onlinepngtools.com/create-transparent-png

I created the music with https://beepbox.co/ and I designed the text font with https://fontforge.org/en-US/

I hope this helps

only have the one game, taco bob, on the app store right now, but hoping to get my second, vikings, in the next few weeks (been saying that a while now but things keep getting in the way).

i’ve also got a bunch of partly done projects sitting on my mac that i should try to finish.

most of my art i’ve sourced from third parties, but the things i’ve done myself, i made using gimp (great free alternative to photoshop). music and sfx i also sourced from third parties.

i’ve been playing with blender 3d as well, which is a freakishly good graphics tool.

They look like nice games. I'd like to use graphics that are exclusive to my game but it doesn't seem easy to find someone capable of doing a similar job, and above all who knows how much money he would ask

It's not hard to find a graphic designer or illustrator. There are plenty of people here:

But you need to be willing to pay for their services.

Very interesting, I will sift through many topics!

EDIT
I'm seeing many masterpieces, they look like paintings, but little 2D material and examples of animation, but perhaps for similar artists they are simple things.
How much do you think it can cost to get graphics for a game?
I know it is a senseless question because it depends on each artist and how much work is required, but for your experience, could you give some examples?

@UltraLionBlu Sorry, I've never hired anyone to design game graphics, so I don't know the answers to your questions.

I don't know if you saw these but they were part of the link I posted above:

I'm a graphic designer first and do game development mostly for fun, as a hobby. I published a few games to the apple app store and for the amazon fire tv. All of which are offline at the moment due to me not keeping them updated for the current systems. I plan on updating a few for amazon now that I've renewed my GS license for a year.

In the first link there are images of a game that is very reminiscent of Shadow Of The Beast for Amiga 500, it is very cute.
Then I also found in this link some very fluid animations such as that of the little devil and the mini rhino

It would be interesting to see your work online !!

Nice game Jamie one day I would like to try to make something similar, a machine game with a bird's eye view I have Super Car for Amiga 500 in mind
