Works fine if you've got a brand to sell. But don't sell through someone else - you may as well buy the things in bulk yourself from Brunetto or a local screen printers and sell them over your own e-store (which means dealing with Paypal/Google's overheads, rather than a t-shirt stores ones).

If you've got a brand that regularily updates (so we're talking Another Day / James the Zebra terratory only here), TopatoCo could be an option.

Was yesterday like the lowest rated day ever, or what?

Quite a quiet day in my opinions.

I finished my game at 9:15 yesterday! Fucking 15 minutes off. Well, atleast now I can try and get a sponsorship.

It was good none the less

we can all agree that metalocaslypse is the best AS show though, right?

That's not saying much.

I love that show so much. Even the songs sound like they could be real stand alone songs.

It's strange I think ATHF and metalocaslps are funny but I don't like them. I don't know why I just don't.

Thanks for reminding me. I need to watch most of the second series still...

Don't worry spamburger, we already know that.

I promised I'd show more samples of my game in the future. Well, after months of occasional half-assed work, here's what I got so far. I'm really unhappy with it, it runs slow on my pentium 4 PC and I'm really tired of trying to fix all the bugs. There's probably still a lot of bugs.

I didn't see any gamecripling bugs, and even with those graphics it was still very playable (both framerate and gameplay wise). I'd keep going with it, be careful with level design though, i noticed quite a few of the puzzles from braid and i've only played the demo.

Better than spamburgers anyway.

I pretty much took the 1st level from Braid, but the others are purely my ideas and my design. That's another reason why I'm tired of it - I'm terrible at level design. As you can see I only have 3 levels :/ I made a bunch more but I ended up deleting a lot of stuff because I didn't like it. However I'd hate to give up on it because I thought this was truly going to be "the one" project that I would finally finish. I already put so much work into it

I like Moral Orel better.

Yeah don't give up on it, you're onto something here. You could expand it into something price of persia style, with some simple combat mechanics. I think the next thing you should do is get an artists though, so you can progress and develop any level designs/ideas you have properly.

although the frame rate chugs along at times, I found this game very playable. I can't wait to see the rest of the game. Are you going to add robots?

It does rather rely on my knowing in advance roughly how many people are going to buy, though. Any ideas?

Depending on how much of a crafts person you are, maybe you could consider putting together stuff like the Alien hominid plushes that were on sale? I mention that, because Nathan researched it, found a way to streamline his process, got his materials and threw together 100 of them. Used the ng store to handle the storefront end and it panned out to be the fastest selling item ever on the store. I have artsy friends who've also done really well on that front using etsy.com

I think t-shirts are a tough item to start off with. Because usually unless you screen print them yourself youre going to need to invest in a run of 70 shirts or so. I had to do that for the first sketchbook tour and i still ended up with like 10 or so leftover. Whereas if i went with an item that didnt rely on different body sizes i may have been able to get rid of em all.

I'd sell mouse pads. No sizes or anything and people just love to customize their computer space. Or backpacks.

Everyone's getting nervous of being close to the 50,000th post?
Bet there'll be at least 5 people attempting to make it.

The "50,000 Flash Reg Pages" collab or something like that.

God, please no.

No, you should just not bother spamming going "OH I HOPE I'VE GOT xxxxx POST". Does it really matter that much? It's just the same as every other post. It's as stupid as posting "First post" and nothing else in a news post.

Well, as Zyphonee said a while ago, it's tradition.
No matter what you say, people will attempt to get that 50,000th post. I won't.

Enough of that, more of browser discussion.

I was wondering what browsers you all use. IE sucks, everyone knows that.

I personally use Google Chrome, as it doesn't have all the extra (tool)bars, and the tabs are really good.
As my screen isn't THAT big, I can now look at bigger websites because I've got space to spare at my browser.
