If it doesn't represent it, why do it? Is it just a matter of the art you're using?

Yes, that is correct. I have laid everything out similar to how I imagine, but most of the art does not match up or is not to the correct proportions, so that is what I mean by it not representing what I have in mind.

If you don't have permission, well... I wouldn't do it, honestly.

That is how I feel as well. I tried creating my own sprites and backgrounds and it was an exercise in futility. I have a lot of respect for artists because I am not able to do it, I just didn't know what else to do in this situation to progress the game. I had no intention on trying to profit from the art work, I just needed it to make a playable demo. I will take your advice and look around for art I like and then contact the artist.

Thank you for your input. I will sign up for the forums, and any others I may find and try to reach out to people.

I am currently developing my first game (it is a 2d metroidvania) using Unity3d. I have created the engine and most of the functionality needed is complete. I have the story written down, although the entire game is not mapped out. I am working on a demo version of the game right now, using sprites and artwork borrowed from around the net. The demo does not follow the story, it is just a way to show how the game plays and is a short 10 minutes.

My idea about the demo is that if I can show that I have a playable game with all of the physics and components needed to complete the game, that I will be able to attract the attention of an artist and writer to help me really polish the game off. Is it worth me just slopping together this demo? Ultimately, the demo will not represent the game I have envisioned and I am not sure if people will act positively or negatively to the "borrowing" of artwork in order to complete the demo.

As I get close to the end of creating the demo, I am having lots of doubts. Like am I wasting my time with this project if I am all by myself. I am dedicated to completing this game, but I do not know how to begin finding an artist or writer that will help me. I do not have much money to offer as I am just barely making it by myself and work on this project after my normal job hours. How does one go about finding partners who compliment each others abilities, or does it not simply work that way? Should I focus on saving up money so I can pay someone to do these things for me? I do not personally know any artists, or writers, or anyone who has ever worked on a game, so I am hoping to gain any insight you may be able to offer when it comes to really starting out.

Am I the only one in the world that realized ITT Tech is a scam? by the_red_phonein AskReddit

I went to the Chubb Institute. My class was for "Web development and Business Programming". I know it is not a credited course or worth anything to most people, but for what it's worth, I finished at the top of my class with a 4.0. We were taught HTML, Javascript, Visual Basic, SQL (Oracle Database) and finally Java. The most important lesson I learned from that school was the basic concepts of programming and problem solving skills. I was taught that no matter the language, the problems are almost always the same, you just need to learn the syntax.

When I graduated, the school helped me find a job. The job was in IT, but it was for a help desk position at a call center and not computer programming. I took the job anyway and worked this position for over a year until I was finally offered a position in the companies programming department, but only because I constantly showed interest. I worked in the programming department using FoxPro and a few other older languages. To get the position I told them I was familiar with the technologies, which was a lie. I learned the languages as fast as I could on my own. I stayed here for another 2 years until everyone found out that the company was soon to go under.

By chance, another graduate of Chubb landed a job at a software development company as a tester and they were looking for someone who was good with HTML, Javascript, Java and knew Oracle database. This seemed like the perfect position for me because of the schooling but it had been so long since I used any of these technologies that I really forgot how to use them. I had only a few days before the interview so I opened up my old Chubb books and used them to relearn what I had forgotten. The interview went well and I got the job on a trial basis. 6 years later and I am the Senior Software Engineer for this same company. We try to stay on top of new technology which always keeps thing fresh, interesting and fun for me.

In the 6 years I worked here I was also able to start to my own side business. I created several websites which used my own content management system that I developed using PHP and MySQL. I was eventually able to sell my CMS to many other webmasters in the industry and made a good deal of money doing it.

Some personal tragedy occurred in the past few years which caused me to loose my business, but, I was able to maintain and keep my job. Things are going well now and I am preparing to launch a new website and am in the process of creating my own video game, written in Java, not a Minecraft ripoff ;).

The point of my story is that I achieved a great deal, in my opinion, with a piece of shit, worthless piece of paper from a no name technical school. I believe I was able to take what they taught me and turn it into a career and most certainly a stable future. Of course, I have worked very hard over the past 10 years to get where I am. The school does not promise a bright future, that is up to you.

So my husband and I are in a pissing contest about cleaning the house. by jamiesam26in AskReddit

[–]kataclizm 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My girlfriend and I have lived together for 6 years. During this time she has been a full time student which takes up a good portion of her time. We have had this same problem over and over. I work my ass off so that she can focus on going to school and not worry about money and I am happy to do it. In turn I expect the house cleaning to be done so that it is something I don't have to worry about. I take out the trash, do laundry, dishes and am responsible for the cats litter box. I expect her to do everything else. She thinks I should do some of the house cleaning, and I refuse. I feel I contribute more than my fair share but she thinks that going to school full time entitles her to some special treatment. Well fuck that and fuck you.

My advice, get off your ass and spend 10 minutes a day to clean the house. Then it is NEVER that dirty and consumes little to no time.
