    If I was being annoying I'd still say that's a terrible font, even for promotional material :p

    You didn't even thank him for putting in the effort to help you?

    This is what I was saying in my first post, as a developer you're supposed to cater to what the gamers want, not just what you want. Being open to suggestion is one of the most useful things a dev can do.

    I appreciate his effort, but no thanks.

    I know, that's what I've been trying to say! It's SUPPOSED to look slightly childish! that's what makes the characters cute!

    I was trying to help. You said to do better, I did, and you put it down because you said you wanted the bad art. There is a huge difference between ' childish looking' and 'looking like a child did it'. Yours is currently the latter.

    Well you are being mean. I worked really hard on those graphics, ok? Does it make a difference that I'm 12 years old???

    I know, but I already have the graphics mapped out, and besides, I never put it down. Why you're flaming me, I don't get. PS: If you want me to say the truth; your graphics would not fit with the game at all, you failed at doing better, you managed to screw up my art though. Good for you! :D :D :D :mad:

    You people are all jerks about this game. TouchArcade sucks, all the members hate you for no reason. I'm only sticking around for a few select threads.

    He's 12, case closed. You're not even supposed to be on the forum unless you're 13+ y'know. Wanna know why? Reason has not yet set in to your little minds and they don't want you getting in the way of the real conversation.

    P.S. SeanIvy's picture was definitely superior, and cuter.

    Let's stop judging the kid until we see some gameplay footage. For all we know this game could be awesome

    I'll be 13 in two months. And his pic was not cute. All the shading and way too bright! He got on me about my art now I'll get on his.

    God, it's like, I finally get my dream of having my graphics as an app and I get flamed for it.

    Hello everybody.

    I am the developer for blinks.

    Along with working with Saints, I have to support him.

    As a programmer, the thing I lack is Photoshop or Gimp skills.

    I believe Saints has said skills, which is why I have agreed to program this.


    For the people who are actually interested:

    I have been really working hard and have about 30 % of the game done, in two days.

    Also. If Saints agrees, I will try to port it over to the Mac.

    As for beta testers: maybe.


    If you have ANY questions, please contact me at pearapps [AT] gmail.com

    Yes, unfortunately it does. I understand you have a dream to get your art into a game, but poor art won't help you.

    Please remember, I worked at home, doing 3d modeling and graphics on the side, for 16 years before anyone thought I was good enough to pay me for it.

    I wasn't intending to 'flame' you.

    I'm a professional graphic artist who was trying to help, you asked us to do better and than showed contempt for our efforts.

    I'm trying to help.

    It was meant to be constructive criticism, I'm sorry if you thought I was flaming.

    This attitude will not help you, I looked back through your thread and I see more posts praising your efforts than bashing your art.

    Keep at it, don't give up, eventually you will have your dream.

    Sean Ivy
