Texture packs are not an easy job AT ALL. They take quite a while, so I'd recommend making your pay alot higher. Website layouts can sell for 20x that and they take less work. Not saying you should offer 300 dollars, but 150 is not going to make the cut. I mean, this isn't a place to freeload off people and cheap them out of something. You need to raise prices and change negotiations. That is a horrible deal to be brutally honest.
What would you do if you found the person you had paid to make the pack had snuck in textures from other people's work without asking those people for permission? Would you then stop selling the pack?
Yep.
I'm going to check every tiny little block and every texture pack to make sure.
In the long run, that's not going to be anything. (Assuming people will have donate buttons, adf.ly links etcetc)
And who says that 'your' pack is going to be that popular that you make a decent amount of money off it?
Chances of that happening are thin, very thin.
I was just thinking about that.
I'll take my chances.
and increase it to 75% !!! :tongue.gif:
Yes, but getting 100% of your own profit over time would trump that in the long run, and texture packs can take months of work.
I mean there have been plenty of artists who have made texture packs by request, but that's for themselves to distribute. I've never seen somebody make a pack and then just hand over the profits of their work to somebody who didn't actually do anything, AND give that person the right to do what they like with it.
so if i made a texpack for u... u would give me 15 buck and 60% of all earnings u do on it?
i wonder what person would be stupid enough to buy a texture pack... u can get tons for free
and if ur using adf.ly... the artist would just earn 100% if he kept it for himself...
Well I'm also gonna help out. We would BOTH work on it. I just want someone who is more experienced to help me and make us both some money?
You're not going to get what you want like this. Either offer a lot more money, or put it as a request and allow the creator to actually use and distribute their own pack.

but I want to work together with the creator so they can have like 75% and I the 25% Like I'll look up cool stuff and make a couple of the blocks and stuff like that... Not all of it for myself...
WOW.. Thats terrible dude. You want to distribute the pack and get money so basically you do nothing and make money? hell no dude thats just even worse.... Make the pack yourself, pick up graphics if you want to make money, but this is just dumb. Sorry dude, but being honest once again.

But why would they bother? It's a little better if you plan to do some work towards it, but it's still more in the pack creator's interests to just make it and not take your money, but distribute the pack themselves.

Well since you guys dont get it and every post in this is bad... I'll make a new one.
Dude we did read it, we see that its a horrible idea. We get basically 75% profit, and you get 25% just for ordering us what to do. We could make a texture pack ourselves and get 100% profit if we wanted.
Just to give you an idea of what sort of price you should really be offering... lets say it takes someone two hours per tile. Now lets go with $5 an hour (About $2 below minimum wage here in the states), one ROW of tiles would be $160.
So yea... if I was looking for money for doing pack art, you are way low unless you can present a really convincing argument that you will be able to sell the pack in enough numbers to make up for that. (Given the number of packs available for free... I really doubt you would without having the fame of someone like Doku and even then it would be pushing it.)

Tis far better to be a witty fool than a foolish wit.

Fat chance. It's a lot of work for a texture pack.
Try at least 10x that.
Wow... 20$ then ;P
Read it again ;p
How about around 70% of money earned going to them?
Yep.
I'm going to check every tiny little block and every texture pack to make sure.
I'm paying them 15$ to get started.
I was just thinking about that.
I'll take my chances.
and increase it to 75% !!! :tongue.gif:
90% then? lol?
Well I'm also gonna help out. We would BOTH work on it. I just want someone who is more experienced to help me and make us both some money?
