The nuke here is way more worth it since in the og it just gives $400 instead of money per all the zombies killed

[@penthactussoul]

@@spikerthedragonbear True. The nuke in Cod is only worth for 3 reasons. 1. When you are in high rounds and already have a lot of money. 2. When you are cornered. 3. When there is only 1 Zombie left

i think he just googled up some animations and threw them in to a engine. still, pretty nice for 50€. surely took him the whole day

[@Floky]

Yeah, I'm impressed aswell 😁

[@InsidePhil]

Honestly seems like you got your moneys worth conceptually with the $500 one. I’m not sure if that’s the price for you to be able to monetize it yourself but it looks like an awesome place to start building your dream zombies game, having someone else already do basically everything. Cool video, don’t want you to go broke but I would watch another one of these

[@Floky]

Thank you very much! Will try to make more of these 😁👍

[@XainonN]

A friend of mine is working as a graphic designer. To make decent detailed model he need probably around 1 week. So if you calculate 40 hours a week with for example minimum US wage 7,25$ (a game designer earns a lot more) per hour, it is 290$ for 1 character model. We are not talking about physics, animations, level design, sounds, other models, effects, menu settings etc. So in the video the fiver guys were using already made assests, which they made themselves earlier or bought somewhere. Even considering this, the first 2 games were completely unprofitable for the guys.

[@Floky]

I do agree with what you're saying but keep in mind, a lot of Fiverr devs have ready made templates for a bir array of games and so the actual work they have to put in is not as big as you might think... Personally I think it doesn't matter if they use a template or make everything from scratch as long as they deliver what was asked of them... I see a lot of people being upset and call it an asset flip

[@XainonN]

@@Floky Yeah you probably right. For the price they delivered on all 3 games more than enough. Even if the second game is a bit frustrating.

[@antonjjohansson]

You should grab a seller that has three different plans setup, where you buy the basic package, normal package and premium package, with three different account, and ask for an almost identical game, but try not to give it away, and then compare features, graphics, etc.

[@Floky]

That's actually quite a good idea 🤔

I saw a game that had the same issue and apparently you have to add some code to automatically, and randomly offset the frames at which each zombie’s animation starts, or something like that.

[@omer1615]

Well the second game wasn't crashing, you most likely have enabled "error on pause" option in the console. And the mouse wasn't locked to game view so you just clicked X button on the editor twice so give more credit to second dev, he did good job tbh.

[@Floky]

Thank you for your remark, and I will say that you are right, I have no idea how to use unity so fair point. Altho it did still crash after I packaged the game too, I just didn't record that part... Also, the main reason I was salty is that he didn't deliver half the features he promised... And I let the fiverr devs chose the features they thought was acceptable for that price point, he said all the shown features will be no problem. Finally, do I think what he did was worthy of 100$? Yes I think it was, I know gamedev is time consuming and so if I'd do the amount of work he did I would have charged the same amount BUT I wouldn't have promised unreasonable features 😉

[@omer1615]

The first one maybe used a different resolution, its common for me to think it feels good in the editor and later in the build the sens is too high. The running speed is still a mystery for me

I think he took a mobile game template and build from there... The running speed is because he didn't use Deltatime to cap the speed, now the speed is dependant on fps, if I had 30fps I would be running super slowly XD
