I spent $100 on Fiverr for my Game and THIS is What Happened 

yeah the output by no means is perfect, especially for the character being an exact replica! and I do think that simply decimating the skull should have been quite easy to improve the massive polycount! but, I don't fully agree with the "for $25" part. That makes it seem like $25 is a huge payment for this model, while in reality I think it's actually quite cheap and in the end you do get what you pay for. For the most part I think all of these freelancers did a good to great job making something that matches or exceeds what I'd expect for these price ranges. (that said, this is from a central European perspective, which... we have a pretty high cost of living and are used to decently high wages)

​@@thegamedevcave I recommend getting free models from sketchfab. And yeah. I agree. Its all a matter of perspective. I worked 7 years on a car-wiring factory in Ukraine (VW/Audi official client), messed up my back, mental. It was 3 different shifts, so goodbye personal life :D After the shifts I was wet from sweat. And all that for ~7-12$ a day.

yeah if you're coming at it from the perspective of $25 being 2-3 days of hard work it is more than fair to expect a lot more for that price! comparatively so looking at it like 2-3 hours of work :)

Great value indeed!! The game is coming along nicely... although there is A LOT of work to do still , as always XD

@@thegamedevcave all the best and keep up the great work 👍

first comment, on this comment

it's still in development. I'm making it in unreal engine!

Thanks! progress has been slow over the last few months but step by step we're improving!!

@@thegamedevcave are you trying to go for a low poly style for design or just less stress on system

i'm certainly going for a stylized look, I'm not sure i'd really call it low poly for the most part but certainly a lot of assets aren't going to be overly detailed or realistic!

right, seems like i made a mistake in the voice over. the code on screen is the right one. good catch!

if you're trying to stay as low budget as possible, you'll of course want to do everything yourself but as far as cost vs results goes, i think these seller's had reasonable prices. People's time simple costs money and assuming I had done this myself I would have spent a good handful of hours on all this. probably at least 5 or 6 hours, that converts to about $20 an hour, which I don't think is unreasonable, matter of fact I think it's rather low (i know that I wouldn't be taking on jobs with lower pay rate than that at least as a freelancer). Of course, you can't just do this for a whole game , every single asset, that ads up really quickly, especially for your first game! But for a little help in areas that you might not be as good at (I for instance fully plan to hire someone to do my music because I simply cannot do that myself), it is a decent option.

@@thegamedevcave Alright, if this is what you think then I believe you. I'm not a game dev yet, but a student. So these prices looked way too much for me.

it's a matter of perspective :) as a student you for sure should try to do as much as you can yourself anyway to take every chance you get to learn!
