| Without a doubt, the most unique idea for a screensaver ever. |
| ||
| A credit somewhere would have been the polite thing to do...Nice chillis thought. @Kuron - Don't forget the bouncing cheese! ;o) |
| ||
| Without a doubt, the most unique idea for a screensaver ever. The most *unique* idea was probably the flying toasters from two decades ago... |
| ||
| JeremyTheJovialJackal, A credit somewhere would have been the polite thing to do Most humble apologies - didn't know you wanted one. Will add a credit today. Sorry. And thanks for the framework. Awesome stuff! |

Hi JeremyTheJovialJackal OK? |
| ||
| lol at the about box... |
| ||
| Looks like a novel idea for a screen saver but do you really think that something like this will sell? Not that i'm putting it down by any means. |
| ||
| Chevron, dunno if it will sell. Unlike a lot of people here I'm not doing it to sell product just to learn and play around. I have a 'history' with B3D screen savers and apps and wanted to move to MAX so this seemed like a nice easy way in. I write things for myself mostly. If it sells then great... |
| ||
| Ever heard of Freeware? :) |
| ||
| Yup in fact all my apps (c, vb) were freeware for a number of years (approx 10). I even ran a free BBS many years ago. Now I figure if there is any real desire to 'own' the software then the meagre price is warrented and is pays for the next BRL product etc etc. |
| ||
| Now I figure if there is any real desire to 'own' the software then the meagre price is warrented and is pays for the next BRL product etc etc. I respect your opinion, but you'd be surprised. People seem to get turned off, no matter how little you charge. Personally, I wouldn't dream of charging for a screensaver. |
| ||
| I personally wouldn't buy a screen saver either. There are alot of very cool free ones out there. |
| ||
| Eh...I could of sworn I'd posted already?...Damn you preview button... Anyway... LOL at the credit, that's great. I'm gonna get a perverse pleasure from thinking about your customers reading that and wondering what the hell you're on! ;o) Sorry if I came across as a bit grumpy in my previous post, I seem to be doing that alot lately. I think I may be going through the male menopause or something. ;o/ |
| ||
| ...but you'd be surprised. People seem to get turned off, no matter how little you charge. Actually, big10p, you would be surprised how many requests I get to write screensavers. Some fan email even suggest that I charge too little. Personally, I wouldn't dream of charging for a screensaver. Well, you first have to create one, then you can dream of it :> |
| ||
| Depends on the screensaver. I don't think I'd pay for the chili one, but there are those I have paid for. Like the flying toasters, A Disney screensaver I bought, and the Terminator 2 screensaver I bought. Unfortunately, all those work on Windows 3.1 and I haven't bought any since. Well, I did buy one that was a slideshow of different Sci-Fi landscapes, but I bought that for the pictures and never used it as a screensaver. |
| ||
| Check out Vorboils! |
| ||
| Aw come on don't make him use your nick name in his credits dialogue Ian - although as a Crazy Chilli it adds to the madness. ;-) As for charging - so what! If someone puts in the work to produce a product, add it to their website design, setup a payment service through a particular company and give customer service on that product they deserve some financial reward. If you personally wouldn't buy - fine. But don't snipe at somebody for putting in the effort on a product. |
| ||
| Well he can't very well just put in "Ian" or better still Squatting Neville lol. Anyway, this is just another string to Boiled Sweets's bow and more power to them. It can also generate more site traffic even if sales aren't hot. Plus it's more experience yada yada yada. |
| ||
| Er, Grey he would obviously put his surname after Ian. :-P |
| ||
| My surname might be Pimply-Higginsbottom, for all you know, Steve. ;o) Mr Sweets, if you'd rather use 'Ian Duff' and spoil my fun then feel free. ;o) If you don't mind people knowing you used blitz, you could even use "www.blitzbasic.com community" (or something similar) instead. |
| ||
| I really didn't think this thread would end up being about your credit Jeremy. However as far as I'm concerned the existing credit is perfect. And why would non Blitz forum people know that "JeremyTheJovialJackal" means its a Blitz proiduct. And no I don't care that people know my products are Blitz, I even mention it often in the FAQ. Would you rather I put ... Thanks to JeremyThe JovialJackal Pimply-Higginsbottom :-) It has quite a ring... |
| ||
| Pics look nice Boil. Sorry for the highjack, but is there a good mod to make screensavers in max? I want to make some crazy stuff like the cheese saver for fun myself. |
| ||
| Take a look in the archives - the framework is there. |
| ||
| Nice screensaver dude. Well Done :) A link to the framework in the archives would be appreciated. Thanks :) |
| ||
| Finally I know Ian's surname as it isn't in his profile. |
