omg you are charging 800-1500? jess that way too much for anyone to pay that mush and that is why I always work for free when I make my screen pack for people or when I help them out. But I do love your style of artwork and the way it's really looks. the only advice I can give you is changing the fonts for the option games settings to match the screen pack, theme you're working on
I don't think it's overcharging; I'm new to M.U.G.E.N as a whole but have been around game development from other companies for over a decade. The Mugen community is the only community that generally says the price is over the top. I think it's a fair price considering 90% is made from scratch, which takes a lot of time. Most people borrow resources and slap them together; I'm doing none of that there.
It's compensation compared to others. As I said, only the M.U.G.E.N community generally says anything about my prices. I even charge more for Unity / Unreal user interfaces
you should see how many pixels art costs, and I've created tons of sprite sheets in my day. Pay for quality. If anybody wants to do the worst work, then downgrade the payment. For the amount of creativity/custom work I do, there is no way I'd do it for free or lower my price point.
Comments about price like that to me is just unnecessary like if somebody isn't in the line of work at least up at that level, there's no need to make any gestures about somebody's prices. I've worked a contract job for an indie UI company before, and they paid me $9000 US Dollars with zero required coding artwork. For the Ikemen GO screen packs, I'm also coding them, so if you ask me, the price is low.
