1.What inspired you to start deving?
1.Well I used to do something very similar on an online game. When I started using imvu a friend I had at the time urged me to try developing here.
2.About how long did it take you to start satisfying yourself with your work?
2.Well I'm never completely satisfied. I'm usually pretty happy with my latest items for a while though. I really think I've gotten better at texturing recently so I'm excited to get more items out. Finding the time however isn't so easy.
3.About how long did it take you to start making lots of sales?
3.It really depends on what you consider lots. I don't make that many. It took several months to sell enough to not have to worry about credits for submitting items though.
4.Did you ever feel like you should just give up?
4.Nope.It can be discouraging but never so much that I ever felt like quitting.
5.Do you feel that it's a competition between you and other fellow devs?
5.Competition? Not really. I do feel pressure to do better when I see what other devs are doing, I see this as a good thing though.
6.How do you come up with product names, do you have a method?
6. I'm pretty boring when it comes to product names. I prefer to keep them short and descriptive.
7. Are there any secrets you could share about deving right now?
7. No actual secrets but knowing a thing or two about art are always striving to improve your skills and invaluable I think.
8.Do you have any advice for future devs?
8.Same as my last answer
9.Who is your favorite dev?
9. I don't think I could ever decide! ShiroLoliChan, Pharmacist and MolotovCupcake are all pretty great and nice people.I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting as well.
10.What is your most prized piece of work?
10. Oh that's a tough one. Probably the fawn coats. They took a lot of work and I'm still pretty happy with how they turned out.
11.Do you think IMVU could have a better developing program? If so, what could they improve on?
11.It certainly could be better but I'm not exactly sure what I'd want them to do to improve it. Possibly make the previewer easier to work with but they seem to be working on that already.
12.What is your favorite thing to develop?
12.I like making accessories. Not any type in particular, just things that are small and quick to make. Instant gratification!
13.Have you made anything you thought was horrible but the "IMVU Public" seemed to like?
13.My striped socks sell pretty well but I don't think they're anything special.
