tbh?? asshole move to not discount the feral accessory trunk on bf sale when they now cost fucking 250 csc
It ended up being included afterall. :( Even though staff said it wouldn’t be and made no announcement to reflect any changes. For the first few days it wasn’t discounted, but when I went on a spree on the 4th and I found it discounted (125 instead of 250).
I don’t find the private poster creepy at all. Feel like those saying it is are really young/conservative/judgmental. I get if you don’t like the art style and that’s fine, but not sure how it’s creepy based on overlay and current new description. Maybe I’m just super liberal or whatever.
Okay here’s the thing: Subeta is a site for ages 13+ and this wearable would be considered too explicit for that age. “Sexual/Graphic Content Wherever possible, do NOT forget to mark boards or site areas containing sexual or graphic content with a warning; in the forums, this warning needs to be in the thread title. (IE: "Mature content".) And remember, there ARE limits as to how much we will allow. Subeta is PG-13!“
CSC payment option unnecessary for CWs art?
I know there are some people who aren’t able to pay rl $ but artists can’t eat csc either bro.
If an artist does a commission for 2k csc, and that person releases 4-6 batches, they’re making a csc profit off of them, straight up. UNLESS of course, the artist requires a specific CW as part of payment and is happy to accept that in place of $, just doing comissions for straight up csc shouldn’t be mandatory for CWs.
Its different than other art because you don’t have the potential for making csc off of a pet overlay. But if I buy a recolor from a certain artist for 500 csc or 1k csc I’m almost always making 1-2k csc profit off of it.
What do you say? I’d like to hear your opinions.
It is required to have that as an option for selling any art on subeta. Rule from the Art Forums which applies to CWS: ”You may not sell/auction any digital or non-physical item that only offers the option to purchase/bid with real money. You must also have an sp/csc/item option. However, if you are selling physical items (which must be shipped), you do not have to have an sp/csc/item slot.” I completely agree that money probably helps the artists more and CWs (and possibly future recolors) are more of a commitment than just a pet overlay, but the option is necessary because of rules. Otherwise, the artist would get iced. And honestly, I can see where staff are coming from that they would like people to have the option of being able to purchase for on-site currency when it is for an on-site thing.
New to CWs
How does a releaser decide on a slot price? Why is one item 600 CSC and another 700 CSC?
CW pricing generally goes like this: There are 4 price categories. Per 10 copies: 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000. That’s how much CSC is required to get a batch of 10 copies on site. They’re now listed as 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, since you submit them in batches of 5 copies. The base price is the least you can price something without having to pay CSC out of pocket to cover submission costs. The base prices to pay submission costs are: 200, 300, 400, 500, but often times releasers mark it up by 200 CSC on top of the base price to cover the artist copy and some of the cost of their copy. The reason why some shirt may be 600 and a wig may be 700 is based on the price category they have to be submitted under. You maybe make back CSC from the markup pricing, but really it is not a profit. Not when you consider the cost of the designs and recolors. Hope this helps! :)
cathii shoes
is there a reason cathii doesn’t offer shoe commissions on her thread? i know she did both the teeny oxsies and all of the jet/crystalline shoes she released and tbh those are some of the best CW shoes on site and to be able to commission shoes i want from her would be great. so i’m just wondering??? ?? ?
(i would ask her myself but i feel like she dislikes me so i didn’t wanna contact her about it)
From what I can tell, she doesn’t really take commissions with the exception of the recent set commissions. I think those were just designs she drew and then sold one and released the other herself. You could probably ask if she has any more shoe designs to sell but ultimately you would have to talk to her about it.
The number of times that Bug is under the weather has me really concerned that he is really overworking himself. :( Rest up and take it easy bud!!
We love you bug but take care of yourself too! Subeta can wait another several days or weeks. <3
subeta is a fun community game but the forum layout make me feel disconnected from the community. it is old-fashioned. i have to click all sub-forum to see what is the current game related discussion. subeta has a lot of sub-forums. i wish there was “latest” section that shows all new posts with option to silent selected sub-forums and threads.
Once upon a time there was a most recent posts “Aggregated News Feed” thing at the top of the forums page. I’m assuming it was taken down because it was putting a strain on the site. I miss it. The option to enable it is still in the forum preferences but it has not existed in two years. :(
At what point do we say enough is enough!??!!?
Maybe Ale should try something new for once. And while she’s at it, she can stop playing the victim, and stop sidling up to all the other releasers to get the nicest stuff.
Get off your high horse OP. People like the design and they like the recolors. Ale likes the design enough to spend her money on it, so what? It’s not hurting you that she’s releasing lots of pretty things. If 40 recolors of x, y or z is affecting your life, you really need to rethink what you’re doing with your life.
wow. what a totally, shitty as fuck thing to do; and rude as hell…what a good friend you are, asshole.
How hard is it to know what pronouns someone prefers to go by, and to respect that.
Unless I know for certain, I always default to “they/them” for pronouns, and if someone really doesn’t like that pronoun I think they would tell me what to properly refer to them. However, there’s a difference between someone genuinely forgetting what pronouns someone prefers to go by and blatantly ignoring the user’s preference, and I think this is not the latter (meaning they just forgot).
I am not trying to bash Cathii and I am by no means not calling this art theft, but didn’t we all learn from fuu’s mistakes? This is literally referencing the same website that got her in trouble [I am mostly just curious if this is okay being not being treated as a tribute, since it looks very similar to me]
Well I don’t know how it’s being submitted, but I already see 4 things different from the preview than from the image ref, so it’s possible the user is submitting it as a tribute? 4 differences I see: bangs & face frame are different, color of hair is different, color of bow is different, the ribbons have a V cut on them instead of a straight cut.
Edited I just found out that apparently you’re not allowed to use other avatar/pet site stuff as references even with the 4 changes so I’m editing this post. I did not know that.
alright so
for some reason my dog slammed my door this morning and my heart almost stopped and I went to check on her and the goofball was there standing looking at my face. anyway good morning guys I woke up thinking about this and I can’t go back to sleep because I’m thinking about something and it’s bothering me.
this is going to be a lil long but please bear with me. while trying to sleep again, I grabbed my phone to check pings on subeta and among the pings I saw one from X releasing something and their items are really pretty and I went all !!!!!!!!!!! let’s do this.
once again, sold out. so I was like “how the heck did it fill this fast”. it did because it was a 2 batch (10 copies, new system ya I’m a turd I know everyone knows) item.
now here’s the point: when your items are popular you just… know, something tells and shows that your releases are The Bomb considering how fast they sell and how many people miss them and every single recolor sells like water, what’s the criteria to determine the number of batches you’re going to release? is it like “I don’t want my item everywhere including pawn shop” or “the item is mine, I paid for this and I do whatever the frick I want”?
it’s not that you need my money or support but I want to support you because your items are beautiful and something that I can use (and I truly mean it, resellers seeking to slot to profit later or use things as trade fodder can get the heck out of everyone’s faces) but the batches are always so limited and honestly more people miss it then actually slot for it. I’m starting to look past some pings because I know I don’t stand the smallest chance and it’s so frustrating, you have no idea. and this is coming from someone who spends a lot of time online.
anyway sorry for typing an essay I got carried away and if I was rude somehow please forgive me, I didn’t mean to but I needed to get this out of my chest.
Honestly, I think it’s really hard to determine how well an item will do. And not capping the batches seems to make the item slot even worse than capping it at a very limited number. I guess it works kind of like the unicorn frappe thing that Starbucks did a week or two ago. They had a limited amount and for a limited time, so every place you went to just about sold out. But if they just added it to their menu as a regular drink I don’t think they would’ve made as many sales on it as they did. It seems people like things more when they’re exclusive or limited. Maybe because they think “I can’t get this again so I might as well get it now.”, and it’s kind of the same concept that works on CWs. You might think “20 copies is still rather limited why not put it at a higher batch number?” but unless that specific design was very popular and coveted, most items on average nowadays seem to only slot 10-15 copies. If only batches could be capped by 5s instead of 10s I think you would see a lot more 15 copy/3 batches instead of 10/2 batch which makes it seem much more limiting. Of course there will still be people slotting at the least possible available batches, but to each their own.
Question: If you pre-pay for art on subeta (with subeta currency) and the artist keeps saying your commission will be done next week (but it’s been four months) what do you do? Do you just lose all the sp/csc? The artist refuses to give a refund.
I definitely think you should contact the user again and talk to them before just outright reporting them, since real life can get hectic and all, but if you had to pay upfront and they’re being elusive without anything to show for it after a month then it’s definitely an excuse to report them.
man tho for real i kinda don’t like comments on posts here that are always like, “well if you really don’t care why post about it lol” like sometimes people like to complain? to vent? to let off steam? it’s one thing to complain to an empty room, and it’s another to do it in front of an audience (who may or may not agree, but w/e, as long as someone’s LISTENING alright) not everything here has to be legit complaints or declarations of admiration. sometimes people just need an audience for their complaint. now how you react, i can’t and won’t dictate, but i still dislike the standard response of “don’t post about it if you don’t like it” anyway yeah that’s MY vent, peace out homies
But really though, if you need an audience wouldn’t it be better to just vent and discuss it with one person, maybe a friend, and then actually work through the issue? Instead of just post it in a very large and public blog that is going to get you a variety of responses. Not all of which may be helpful to you.
Engrave's constant whining
Holy fuck, Engrave, maybe if you didn’t spend what little money you have on CSC for custom wears and pet slots, you could actually afford to take care of your sick birds and hamsters? Aren’t you like, 30? Have you not learned about priorities? Fuck.
I don’t know the whole situation, but either way, people shouldn’t have pets unless they’re going to take care of them. Pets are not something for you to have fun with and discard when you’re done with them. Pets are a responsibility, they are a living beings and you should not own one if you’re not going to take care of it at any costs. Period.
Two cws submitted by two different users and one vanity item. Huh, how about that? Clearly I am missing something because I know for sure that copying official art is a major no-no.
Sonatine is the artist for the two CWs you’re claiming art theft on and she doesn’t copy art. Is it inspired by the Vanity item? Yes. But as you can clearly see, the flowers are drawn differently. Close match for sure, which is the goal for these recolors, but certainly not art theft.
Did Whipped Cotton Candy Mousse use to be a CW or something? It sure looks like one, down to the hair-as-food schtick.
It was a winning CW contest item. Subeta did like a few of them in the past. It was for Peka-boo I believe. I believe it was drawn by Cathii for the contest.
hi psa
if youre a cw releaser or planning to release cws any time soon or ever, please read this: https://subeta.net/forums.php/read/869072
please try to at least understand it! its p important bc almost everyone is/has been doing it, yet its apparently a freezable offence and possibly will be enforced in future!
a big shoutout to Reaper for getting this out to everyone, as well as everyone that contributed to the thread, tickets, responses and etc etc!
