Selling My Program.

News & General Discussion

Hey, not sure where exactly to put this, as this isn’t an Asset Store related thing.

A couple of months back I created a PC application with Unity to help people visually create Violin songs,
think of Guitar Hero, except you can actually place the notes where you want, etc.

Despite having survey reviews of how useful it could be, I can’t afford to keep paying for advertising for something that hasn’t had a single sale.
Every single survey people said they thought it could be a useful tool (for writing/playing songs for the Violin).
But even at 5 dollars at one point, no sale.

So I have sense discontinued selling it as I can’t afford the store fees.

I’m almost sure this is because I lack marketing skills. Tried to reach out to Violin people, but either they are to busy with their elite lives or aren’t interested.

So perhaps somebody else can have more use of it.

(Purchasing will also include the website).

for more information if your curious about checking it out, please visit

Here is a video that I have on the website so you don’t have to go to website to check it out.

If you are in fact interested, please send me a message and we can talk numbers.

(NOTE)
Or if there is a website where you can auction programs rights away or something,
but I’d rather sell it to a fellow Unity member here in the community.
Not trying to get rich with it, just want it to have potential that I can’t afford to give it.

(NOTE #2)
Requires Easy Save 2 to work (So I can’t sell to you unless you have it - Unless you want to create your own save system, then I’ll remove Easy Save 2 from it).

Have you considered selling that on steam? It has software section.

I’m trained musician (not violinist). While I haven no interest in the software, I could outline you issues with the video.

Do you need that?

You could try selling it all on https://flippa.com

@neginfinity - I thought about that, but would there be many Violinists on steam? Because I was going to try that, but it doesn’t seem to be a classical music oriented website haahah.

Sure man! Any input that could help.

@Rombie - checking it out now, thanks man!

Well, I was mostly trying to address the “store fees” part. IIRC steam takes percentage off sales and one-time greenlight fee. Also, there’s musical software.

Alright.

Honestly, I’ve scanned through the video, and after the end of the video I still had no idea how it would work and what it does. You spent a lot of time talking about limitations (mp3), etc… but… it didn’t ever make a single sound. That left me confused. Also, I see that you can place numbers on inidividual strings, and scroll them up/down… most likely numbers would correspond to specific press positions on the violin… then you started sliding up and down, and that made me more confused because violin doesn’t have frets, when you have stuff sliding up and down, I’m starting to think that maybe instead of items you placed corresponding to specific notes you’re refering to press positions on violin or something like that.

So… with all that in mind.

You could try redoing the video.

Basically, in the first few minutes, go with “hello, this is XYZ and this is my program, here’s what you can do with it”. Then instantly demonstrate how cool it is and what you can do in it. Show usage. Show that it is cool.

Then get quick rundown of the features, then talk about limitations in the end.

I think it would help if you wrote a script of sorts, and then made the video based on the script. It would probably take a day or two, but may be worth it.

I’m not sure if this would fly for violinists, because a violin is a kinda high-requirement instrument, and a violinist would probably want to see musical notations. However, I think it could work as a gamey application.
