13 hours of work on a Saturday, 12am deadline, client is nowhere to be found meaning the project is dead due to a strict completion date. No compensation of any kind for me, several hundred lost.
ah fuck it.

Did you not have some sort of contract?

sorry to hear that.
lookup "client non-performance" on google and implement it into your contracts, my man, everyone has been there... live and learn.

No no contract. Because I'm a dumbass who trusts people.

I've been there myself mate, and it really does suck. Is there no way you can contact the guy?

update: Guy got online and started posting messages to me even though I had an 6 hour idle time from sleeping. Just as he was, I woke up and seems I did not complete something he explicitly told me to forget about last night to make the due date! YAY! And So now the project is going to someone else! Yay!

sack up and get compensated.
make some noise in his face. give yourself more credit and don't be a puss.

Love to Bonseff, but he hired some child to do it for half my price. He gave me some incredibly strict deadline because of how long the project was running as a last chance. But this morning I wake up to find he ditched me because I did not add something he told me NOT to add last night, although he denies this fact.
ANY-FUCKING-WAY, who wants to buy this? Cheap! http://www.fatedesigns.com/game2…

my client terminated a project (an album cover). he's bein way too picky about things. i told him that no designer will ever want to work with him. it sucks when your client is your friend too. what should i do?

I hope you got paid. If not send him an invoice for all the hours you spent on the project.

Well up front explain to the client they only get three change orders then you start charging them, that will make then not be so picky. Well working with friends is cool and sucks but you gotta keep your ground and not get ran over.

I really gotta ditch this stupid game for monies. If anyone knows someone interested in a game like that, hook me up and I'll complete it to their liking.
