How do you make your games?

[Conan]

I do all the simple graphics stuff myself with Paintshop Pro( 2D buttons & backgrounds etc) and I employ contract artists for the good stuff. For my current game I've found a great 3D artist who has been churning out meshes for a fixed fee up front & a share of rayalties later. It took lots of attempts to find someone who cound make meshes to suit the engine. I do some of the 3D textures myself.
