Hey guys, a friend of mine is in a youtube scholarship contest and needs votes and views to get into the finals. I'd appreciate your help if you all could take a gander and drop a vote if you feel he's deserving. He's an incredible guy and very deserving of this scholarship IMO.

More info on my userpage.

Thanks all!

Geez, you guys need your own thread or something... having 70 percent of the posts on the last 5 pages from the same 2 or 3 people is getting a bit tedious.

Did you all hear that Castle Crashers has an official release date now?!

August 27th 2008

Boo yah!

I like camp north...now that I know what it is...

I submitted all the art I had laying around on my comp.

seriously, shouldn't a site say what its purpose is somewhere on it? Like, "Camp North: A site where you submit art"?!

Crashed my Internet Explorer 7 also...like completely crashed it. Just keep in mind that the vast majority of people still use IE...

This one's for you duder:

I mean, my programming teacher and the jury would completely DIE.

Sounds like a pretty good way to do it, and like a pretty awesome project. You could write from the client side to your database using other methods besides the fscommand you mentioned, but whatever works works.

I'm really glad Tom decided to give The Calvin Carcass series some due credit by showcasing it on the front page. I highly suggest checking it out, it's a classic for me since it's one of the first great movies I remember seeing here. It's from 2004 and just has this classic flash kind of feel to it, no photoshop frills and it's got great animation, plus it's just a hilarious concept to boot. Check it!

That was really well done and funny. It was cool to see his art style progress and become more refined through the episodes...I hope he does more.

I haven't;
advice on what exactly?
Is he an aspiring flash artist? lol.

I don't want to get into details, just in case he's serious, just wondering if he mass spammed people, or if his PM to me was sincere.

I thinked you switched a D for a V in HIV/AIDS. On a related note, I just watched RENT.

New game contest, pretty flexible rules, except that you have to use some pre-made avatar library, which might just be some coders' dream come true. $10,000 first prize:

heh, isnt your day job making corporate flash games? :P

Yeah, that's why I said "independent flash games" :-P

On a similar topic... Im releasing a game soon, found a sponsor and all that... The only thing is, she wants a small logo for the website on the HUD... This is something I am pretty against, and although they have made a good offer for the game, I feel its taking the advertising too far. Ads scattered all over a game can make it look tacky and ruin the experience, and I really dont want to do that.

What do you guys suggest? whats a good way of saying "no I dont want to do this" while still sounding friendly and keeping the sponsorship deal?Anyone been in a similar situation?

Yeah, as mentioned above, tell them politely you're against it, and if they insist, quote them something ridiculous on top of their normal price to do it.

Cool, I thought you were whining, but now I see what you really intended. I agree that you may as well grab the money you can, but I don't ever expect to be quitting my day job to make independent flash games, so there is still a bit of creative/artistic pleasure I get from doing my own stuff.

Ha ha, people act like NG owes them something. Your game was on fp for a long time, and the only reason it didn't blast off was because of things that were all within YOUR control.

It's a project you should have done out of love for NG, not for fame and recognition.

That looks truly amazing. I didn't realize you were such a good artist!

This submission needs more attention, it brings up some important issues:
