Yea these games are pretty sad. With farmville, there is no real goal other than to max out your farm. I suppose there is some social aspect to it, but I don't think that's why people keep playing it, I think it's just to pass the time, instead of watching cat videos or something equally as time-wasting. This game has literally no skill involved. I guess people like being drones? I don't get it tho...

I'm going to have to say it is a combination of funny and awesome, just because on a disgusting scale, there are things many times more disgusting out there, even on youtube I'm sure. Plus it's pixel art, how disgusting can it get?

that's rhetorical...

Speaking on internet problems, my router croaked in some mysterious way yesterday, got a new one today, can't transmit up two flights from the basement to my room, WTF. I know little to nothing about the workings of routers, modems, and internets, but seriously, it can't be that hard to make shit that works. They claim it has a distance of 600ft, maybe that's if it's 600 feet of open space.

Yea, it wasn't listed in the treasure hunt, is why I bring it up anyway, it's odd that it was frontpaged but not listed. Had high hopes for that pick.

Submitted this to treasure hunt, I swear when I submitted it it had only 5k views, did it get FP or something? I never saw it up there but you can see a spike in the reviews, and unless I remember falsely an extra 15k views.

The only reference I have for as3.0 help is this blog, emanuele feronato, but it's a lot of specific stuff I think, so likely not what you're looking for, still helpful though.

As for the art question, of cooouuurse the score would go down if it's unoriginal artwork. You may have to do some searching a seek out an artist yourself, or, create the engine, use some sprites to fill it in, and then make a new thread with that to show. That would have more appeal to artists then just a broad idea.

That was a impressive response length for the internet. My general advice here is to look at a few different pictures of the real life object you're trying to draw, make note of a few outstanding properties, and emphasize them in your representation, which is pretty much, 'draw it like it.' Try doing a google image search for gatling gun and looking through those. Your picture is pretty much the bear minimum of getting the point across that it's a gatling gun.

I don't pay any fees when I deposit to my bank account, but I guess it's because I'm in the USA. It is a bit strange that they don't accept paypal as a form of payment though...

It highlights the dissonance between moral business practices and effective business practices. Maybe it stops a few quality developers from going to him, but I guess the misdirected traffic pushes the balance for him. Plus he likely only cares about money, not image. A site run by one person can only go so far these days with kongregate destroying the quality flash game market, and I guess on the other side of the spectrum addictinggames destroying the cheap game market. It seems less and less profitable to be an independently owned game site with big names taking over.

Maybe click the link and read some words? I drew and animated the in game tom, including his beard..................

The cleveland show was really not bad. Trainwreck is not a word I would use to describe it. The fact that there is now a fat son, a baby, and a daughter is a bit lame in itself, because it feels like family guy, but the characters have enough variety to make it feel new. I also liked the fact that it had a coherent plot, sure family guy has plot, but this show kept to it much better. They do cut aways, but I never really got tired of those anyway.

Overall it wasn't amazing, but it made me laugh, and is definitely much better than I expected from what I heard about it.

How do you link to a position in a page like this? >_>

Hero is a pretentious 21 year old going to a fashion design college. Everyone he meets makes fun of him and he murders them all and wears their skins sewn together.

Madness plot is essentially who kills, where they kill, maybe a little why they kill, but mostly just the killing.

both? collect fuel and boosts separately and use them at separate times? or have the boost automatically trigger on pick up and have fuel be triggered by the player. fuel use gives more control while boosts give an extra effect of speed increase and excitement. You could even have both triggered by the player.

If you choose one, I think boosts would be more entertaining, gives a sense of suspense as you try and wait as long as possible before using them, plus it's more fun when you use one. This is where I often get plans jumbled though, trying to decide which combination of elements to use....

Do you have your action history set to a large number? I think that is a big part of why it crashes, I set mine down to 20 or something and it reduced my crashing a lot.

specifically better suited for the general forum where there is probably already a thread like this, but it's a pretty fun level, haven't see that spike jumping form used before

Eh, when I first started I always had people who I could ask programming questions, and I still do I just ask fewer and more complicated questions. Not that I am volunteering, I'm just saying there are people who wouldn't mind talking to you and answering your questions. Maybe try messaging some people that you see around the forum and starting up some friendly convo.

Thank you for shining some light on the situation.

Maybe putting a more alerting description of what to put in a short description on the flash submission page would help with this.
