My first sponsorship went very smoothly. :)

Game: Intenub

I know there's a stigma attached to giving prices, but I know it was really helpful for me to see other people's so I'll give mine. :)

Price: $550
Terms: Exclusive Branding, No In other Game Ads.

applecartgames.com
Game sponsored was Intensub

After contacting ArmorGames and recieving an offer I wasn't happy with, I messaged a few others and luckily managed to catch Greg's interest.

(Out of five)

Seriousness ++++
He was very professional, but the game was actually his first sponsorship so I had to explain a few things to him.

Money ++++
I am very happy with the money I got for the game. It was pretty much exactly what I was hoping for.

Efficiency +++++
Greg was EXTREMELY fast in replying to messages. Speed is a hugely important thing for a sponsor to have in my book, and Greg and I were able to start, agree to, and Finish the deal within 3 days.

Social +++
We didn't really talk much asides from business, but he seemed nice.
Of course, that could have been influenced by the fact that he was offering me money. :p

Overall, a very positive experience with applecartgames.com.
I highly recommend getting in touch with them if you're looking for sponsorship.

I'll do that. He's not online right now though...
In the meantime, does anyone else know a good .swf (free) host?
Sorry to bug you all I really should know one, but I've always just stuck with Denvish.

I've been trying to upload 2.5 MB .swf file for the past 20 minutes. Every single time I get this message:

Warning: getimagesize(http://denvish.net/ulf/1008 07/59965_newiiregame.swf): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found in D:\hshome\denvish\denvish.net\ul\index.p hp on line 33

Note: "stream: No space left on device in D:\hshome\denvish\denvish.net\ul\index.p hp on line 47"
I think Denvish is out of space on his server. Has anyone else had this problem?

RelaxArcade, You haven't responded to my PM for 3 days. Is something wrong?

I am typing with my eues closed. I am rly good at it!

(Awesome!)

I would enter but... I'm brainstorming for my next game. (Brain Dead from working on my previous one.) :P

You are all ridiculously bad spellers! Everyone knows the plural of Moose is Mice. Now go read a dictionary!

Well I used to like em so here:

In The End.
Papercut.
(basicaly anything on Hybrid Theory)

Why were you looking at their butts in the first place?
O_O

Play my slightly unfinished Mac vs Windows game

That is my opinion.

Intriguing but... People don't really care if you make a whole thread just to give a little information about a "secret" game you are making. The game will speak for itself. My suggestion is that you put a little teaser for it in your sig.

Where is RelaxArcade? They haven't been on in quite a while... O_O

ZeroScount, what do you mean by ' too "professional"'?

Too professional colors - On most professional banners etc. are the colors light etc. - I just don't fell that's the best for a Flash game site.

No Idea where you are coming from... Please clarify. Proffessional Colors?
"Nope nope, you can't use blue. IT'S TOO PROFFESSIONAL!"

A agree, you have a lot of overpowered spain present in this game. :P Otherwise, It could end up being really good. Just make more stuff possible on one turn.

You can create cursors for Windows, but that is seperate from flash. If you export it as a .gif, you can probably set it as your default Windows cursor.

Woops, you are right. Sorry. *embarrassed*

...Of course I am aware that pressing Enter in the .fla will play the frames! Is there really no way to make it so that users cant cheat to the next level by pressing Enter?

Well, since he brought it up, I was wondering how to disable the ability to press Enter and skip frames. It's one of the few things holding my game back. Thanks in advance.

I think it's a great Idea. However, I doubt many people would agree because everyone seems to think there are too many (insert day here) days. Personally, I think if you got a mod or two on your side, it could be pulled off since it is such an original Idea.

I can understand teh_pain you went through when your .flas got deleted. I liked the art style. I think it would have great potential for a game. What type of game wouldit be? RPG?

Ultimate, if you want to know the truth, I originaly posted saying Jay-Cees was better but I mixed up the names. I thought Jay-Cees was the one with the three flower petals thing. I'm not just saying that to make you feel better. If I needed someone to make me a slick preloader or intro, I would ask you. Honest.

Ultimate7777, Don't give up! I really like yours a lot. In fact, taking Jay-Cees out of the competition I think you should win it easily.

i actually enjoyed the animation, but for a storyline just rip something from a random webcomic, no one will ever know

Thanks, maybe I should

^_^ I vote for Ultimate7777

How ironic you would use that image!

Have you guys invited KaynSlamDyke? I'm pretty sure He lives in Over in that general area. I think hes in Derby. Sorry if that's nowhere near where you are meeting I've never been to England, although I have a british flasg next to me at this very moment to remind me how awesome their accent is. :p Sounds like Jolly good fun! Too bad I'm to young/broke for that sort of thing.

Actually, It the fault belongs to inneficient coding, and complex vector art. I am a HUGELY inneficient coder, but my games tend to come out okay. Just don't overdo it on the if statements. :P

I would personally choose Jay-Cee's intro. It's clean and stylish, which I think fits in with your sites overall theme. By the way, I finally made a siggy :)

Ferretter: it says "Both movies must have the same parent movie clip." The airplane, tank, and mines do not have parent movie clips. I'm still stuck. Or am I missing something>?

Alright I made a holder symbol and put the landmine inside it, but It won't duplicate at all now. here is the code I am using:

minecar.dropmine = function(){
duplicateMovieClip(_root.mineholder.land mine,"landmine"+i,i),
setProperty ("landmine"+i, _x, _root.minecar._x);
setProperty ("landmine"+i, _y, _root.minecar._y);
i++;
_root.minecar.minetimer = random(50)+20
}
What did I do wrong?

I'm sure Someone can help me sort this out. Anybody?
