Kirk's just being a douchebag. Ignore him.

However. Considering that two of the mods of this forum are pissed (including me), and one is Luis who's barely managing to control this group of pyschos who we're calling the Regs meet, this thing's being locked until Sunday.

Please tune into the webcam. We're being amusing.

We're hoping that there's no delay in CC being released over in the UK.
Otherwise we've got a LOT of angry NGers at the hotel Luis is renting. I'm meant to be delivering Castle Crashers for the whole of the UK to play on Thursday...

I'll be downloading it to my XBox the second I can get it. Mainly so we can all play it at the meet.

Good evening. This is your friendly insane moderator who's had a lousy day at work. Yes. It's a Saturday. It's THAT LOUSY. So thank you guys for allowing me to permanban people.

Three people have been banned in this thread - two for encouraging piracy, and one for being stupid enough to quote the instructions in thier scathing reply to them [if you're all going to backseat mod, don't break the rest of the rules while doing it].

This thread will now be locked because it encourages the worst in people. Please direct all of these basic questions to the sticky at the top of the forum

Topic: How's the Newgrounds Flash Ads now?

Posted: 08/19/08 01:47 PM

Forum: Flash

People are getting wise to Mochi though - I knew instinctively after my first two games sponsored by them that my game's 'preloader' wasn't actually loading the game, but the adverts. And that annoys people when they work that out.

Any Firefox user can easily block thier site from accessing *.mochiads.com and disable the entire advert system in every flash animation on the net, and a similar hack must be available for CPM.

Personally I think the best method to monetising your game is to tie it to someone else's promotion, and approach them about integrating it into thier campaign for some small revenue exchange. Find a local band and do them a video or a game and ask if they want it on thier cd in exchange for invites to thier next gig or something...

Oh yeah... I forgot... people want to seriously monetise thier games rather than do this for fun...

Point is though, there are better options than adverts. Private sponsorship (not necessarily Flash Games Sites) are still the real monetry source of income, followed by contest winnings, your own Ads on your own site, and then interstital flash adverts.

Oi. Rae is merely trying to get details on what you want so she can gauge whether this is worth her time and energy, or to help other people make up thier mind. Art style is ALWAYS a problem here, in a community that bounces between single frame characters with clocks on thier faces to spriters to fine artists to 90's Disney standard animators to 3d modellers. It is not a small issue, and some people CAN'T duplicate styles.

You need to post some more specifics. Particularily the rate of pay you're offering and the rights to the piece. Be civil and gracious, since you're the one asking us for help

Okay guys. For those who are staying for the multiple day fiasco, I need someone who's got an XBox360 to lend a hand.

While I'm still bringing my XBox with Rock Band and (we can all hope) Castle Crashers, I'm a bit short equipment wise. Specifically, if someone can provide two spare controllers (for four player CC) and an extra Guitar Hero / Rock Band guitar, we'll have a full complement of geeky gaming controllers for hot steamy four player action.

Currently you're not in the same league.

Since Emanuele posted that guide to starting your own Flash Portal site, there have been a billion and one more portals opening up. Your site is nothing special at the moment, and therefore it is of my opinion it isn't noteworthy enough to bother with until you actually open up that sponsorship.

In addition, your attitude and the flamewar that's starting mean I'm locking this thread. By all means promote your site, but make sure you have something to promote other than a billion hotlifted games.

Yes, technically I'm classed as a 4 on that list (closer to a 5 since London really isn't THAT far from Derby, especially since I can now drive there). But I'm also bringing Castle Crashers and Rawk Bahnd.
Booked that week off now. Will book train tickets as well

Para: You're coming to UK Meet 3, right? We'll have a long hair and silliest hat contest. :p

Postcount +1

More and more, I feel like the time spent skimming this thread is just wasted. Was I wrong all along - is this just a place to herd off the spam and not a forum for intelligent discussion at all? :-(

Before posting a topic, please ask yourself the following question: "Am I making a post which is either funny, informative, or interesting on some level?" If you can answer "yes" to this, then please post. If you cannot, then refrain.

Before replying, please ask yourself: "Does my reply offer any significant advice or help contribute to the conversation in any fashion?"

QFT.

I've had to send a few PMs to people who are starting to post for the hell of it. Spamming is the least of my concerns - it's the pwning n00bs aspect I'm starting to frown on heavily here. Gust's done it for years, but at least all his posts end up having some actual grain of advice or a solution to the problem while he's insulting people - most people seem to be ripping threads apart because they've got nothing better to do.

Seriously people. If you really have nothing better to do or nothing to contribute to the forum other than trolling criticism or spam venting, turn off Firefox, IE and Safari, and go open Flash. Do ten minutes animation work instead.

I just wondered - how many people have experimented in formally designing non-electronic games, whether it's a board game, card game or whatever?

On that note, are there any big boardgame, RPG, CCG or traditional-playing-card-game players?
I vaguely remember Kayn exposing himself as an RPG player.

I do this from time to time. I'm a big fan of Exalted and most Steve Jackson card games. I play a lot of 40K still and know the rules to Magic. Could probably play L5R in a pinch as well.

I've tried planning my own NG Card Game, and then sat with the group of the second UK Meetup and done the same. I've tried board game design. I love it. But I don't make anything especially novel by the end of it and so consign the half concieved ideas to my mental scrapbin and move on.

The hard part is coming up with something clever without making it overly complex.

Kinda parallels really, really closely with CG design...

By good game I mean... not just some ordinary game like most games that are on the front page. I mean GOOD game B)

$10000 + Ad revenue is the current record - that's about three months full time work for an entry level staff coder. Your front page standard game rakes in about $2000 (Fermi numbers here...), plus about two weeks worth of ad revenue.

Yeah, it's possible. But a pain to explain without images...

What you need to do is split your texture quad into two triangles, so, say, assuming a quad ABCD with a dividing line AC making two triangles, ABC and ACD. You then have to work out the matrix transforms on two new quads - one that aligns to sides AB and BC (for ABC) and one that aligns to sides CD and AD (for ACD). Layer these over each other, and create triangular masks, and mask the first quad with a mask of ABC and the second one with a mask of ACD. Basic affine transformation using matrixes.

To increase the accuracy of the distortion, you split the texture quad up, and do this process over each iteration (so you split texture quad's lines up). To increase the speed, you use bitmapData instead of masks and movieclips.

Hopefully, Flash 10 will give us a bit more of a user friendly affine transformation set up. There are a few open source versions of this floating about at the moment - most like using AS3, but there's a DistordImage class by the guy who does Sandy3d floating about (and not permitted for commercial purposes). Alphabit had one on the forums (AS3). And Papervision's libraries use a similar algoirithm. I think Delta's got one as well kicking around...
