Check it out for yourself: Election Madness

The focus was not getting up close and personal with the fighting, but to rather create a chaotic field that required quick thinking of which attacks to do next and so on.

hey thanks that sounds cool...if it could be a platformer...I'd make high altitude levels so he can fly around some hehe

What exactly do you want help with? Figure out how you want the ship to move and implement math. If you can't use math refer to Google.

thanks that made sense (the coding) and as for you GustTheASGuy...go suck an egg bud

ok I have this little spaceship that follows your mouse...I'd kinda like a tiny drag with it...as in it when you move the mouse, it's engine kicks on and moves a tiny bit slower than your mouse does but still follows. The second part is it has to turn with your mouse movement....as in when you move it down, the spaceship turns down instead of just moving down but facing up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

well... now your getting into trig, and im not that smart...

haha me either...well I think I am going to change things up....something I'm comfortable with..

just make a mc of him walking up the slope and the code that makes him stay on top of the slope add this
gotoAndStop(frameofhimwalkinguptheslope)
;}
else{gotoAndStop(frameofidleperson);}

well the slopes are curved..

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do for slopes, I've tried a few tuts but none allow the character to tilt while going on the slope...I don't know what to do...

The rules. Read for yourself

I'm not advertising...repeatedly...how many times did I post a link to arcadehog.com? I really dont give a crap about any possible traffic coming from NG...I get plenty elsewhere...so anyway

two people with their panties in a wad..get a life and read threads that pertain to you

hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahah you idiot.

it's so funny as I go to "free game's for your webpage" area's on those sites. Check them out some time bud. ;)

I wanted to create a thread here for those who run their own arcades, or portfolio pages with games...

I have one myself @ arcadehog.com...it's funny, it's been growing pretty fast so I had to get a huuuge server last night for it..some might see a blank page, idk...DNS should be done updating.

Anyway! Lets talk about stuff, tips, how you get traffic, what you like to focus on, anything!

I'll start it off...if you own one and update ever so often, how often do you, and do you tend to update more of a genre of games over another :) lol I have that problem

yeah! Its like a curtain when he will be loading up...

yeah I guess...I might change it up...but the hand is there, I can't mash the red ball down into his hand too much ;)

thanks! I just love the character...he originally had beedy eyes..I made him...evil. lol

eh it took me a while to get the coding down...the art...a while to get right...I mean I could simply go with just a loading.... on a background...but I'd rather heavier brand the game ya know?

cool

thanks!

btw, it's made for www.arcadehog.com

and also...I just realized I need to move the loading...... text to the left a bit more.

I need some reviews here on my preloader, what I could do to make it better.

Any constructive criticism is appreciated.

BTW...the hog boy, when preloader is placed on an actual clip or game, he will load from bottom up...initially black, then startes to show color as it loads. Do you like that idea?

remember whoever submits a logo...watermark it ;). trust me...nothing against you dgtl....but I hope you will agree the web is full of dangers

ah thats cool, where's it at?

What ad provider do you use? $2 on 100 visitors is very good...

valueclick+adsense

If it does boil down to just ad revenue, their success must come down to very well targeted/optimized ads.

Well you're thinking of it as them paying per click, advertisers can also pay per impression, which is just the number of pages that load with their ad on it.

and besides, if their contests have been increasing in money offered, and their sponsorships have been increasing, it is obviously implied that they are making more money then they are spending with the ads they have.

very true

I wouldn't be so doubting....I have a website...and with optimized ads, I get over $2 for every 100 visitors..

Lemme see the graphics, then I can give you an idea from those

But you have no flash on NG yet D:

hehe you saw that chicke character n____n

hahah wow that is great! very good...I never thought about crossing a game...and bluegrass! yes! thats perfect n___n

It will be a big project...I'm trying to establish another game at the moment...a little less complicated...so once I have a bit more control over AS...I'll be on to it :D

I have the artwork drawn up, all kinds of cool stuff -
character
goodies
powerups
going to do enemies...

but anyway, I'm just curious before I start the game itself what kind of adventure platformer are you looking to play? The character is a farm animal..I won't reveal just yet, but he can jump...and maybe attack...I mean...most platformers in this genre - you jump on the enemy to kill them...sure I might add that, but I want the character to be able to kick backwards...just a little something to enhance gaming..

how do you like em?
*just run and get to the end of the level > next level
*puzzle kinda
*multi floors or just one main ground...<kinda simple with that...limits more hidden objects :P

any ideas would be appreciated!
