no it doesnt say it all...
we need more details...

and what do we get?

oh man, so there are many thing I have to change
and its slowly getting less like battlefield (that what I want it to look like)
changing its logo will make it too different and unique

then my best option now is to contact EA DICE to let me use the items,

my dream come true lolz

I've already emailed DICE past few days ago, no reply
I didn't email EA (it's too.. you know... big time lolz)
an EA is just the publisher and even though they own DICE,
DICE is the more specific owner of the games

thanks guys, I'll find other sources for my sounds
which will let me use the items whole-heartedly
just by putting them in the credits
maybe the audio portal? haha

awww... I wanna make profit :(
then I'll just need to get my own sounds and music

read the contest guidelines on copyrighted material

the contest did not mention anything about copyrighted materials

oh and if the Battlefield name is also their trademark,
then I'll have t change the title too... =(

so I have a question about it, EA DICE trademark is......?
A) Battlefield # (all battlefields with number after it)
B) Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2142, Battlefield 2 (specific numbers only)
A or B??

if B is the answer, I can still have Battlefield 2003...
anyone get my idea?

wow I'm feeling I really need to learn AS3... I like AS2 =(

I am making a game, called Battlefield 2003 (My News Link)
2003 because the campaign is about the Iraq war "invasion"

now the problem here is,
I am using sounds and music from the original battlefield games,
you know, Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2, etc...
They are properties of EA and/or DICE...

I am using my OWN animation, scripting and everything in flash,
ONLY the SOUNDS and MUSIC are from EA DICE...
I have them in the credits section...
also their logo is in the pre-loader,
and in the intro, there is a legal notice about it

QUESTIONS
-it it legal to be published?
-is it ok to be sponsored
-entered in a flash contest?

see images:

me too I have so many ideas, too much inspiration too... at first...
but when I start the project and after a week or some days, I get tired and stop...
I am just too lazy to finish a game...

how come other users have gold avatar?
there are no gold background in the choices

Death on impact

interface is great, thought it was MGS lolz
I'm looking forward to its release =) it will be fun

wait what do you mean by vertical shooter? like platformer? platformer is horizontal,
if its top-down approach, then formula for distance is different from what he said

this is the best recommended option: ARRAYS

i don't think the topic starter is viewing this thread anymore
but practice isn't enough if the guy isn't really meant to be doing flash
I can see the string will in him, but not the skill

I make flash games because:

1. I like making other people happy. this is my main goal. i make flash games to entertain people. if I see them happy and enjoying my work, I feel fulfilled, even if I'm not sponsored or paid.

2. its a hobby, I enjoy animating and seeing decent drawing made by myself. Also, I like the success of scripting and seeing how everything works fine according to plan, that the code I typed is doing all these crazy and complicated stuff.

3. Yup it is a thrill and suspense going through the "under judgment" part of newgrounds. it is exciting on how you wait for your score and what the reviews will be.

i'm interested. pm me on what to do (topics etc)

nah, not really fun to play

one word. crap. if this is a submission, I wont blam it but i'll give it a 1.

is that a logo? a rounded rectangle sliced with something weird behind and you name in text with no style, colors or whatever.

and pretty bad layout for a website though. I mean the header's alright but the other parts. the colors hurt my eye, especially the combination of green and red. ouch.

try to use filters. if you're already using it then you're using it badly.

why are we fooling ourselves replying to this thread.
we can see clearly, the guy has an impossible dream

and the topic is too.... you know....
if there are abusive topics which should be locked.
this one's in the other side which also should be locked.

if the normal topic is 5,
abusive content is 10
this is 1, got me?

can anyone tell me a submission or link me yo a flash movie
about parents meddling into the life of the son or daughter?
you know, when parents tells you what to do etc...
or anything like that, in that topic.
thanks in advance :)

Then you figure out you need to do something about not being able to place the towers on the road, so you'll think of some hack and modify all the code you have for the towers. Then you need to fix the towers to the grid, then you need to prevent overlapping. You haven't thought anything out and you'll come up with the cheapest solutions in a pile. This doesn't last once you start doing more than small Flash toys.
There's this thing that thinking first generally pays. Take advantage of OOP and think of ways to manage the user interface in a centralized manner.

this is one problem with Gust, he jumps to conclusions
and makes fun of people without showing it in his words...
who are you to judge other people?

it happened to me one time, he also told me to change the way I code.
he said something that my programming is a bad style etc...
yeah bad style but only for you!

I am the programmer of my project, I use what I want!
I'll use the style I'm comfortable with,
not what YOU are comfortable with!

your aura should be evil Gust,
you think you're way is perfect?
everyone dont listen to what this guy says

maye he's not talking about the time interval of loading...
maybe he wants to make the TEXT "Loading" longer
free transform... or maybe the load bar?

whole body

what's your email?
I'll send you the armor for the whole body

here's a sample: the torso, hand and gloves.

well to temporarily put a period to this,
newgrounds API runs badly. (no offense to psycho goldfish)
but you cant blame them too.

newgrounds is one of the largest networks in flash gaming
and if they released an AD API,
thounsads will use it on more thousands of submissions!
which is bad because eCPM will be irregular etc...

one of the problems of NG API which I think they should fix,
they must add a "hold payments" option
so you can stack money from the previous months,
which will help you get money even if you didn't reach the $50 limit

an RPG? wow great dream for someone new to flash.
dreams aren't bad. you just cant achieve it that fast.

I just noticed, my avatar aura is evil.
I discourage you from making one.
it is so hard and complicated!
it doesn't just take skill of animating,
but also the brain of a programmer.

although I am not an animator who can help you
I'm sure someone who's interested would like to know the details of your script / story
it's important to know before we even bother to contact you.

in these kinds of threads,
we will see the newbie-like coders and the evolutionists...

AS2 PEOPLE
those who are afraid of changes
lacks skill to comprehend AS3 but denies it
more...etc

AS3 PEOPLE
who has been waiting for this evolution of AS
who uses AS3 just to be cool
more...etc

these are probabilities and possibilities,
I am not saying that they really are.

I'll go with AS2 but my movement is, use the language you prefer!
why do you need to convince other people to use your version of AS?
both of you can script and make a Flash project, why fight because of it?

happy birthday man! :)

I am still working on the walking cycles...
tell me someone finishes a character so we wont make doubles
kk thnx :)
