Most diseases, some others dont really mutate.

We actually had the first ever high score API back in 2000 but it got hacked to shit. Funny you mention that though because it's finally about to come back!

Thatll be good, id rather use a NG scoreboard than Mochi, dunno why

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FOLLOWING CRAP IM GONNA SAY DOES NOT MEAN TO OFFEND...

Umm so YES UnknownXL does have some quality games under his belt and i checked em out and there alright. But i did notice that his two most popular games (the ones with the trophies) were both collaborations. One of them had credited a guy with Additional Code, and the other one had a Programmer that wasnt OP. So basically what im saying is that OP didnt code (fully) his two most popular games. Im not sure of your other games though, i just thought id check out the OPs most popular. The other ones could be real good. I dont know. Anyways i still think OP should post better demo IMO.

PS good luck HDXmike and OP :D

SORRY IF I OFFENDED ANYONE :(

if you are going to correct do it right :]

Hahahaha umm, well ur kinda wrong there sonny, it is 'my four friends and I'.

OP - Usually when a writer asks for animators they get a bad response. Most animators can come up with there own ideas, its generally new artists without much experience who get writers. So u can either wait for an artist without much experience who probly wont make very good animation (but i suppose storyline CAN make up) or u can just abandon this... Or learn to animate

What about if the user is able to change the colour of their aura (eg, Dark, Light, Fab), but their specific contributions to whatever area on Newgrounds changes the way the aura looks (eg, if they vote mostly on movies or submit movies, then they have the light-beams[which the auras already have], but if they say contribute more to audio or something they can have 'wavy' beams, like radio waves, or if they contribute to art they can have bubbles or something

I didn't use any scripts for it but i made a bar and each frame and started filling it up bit by bit, then at the end i put start button

Im 99% sure the only way preloaders work is with a script. You need to use AS2 or AS3 to make the movie load before playing. You can learn AS or search for a preloader tut.

Thousands of sponsors go there to buy flash games. Getting a newgrounds/armor games sponsorship is probably one of the toughest sponsorships. Especially newgrounds because you don't see that many newgrounds sponsored games, as opposed to armorgames and similar sites.

This is a list of some past sponsorship prices just to give you an idea of what sponsors pay. Odds are, if your game was good enough to win the winter flash off, then you'd probably be able to get a sponsorship for higher than the prize.

Hey thanks man, i think that was the site where id looked a while back for info bout sponsorships and sponsors. Its a good site. With the flashgamelicense though, isnt the deal that you pay them 10% of your sponsor deal. If thats the case i think id rather just email sponsors and sort stuff out. I spose its easier though...

Anyways yeah seeing as ive got more time now im gonna spend a good amount of time working on a game. And ill be happy even if i only get a couple $100 cos i want to get some christmas presents :).

Thanks

Alrighty, knugen youve convinced me to go Sponsorsip. So who should i go to see for sponsorship. I remember seeing a list of some of the best/reliable sponsors but cant remember them. I know Newgrounds and ArmorGames. What are some others i should contact?

Firs of all you should have read it all, it wasnt that long. Second OP said hes using AS3, third it was kinda obvious he was looking for an artist, not a programmer. And you shouldnt request work as a programmer when your apparently a Noob at it.

Anyways yeah just read the whole post next time ;)

Hey everyone, basically i want to know what you guys think i should do. I want to start making a flash game, perhaps in 3D, and get some money for it. Now i was thinking of two things i could do...#
1) Make a christmas flash and enter it into the WinterFlash off
2) Make any game i want and hope to get sponsorsip
Also perhaps
3) Make a christmas game, get sponsorship from Tom and still enter into WinterFlash off

with the first option i dont have very long to start making an awesome game so itll likely be quite short. But i noted last years winner Insanitarium was short, really short, and it still won. The good thing though that is if i win, thats $500, which might be more than if i get sponsorship

With the second option i have more time, so it can be a more awesome game. But if i take sponsorsip i might miss out on the $500 i could have got by winning the flash off, and only get a couple $100 for the game. I could get $1000s possibly if its really good, or i could risk getting no sponsorship and missing out on the flash off.

With the third option i could get sponsorship from Tom AND still win. The problem with this though is what if Tom doesnt want sponsorship? And what if he offers me less because itll be in the runnning for more money anyway? And what if i dont win?

So yeah i want your opinions. Thanks

Bump, for above comment. I also want ur opinion on what i should make for Winter-Flash off, perhaps use above ideas but with an Xmas theme? Thanks

First, what role are you taking?
Second, you dont have any good examples of your own work, post some
Third, how much will animators or coders get payed

IMO i dont like the game. I dont know why but i just dont like it. The graphics and animation dont look that great and the gameplay, although you think may be unique, has been done before, on numerous occasions. This is all my opinion BTW, someone else could think that its the greatest game ever. I do appreciate your effort though by including the 20 minutes of cutscenes and a storyline, as well as an art gallery, and many levels. I think that a lot of content is a good thing. So to sum up:
- Dislike animation and art and certain gameplay ideas
- Like amount of content, levels, cutscenes, and hidden/unlockable stuff.

Good Luck

Daily second is questionable

Im just gonna take a guess here, but are the two users above me accounts by the same person..?

RedStreak = AtomicFish... :o

Well ive worked through some stuff and made the code cleaner, but im still having to jack up the framerate so ill have to work out how to make the games run faster. ill be posting an example soon. Anyways i was wondering what you guys think i should do with this engine. What sort of game, what do u like, dislike, etc. Heres a couple of suggestions and i appreciate any comments:
1) 3D board game where you move ur piece around the board,, do minigames perhaps?
2) A traditional 3D racing/car game?
3) A fighting game/ Arena fighting
4) 3D RPG, obviously not great but perhaps like Nintendo DS Spore.
5) Other

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the help guys but if i were to use those programs and run it from my desktop wouldnt that mean the scripts would only work while i run my computer???

well poor joe cant do anything bout it. Itll continue to drop because of all the 13 year olds (no offence kiddos ;D) who watch the flash every day and vote it low because they can ;)

i wasnt sure wether i should post this in programming or here, but because it also involves Actionscript ill post it here..

Basically i want to get started with using PHP and Actionscript, perhaps making swf files which can send emails, send info, etc, you know what i mean. I have a couple of questions...

1) I want to host some PHP scripts on the web which the swf file would be able to interact with. I also want these files hosted for free (of course for the learning phase). Any good FREE PHP hosting sites?
2) With Php hosted sites, do they need to offer hot-linking to allow the swf to interact with the PHP or....
3) if the swf file was say hosted here on Newgrounds it would still be able to interact with a hosted PHP, correct (eg send an email)?
4) if the swf were simply run on a computer and it was not hosted would it still be able to interact with the PHP (eg, send an email)?

Thanks in advance ;D

Sorry mate, but you dont have any flashes submitted, therefore not a high enough BA. Also its a bad idea to make a collab about someone elses idea/series, unless theyre good parodies. And finally nobodys going to want to send u their frames rather than their fla. Gat flash if u want to do it.

have you labelled the MCs properly?

At 11/12/09 04:00 AM, madnessassault wrote: i tried that but its a MC not a frame. (should have mentioned that) and it says "expected a field name after the "." operator

Putting it on the timeline is better but anyways:

// Place this code inside the Char MC
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.fence)){
_root.gotoAndStop(2)
}}

Put this code on first frame on timeline:

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(char.hitTest(fence)){
gotoAndStop(2)
}}

Ur code was wrong because you had problems with _root and defining objects.
PS if the above code is wrong please fix it someone (i havent used hitTest in a while )

i dont know the exact answer to that but from past experience, the coding which ive done on PC's (which works) sometimes doesnt work in Macs. Might be some random factor or Macs work differently, i dunno. Hope it helps

i like the nipples, if you can call them that ;D

Links didnt work but i found the movie anyways...

Not the best animation ever was it.... i thought it was okay at best, reviewers seemed to think it was good though. Maybe if u work on ur animation, synching, and art it would be better. I noticed the artwork was sloppy, especially round the edges. Perhaps in the future... ;)

PS - constructive criticism ^

you might want to post some of your own art and animation so artists can determine wether or not they think its worth helping you

BTW its unlikely youll find an artist willing to help, unless theyre bored ;)

@CloudEater - Hahaha, im not sure wether ur being sarcastic or not. U LIKE IT!!! hahaha
@Logidude - Thanks for link, reading through it now ;)
@liaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam - Yeah i was thinking that i might have to use the matrix class. Havent used it before though... Any tutorials?
@ ALL - Thanks for your help. I just want to get this done so i can start making something
