So, as Tom said, there is a Max Games Contest, and the prizes are awesome! Not only there are 10 places for the best games, but there are bonus prizes, like best RPG game, etc.
I'd figured i would be cool to give it a try, but since its about making a flash game, and me being so new at actionscript (also my patience is very low when fixing bugs) I'm trying to find a partner who's willing to work with me. :]
My drawing skills are pretty good, and i'm getting better at animating, so i need a guy who has plenty experience at actionscript!
I have ideas for the game, but if you choose to work with me I would love to hear some of yours!
If your interested post here your questions or PM me!
