I would if it was a bit closer to completion, and I wasn't so weary of posting my .swf files where everyone can see/download em. I mainly need some input on gameplay balancing at the moment.

If anyone feels like beta-testing a game in the next couple of days drop me a pm.

Actually it's closer to 60, but the way human eyes process imagery doesn't compare to fps.

But yeah, next should either be a small flash game or exile 4!

Congrats on patchman 2 Duchednier, I enjoyed it and it's doing pretty good at the moment too!

Thanks, and happy birthday!

Anyone care to give me the link to the NG calendar? I lost it along my other bookmarks.

His last BBS post was also a month ago. You don't have a telephone number or anything like that? Who's in contact with the sponsor, him, you or both?

Ah like so... Hmm, you could randomize the values: So when (for example) Math.random is smaller than 0.5 you pick a negative x value, when it is higher you pick a positive x value. And you do the same for the y. But I'm sure there are smarter ways to do this.

Use negative values? Or values larger than the stage's boundaries?

Bacon is okay, but that burger is just sick.

IMO scary flashes don't work too well. So you either go for something gorey (like most horrors do nowadays) or you stick to something funny.

I think it would be alright as a mini-game is some bigger story typed game. But as a stand alone concept I wonder how you want to keep something like this interesting.

That or maybe you need to crank up your framerate, you can find your projects framerate in the properties tab.

Don't get me started. I wish Flash was a person so I could punch it in the face every now and then.

Can't wait to catch that one on MTV. I doubt they'll air it though because the lyrics are too complex for MTV's audience.

I'm gonna cheat by not showing the feet I think. Time pressure. Thanks for the tips though :)

I'm just waiting to see what Tom has cooked up. I've seen about 5 or 6 movies today and they were actually pretty darn good. It's fun to see a madness movie that's made in a different style.

I've been trying to animate a walking horse for the last hour or so. Incredibly frustrating. I hate living things.

That's what confused me at first as well. In fact I was just going through Snubby's personal info to look up his phone number and whereabouts. But I suppose Snubby is just the sponsor. Woops.

Anyway, 2000$ is not a small amount and surely worth some trouble trying to get it back.

This, and

Maybe you could contact the guys at http://www.flashgamelicense.com/, even if they aren't legal experts they still have a lot of connections with sites, including addictinggames, and a lot of experience. Maybe they could help you out.

this are both very good ideas. I would contact CE one last time before you start negotiating with Addicting Games or call his house though. Tell him what you're going to, put some pressure on him. I don't know what I would do in your shoes. At least we can make sure he never screws someone over the way he did with you.

Jesus, that's a low thing to do... If you're talking about the person I think you're talking about, I can't say I'm surprised. He has a bit of a reputation. Anyway, if you've never officially agreed on some sort of deal with him I don't think there's much you can do legally. Not that you would want to do as it most likely isn't worth the bother financially and otherwise. I'm sure there are regs who know a lot more on this subject than I do however. Some public pressure might help.

Make sure you download the Mac version, because that will work just fine on any mac.

Thanks for the thread guys!

Flash is available for Macs, if that's what you're looking for

Your game is impossible for drunk people.
