Can't get more oldskool than this. :)
Wouldn't mind if using Flash MX specifically was a requirement too! Mementos of that amazing Macromedia era before Adobe took over and it all started going downhill...
Oh also Congrats @Dungeonation! Cool to see there are still plenty of peeps that keep dabbling with these languages of old too!
Well, Ruffle had a hand in that. ;)
Anyone here manage to get an Xbox One Series X or Playstation 5?
I managed to get a xbox series x and s then my sister got a ps5

I'm not an "old pro" but yes definitely! I've been meaning to make a tribute to an old flash series from the 2000s that I enjoyed watching recently, this would be a perfect excuse to do so.

I've been weighing the pros and cons...
Pros for this Month:
Everyone is talking about Flash this month.
Cons for this Month:
People would be rushing to finish something around the holidays.
Flash still works in browsers so doesn't completely hit the point home.
Hard to promote because we want Tankmas ADVENTure to get a lot of attention this month.
Pros for January:
People have more time to prepare.
Ruffle will be further along and support more features (still AS2 though).
More space to promote (but we also have Pixel Day on Jan 23rd).
Flash won't be in browsers so it will really drive it home for people who see it.
I'm thinking we keep this pretty casual and just announce you can make something with Flash and post it any time in January to participate in this jam. Entries should have an interactive component (so not something better suited for the video player) and should work with Ruffle, so they can play directly on NG without additional software.
I'm gonna write up something more formal tomorrow and we'll make some promo art, but anyone could get started now if they want to tinker with making an interactive movie or game for next month. This could include animation collabs with fun menu interfaces. I'll also solicit donations for prizes, the current prize tiers will at least be this:
1st - $300
2nd - $200
3rd - $150
4th - $100
If anyone reading this wants to chip in, use the donation option on the Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards the Flash Jam! Current donors are @Dungeonation, @SrPelo and NG!
Also thinking name will be the Flash Forward Jam, because we're moving into the future with Flash.

Don't worry, almost everyone else did that too back in the day. AS2 had the mysterious ability of attracting a lot of novices and keeping them there.

Anyone interested in the flash jam, feel free to hit me up for any voice stuff :)
A journey of a thousand miles begins with complaining
I still have my copy of Flash CS6 so this could be fun!

A Flash Jam sounds like a lot of fun!
Hello from PropelAnims
I really need a better whistle...
I just want to say, I would absolutely participate in an actionscript 2 flash jam!
Absolutely, such a momentous occasion! If anyone needs an artist, hmu.
Flash Jam sounds awesome and since I made nearly all my games in AS2 I'd love to parcticipate. My question would be when the jam takes place, because in december I'm having my exam, which goes until 23rd of december. I'm becoming a certified web developer btw. Well in case I pass the exam.
Jesus Christ is awesome B) and so are you (as long as you love your neighbors as you love yourself <3)
This website is my favorite place on the Internet lol
IMO there should be separate categories for games and interactive movies in the jam.

I'm wondering at which point an interactive movie is considered a point and click adventure but I could try breaking out some movie categories... I might do that for today's post I'm working on, then hopefully we can boost them all with some more sponsors.

The plan right now is that people can release their Flash project any time in January to participate.

The conflicting thing here is that video format generally is best for non-interactive animation and lots of people are still producing their animations in Flash and publishing them as video - I wouldn't want to give people incentive to only upload SWF files for an entire month, when we much prefer MP4 at this point. That's why the push for interactive elements helps make the case for why the project needs to run as a Flash file vs video.
I'll provide some sounds if anyone needs weird electronic music.

Seems like you'll time it just perfectly! Hope work as certified web dev (fingers crossed) leaves plenty of leeway to also work on some awesome fast-paced creative arcade-like trademark intense Weisi classics now...
A Flash Jam would be fun. We need to live up Flash while we still can.
