API_Glow

Hey guys, after a several month break from coding and Newgrounds, I decided to jump back into it with a simple API space shooting game. It started a a test to see how much I could remember (you'd be surprised what several months away from Flash could do!), then evolved into a game of sorts.

Having decided to make it into a game, I need help. This is where you come in.
First things first: You can't die (health bar will go negative), instructions are inside, and I have only 15 levels/waves programmed in, after that more and more keep spawning forever.

What I need from you:
-More ideas on enemies (I have bouncing, following, and bouncing/shooting).
-Music (any ideas for music that will fit it, from any source (popular song, Newgrounds Audio, ect.)
-Any comments/suggestions to improve the game (what you think needs work, needs to be removed, needs to be added.) Someone suggested Paragon, but he seems overused, so I'd rather avoid him unless I couldn't find anything else.

And if you think it sucks, and shouldn't be made into a game, go ahead and tell me so. Like I said, I started this on a refresher on coding, not with a game in mind.

Thanks in advance for your time.

-> To anyone who may remember me, hey!

Haha!

I've not actually tried MGO yet. I'll check it out.

It's better than the actual game IMO. Speaking of the actual game, I unlocked the Bandanna this afternoon. Was pretty easy. Getting the Stealth Camo would be easier if you could get more than two chaff grenades.

OOOH i get it now :) i had a feeling it was something to do with Metal Gear..

Damn i really need a ps3 :'(

Here's the game we're working on. LINK It's almost in beta stage ;)

Can you make it so we don't have to hold the attack button for him to attack ? And can you make the sword swinging faster ? Otherwise, its fun.

Turns me on.....

also, i want in on ALL MGO action

MGO

Yeah i think ill have to agree with everybody who's saying MGO is amazing. It definatly is. i love all the customization and all the little things to go with it. the thing that kinda got me annoyed was the annoying process to sign up. Game ID, konami ID, different passwords, ones mainly numbers, and the fact you that you can only have 1 character and you have to buy another. In the end, i still think its all worth it. great game

Just a question...

I have Flash MX, is it possible to put flash movies made in Flash 8 into Flash MX?

When you save it you might have to go save-as and select a flash mx doc, (i know u have to do that for flash cs3 to 8, im not sure if it does that here)

MGO!!! <3

we gotta set up some games, now in celebration of the end of metal gear, heres a picture of liquid ocelot i drawd!

Eet eez vat eye sai!

Which clocks do you guys think are well known enough to get mentioned in a flash? Thought if there was someone to ask it would be regulars. And I already have Strawberry, Carrot, and Orange.

Probably Rupee I reckon

Pretty sweet drawing. Especially the shading. The only fault I would point out is that the area around his nose looks kinda...lopsided. I dunno, theres something weird about it.

In 15 days my game got over 1 million views, and I only made $198 using NG ads :'(

Sorry I keep complaining, but I really want money >:(

Are you kidding, I'd be happy if I made nearly 200$. The thing is, did you get it sponsored as well? If not then I see why your complaining but its better than nothing :)

Thats why sponsorship, in my opinion anyway, is much better than Ads. Okay, so with ads you can still be making money way after the release, but I don't see much potential money as I don't think many people click the ads. I, personally, click the ads when I really like a game to show some support to the creator.

And sometimes the ads seem quite weird so I want to see what its about :P

Well my first game got me $200 and its pretty awful. If thats worth $200 then spamburger's game is worth a hell of a lot more.

you might want to try a combination

IE... get your game sponsored/licensed by any number of X sites that are interested (non-exclusive). Put an ad in the game, but do a url check so that any site that actually sponsored the game wont have ads displayed when loaded on their page. BUT, when that game is taken by other sites, the ads will show up there.

just a suggestion.
