I remember Kayns friend submitted a game to a competition E4 held and the top prize was something like £10,000 - but that was an actual game competition, this seems much more casual and I bet there will be no prize. More views & coverage don't hurt though, especially since you're taking (or have taken? in the process of?) it to the next step and making it a 'proper' game..

Voted anyway, just in case.

Imagine that!

For the summer I'm working in a local pub. It's quite swanky and situated on the Thames in a picturesque area of London. Due to its swankyness, the pub attracts a lot of fairly successful people (including quite a few British TV celebrities - Susan Boyle's come in more than once!

Anyhoo, it turned out that one of the regulars was a producer for all of the Gorillaz' albums and that the whole Gorillaz empire is run from one building. He found out that I was an animation student and wants to see my demo reel. Unpaid internship with Zombie Flesh Eaters? Yes please!

Here's the demo reel I gave him. I'd put it on newgrounds but it's an .avi. It's also very similar to my demo reel from 2008. Watch it and let me know what you think!

This is why the Japanese are so much more technologically advanced than us.

You're better than me then, only done hard on drums on RB2. Only ever played single player in RB1 (Billy No-Mates).

also Kirk, I must know, do you like the Pixies?

They're ok, not great, but pretty good.

So whatever happened to the sponsorships for smaller games? We (me and Argentin) have had a game out on the market for almost a month now, been mailing about 40 sponsors and putting it on FGL: We almost instantly got a sponsor on the hook, but his offer was very low, and since then there have been basically nothing at all.

Did sponsors at some point decide to only go for bigger deals, did the financial crisis significantly cut down their budget, is our game too sucky, or what's up? :P

Yeah I'm straying away from making those now. I'm lucky I got mine sponsored after 61 views.
Games like those are no longer appreciated nowadays.

Your game is fun, I guess they don't want small games anymore.

Also, who's this Wasim guy ?

he's campnorth's resident spammer, but we still love him.

It's probably a good thing for the industry if the era of the small, derivative game is coming to a close. Also from my own point of view as a selfish asshole - I am incapable of making decent small games :p

One more - this has to be read in all its glory.

Just realised I had .25p on Paddy Power so I've stuck it on Leeds to beat Watford, I could potentially double my money here. Damn straight.

I couldn't get past about the 25% point of level 1.

If you read it from a sponsor's perspective, its like a pitch. They are going to play it about a minute and decide if they like it or not before moving onto one of the hundreds of other games. Something has to catch them quick and things need to be right.

Gil is the generic money system in every FF game, i'm playing 7 on my psp and 12 on ps2 right now :P

And i wasn't too interested in 13, but i learned about the battle system and it looks AMAZING!

that game is sweet! but it's missing something, it needs more

knugen, a platformer with those control schemes would be cool.

Is it really that hard? =/ I realize you get good at your own games as you develop them, but I find it almost too easy.. Some of my friends said it was hard too, I personally don't really mind if it is, as long as it's closer to 'challenging' than impossible.

But what does everybody think, should we ease it up a bit?

Yeah, and I definitely realize this game isn't the kind of game that would bring in the big bucks in any way (I mostly saw it as good way to practice OOP and AS3). But the so far the only bid is $100 for exclusive, and that is to be split with artist and musician, surely we should be able to get more? :O

Hm, perhaps boobs?

100 bucks exclusive? i would say no. here's what i would do
double the width of the game and have 2 floating platforms per interval instead of one( i know they're not platforms but i didn't know what to call them) then have spikes or traps that the player cant hit.

this is just my opinion but the game is very linear right now and should have more than just timing and accuracy difficulty.

it's hard at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. It was also a fun game to play

Well congrats for getting entered, hope you win!
