Sorry I so rarely update this blog I’ll try and do more regular updates…
Anyways, I’ve recently developed and got the game smiley showdown sponsored. The flash version was sponsored but I’ve written 3 ports of this game.
There’s the flash version
The android version
Check this nice little review from a site called androidpimps Thank you! 
and also the Xbox version
The game is based off the Xbox
For the past month me and Richard have been working hard on the android phone developing a new app, Droid blocks.
The hardest part was making sure the app would work on every android device and customising the graphics for every screen size. I’m really happy with the final result 
Here’s a preview:
Main Features:
- Hours of gameplay
- 500+ levels!
- 4 different difficulty modes
- Great time killer
Check it out here
We’re just putting the finishing touches on the 3rd game in the Create your TD series and I’m pretty excited about it. Not only does it look fantastic thanks to richard who did all the games artwork (oddmachine.org) but now you are able to download your own maps as an .swf!! which means you can now play your games offline or even host it on your own site. It took alot of backend work to get the system up and running but taking a look at the results it was definately worth all the work. That’s not all that’s new in the 3rd installment, but you’ll just have to wait and see what’s new…
Alien SOS is a new game developed by me (programming and concept) and richard postelnicu (artwork and testing)
It is fun strategy game where you have to guide an alien back to its space spaceship by removing and adding blocks of the game, Alien SOS had been in development since the summer, although about half the time was waiting for sponsorship and getting the deal finalized.
It’s probaly my favourite game out of the ones i’ve made and I also had a lot of fun developing it.
Here’s a preview image:
Sorry for the lack of posts for last month, We’ve been quite busy developing a new game that will be be released within the next few months, meanwhile here’s a small game that we created in a bit less than a day.
It was sponsored by minijuegos.com for a primary license meaning that I can still sell sitelocked versions after its release.
Super Click Tester
Test your clicking skills and see how fast you can click, the super clicker measures your time and works out your click speed per second. Can you beat the average of 10?
You can also get the facebook app here. I’ll be making a tutorial on how to make a facebook app exactly like this pretty soon
Over the last two years the flash industry has changed dramatically, thanks to a few websites; small flash games have become a massive business that keeps on growing, this is largely because of the increase in portals/competition, high quality games and more people going online for flash games. A few years ago the only way to make money on a flash game was to find a sponsor, it would require e-mailing alot of the popular portals and most of time you would not even get a response or if you did the sponsorship offer wouldn’t be that much and not really worth it.
This is a post to show some of the ways you can make some money on your game.
Sponsorship:
Usually the most you can make on a game is through sponsorship, The easiest way of searching for a sponsor is to head to Flash Game License and sign up, then you just submit your game and get it in front of almost 1000 sponsors. Of course your game must be quite decent to get any sponsership offers at all, but what is great about the site is that you do not have to upload your finished version, you can ask for feedback from other developers while you are in the game making process for feedback on different parts of your game. Once the game is complete and ready to be seen by sponsors, usually you wait for about 2 weeks to a month for an
In my previous post I created a login screen in AS2 however in this version we’ll be creating one in AS3, which seems slightly faster, however a bit more complicated. I’ve also changed the create account script to add the ip address of the user.
Having the ip of users is useful to track down cheaters of your game. You can use an ip ban to stop the cheater playing your game, I’ll cover this in a later tutorial…
This tutorial is pretty much exactly the same as the last one(except for the script changes), So this tutorial assumes you have a way of testing out PHP and mySQL scipts, however if you need to know how to setup PHP refer back to the last login tutorial.
This is what we’ll be making…
It basically the exact same thing as the last one.
Getting started:
Step 1: Creating the flash document
Create a new flash file, select a new flash document AS 3.0.
Save this file and call it something like ‘login.php’
firstly, change the document class to ‘login’.
Now add the ‘Button’ and ‘textInput’ component to

Get ready for create your own TD 1.5! coming VERY soon
This series will cover some of the great things with flash, php and mySQL
In this tutorial we will create a user account login screen, and also a user creation screen. Using a mixture of PHP and mySQl.
preview:
this is what we’ll be making (sorry for the terrible graphics lol)
you can create an account, then you can log in with it
Step 1: Setting up PHP
Before you start creating the login screen you have to be able to run PHP, skip to step 2, if you already have a way of running a PHP file
PHP is a server side language that can’t just be run on its own like HTML, however you can install a set of tools that let you run it from your own computer (XAMPP), or if you have a server it’s very likely PHP is already set up.
Step 2: Creating the flash document
