I've been playing around with more User Generated content in some of my casual web games recently. My sites are fairly small (thousands to low tens of thousands of daily users), so this advice probably will not hold for huge websites. In general I've found giving the users a little more freedom t…
I've been busy reskinning games with a Christmas theme. Holiday themed games seem to do particularly well on the Google Chrome Store. The Chrome store is a great way to get free advertising for your games. Essentially everything on the Chrome Store is nothing more than a bookmark. The cool thin…
A quick reskin of my Mahjong Game (ok, it wasn't so quick), and voila. I have created Halloween Mahjong. In some ways I like it a lot better than traditional Solitaire Mahjong like I've created some of my other web sites. Instead of having flowers and seasons in the Honor Suit, the Honor Suit ha…
So I've finally finished up Mathjong and I put a Mathjong Chrome App on the Google Web Store. In general I've found giving away a game app on the Chrome Store is a good way to get a little extra promotion for a game I've created. So far I haven't had any game changers this way, but it seems to be…
I recently got a Nexus 1. It's my first Android smart phone (I have a Xoom Tab). What I was hoping to do was use my Nexus 1 with my AT&T plan without having to get a data plan. I've got a weird plan family share situation where I only spend $10 / month on my phone, but it has no data plan.

I just wanted to see if I can add an object tag into my journal.
I've been able to do it by clicking the 'insert media' button,
but for some reason the .swf is showing up insanely small.

So a while back I made this website to allow users to embed games into their own websites. One of the things I wanted to test was Google's ability to index iframes. I know they are able to index object tags, and on sites like my card game and solitaire websites, I have been able to acquire some d…
So, I've decided to take my Mahjong Word game and tweak it into a Math game, which I cleverly named... Mathjong.
It's still very much a work in progress. I need some new art and sound effects. Right now almost every thing is a rip off of my previous game. Also it badly needs a scoring system, but…

So the Chrome App Store seems to be a pretty easy place to get a little extra traffic to your web game. It's pretty easy to create a new app. You have to sign up for a Developer account, I did this a while ago so I can't remember the details, but it was pretty easy. They do ask you for a credit …
I've been pretty bad about blogging and working on the Side Scroller I intend to build... but in the mean time I built this Word Mahjong game. If you're a chrome user I also created a Chrome App Version. Please give me a 5 star rating
The game seems to be doing reasonably well so far. I need to …

I put together some bitmap art to build the platforms. The top grassy part of the platforms will be repeated along the x axis with an end cap on each end. Below the grassy part of each platform will be an earthen portion. I made it to look somewhat like the Super Mario Bros Wii game. Right now …
So recently I've been thinking that I'm missing the boat on tablets. I've heard that it's not difficult to port flash games to the Android platform. I've been toying around with the idea of getting a Xoom and publishing some of my games to the Android store. The problem is I'm already buried wi…
Ok, there isn't much to see yet. I want to blog often to make sure I at least make a little progress every day. Today I took a little time to define the interfaces. So far everything is done in Flash Builder 4, but when I get to it, I'm going to use the Linkages in Flash CS5 to link Movie Clips …
Right now I'm leaning heavily towards doing my game engine as a Side Scroller / Platformer type engine.
Right now I'm thinking of something that could be used and extended to make old school games like Super Mario, Metroid, or Sonic, maybe with some features of a newer game like Super Mario Brothers…

So I would like to start an open source flash game project... (or projects).
I've been writing flash games for a while now, and I think it's about time I started contributing some open source code.
Here are my potential projects:
1.) Flash RPG (Old School SNES style)
2.) Flash Strategy Game ( Something…

I've reskinned the black jack game I wrote earlier... and also put in a few new features. All new vector art. I'll need to get it up on GDS some time soon.
I think it looks pretty... but that may be due to my lack of artistic talent. [wink]

Chris has decided to reskin some of the more prominent ships in Epoch Star.
Here are the reskinned starting shps he gave me today:

Has anyone ever watched GamePlay HD? Supposedly Epoch Star is going to be mentioned in some upcomming show, and they want me to sign a release.
I don't get the channel, and I was wondering what it was like.
