Title: Making games with flash?
Post by: poop743 on Sun 17/10/2004 17:41:34
I am sick of the games made with ags. I recently started to use reality factory. I created soem 3d looking graohics with ease and made a cruddy first person shooter in about two weeks. Yes, a 7th grader made an fps. Has anyone ever made a game with flash? Is it easy to use, or hard to script? I have seen a wide variety of cool game made with flash. Does the flexibility give it a big learning curve?

Please give me some feedback

Flash games are quite difficult. I've actually borrowed a book from native LGM on the subject and was blown away by the level of difficulty. There are many tutorials on the internet that are pretty easy to follow, but you cant stray far from them, so anything you produce will be pretty generic.

It doesn't surprise me that a seventh grader made a cruddy FPS. I've seen games in Blender made by 10 year olds.

It's gonna be way easier to do something in AGS rather than flash.

flash is good for all sorts of stuff.... I wouldnt say Adventure games was one of them...

Also most of us have um... 'purchased' flash...

I think your moving a little fast for the rest of us if you're sick of AGS after a month.

I'm no expert but I'm not sure what Flash would have over AGS in terms of adventure game production, except on-line playability. If it's adventure games your sick of though, I say go ahead and use Flash.

I've programmed some stuff in Flash. It's bothersome, over-complicated and counter-intuitive. But then I suck at programming  ;)
Slightly off topic: a browser plugin to play AGS games online would be quite nice though...

Poop, i'll draw you characters and backgrounds for an ags game if you pay me. Send me $50 (USDollars) to my PayPal account and i'll make everything for your game, wont even ask for a mention in the credits.

The deals always there ...

I can't understand why people dont want other people to be in theyr credit list?

when i play game, my favorite part is the credit part(like in mi1 and in mi2) propaply because of the music
when i create a game i want the credit list be long, not just one person but maybe 10 or mori have always found how i am going to make the credit list, even found the right music but the proplem is that i am only one so the credit list would be like 1 second :-\

Well, finally. Someone who shares my passion for opening credit sequences.
I'd be happy directing those things for Movies/TV/Games for the rest of my life...

i learnt flash some months ago, And i can say that every kind of scripting is difficult once you work with it in a "deep way". Look for freeware, you will find a lot of programs that can use in order not to pay that.i`m not refering to a crack, i refer to other tools to work with flash: look for them up  := !
