I absolutely love it.

And you chose a good time to release it.

Well, they did release Flash Element TD 2 and Multiplayer DTD (and some other games), so they're probably doing alright.

While we're talking about money, how much money is there in making Flash games? Enough to quit the day job?

One article said the creators of Desktop Tower Defense were making about $8K per month,...

I like the particle effects also; it's a pretty good Pong clone.

Sometimes I thought the collision detection was broken when I tried to deflect the ball with the corner, and the ball went right...

Doesn't seem to work. After clicking on "1 Player", nothing ever displayed except "Moko Moko".

That's just the post I needed to get started making games without spending $500. Thanks! A blog that helps people get started from scratch is a great idea.

Do you mind if I add your feed to my...

Yeah, I agree, the design sucks. I haven't spent much time on that yet, and it's not my best ability to begin with.

But I'll fix the radial menu in Opera, thanks. (Edit: Fixed.)

Cool, thanks.

If you know of any feeds I should add, let me know.

Squize, if you read this: I tried to send a PM, but your mailbox is stuffed. Do you mind if I include your blog in that aggregator?

I've been working on a project in my spare time for a couple months now, and it's far enough along that I'm trying to decide whether it's worth putting some real effort into.

It's...

I like it once the levels with enemies and traps start. Add more like that, and fewer of the early simple maze levels.

Ahh, I see. That's an interesting idea, thanks. I'd guess it's more than a bit more difficult to program, with text editing, integration with the server, and integration with every possible Flash...

Well, I'm making a portal. (I hope you all won't throw me out now.)

I wanted to learn more about web development and recommendation/collaborative filtering algorithms, so I started working on a...

I'm trying to create a "Heads Up Display" - an overlay layer with instructions, notes, related games, comments, etc. I'm using wmode='opaque' to get HTML to appear over Flash, but that fails: it's...

It's beautiful, and AI isn't bad either. I love it.

Is it ready for the public?

Seems promising. I imagine you'll have levels with increasingly complicated obstacles?

Some thoughts:

It's too easy to just fire over the obstacles.

Hitting close to the center of the...

I think this worked out pretty well for you. The publicity you've received is probably worth more than a license anyway.

Yet I'm amazed how many people defended the theft of your game. Some...

But professional hackers have better things to do than hack Flash game high score tables.

I found a copy of your page for this game from February 2007 (but not the game itself) on the Internet Archive. That might be helpful.

I think it's awesome - one of the best physics games I've played.

Though I did think the way the discs moved on the conveyor was odd.

The difficulty was just right until level 15. I figure I...

Sad story. Dugg - I hope that helps.

But I fear you'll probably need some proof that you didn't steal their game. There is a reason lawyers share a name with merciless, cold-blooded killing...

Streamed gaming will still need a platform (software or hardware) to provide controls and connect to the server. The Flash player is everywhere and supports streamed video, so it's the logical...

Of course, processors are advancing too. They may eventually be so fast and cheap there won't be any need for rendering at a server farm. In ten years every electronic device, from televisions to...

Yeah, I figured the cloaked ships were probably a bug.

I saw several red dots on the radar screen where there was no ship, and near one of those dots, an enemy ship would appear and disappear,...

That was fun. I look forward to the drag and drop inventory system :)

Are the invisible scout ships supposed to be cloaked?
