it looks good man, why not send it? and uh call it.. hmm... ill get back to you

[EgoAnt]

Hahaha, I'm not going to send it because there's no way it will be done in time. Not only that, but I want to launch it with my new website, and when I launch the new site I'm going to make it multiplayer and include a ranking system.

I originally started it for the Games of Gondor contest, then the miniclip one came along and I decided to do it for that contest. Finally I just decided I'd keep it for myself. =)

Good. Better. Best.

Nice Game.

[helpmeplz]

yay i found this thread. i was just wondering if anyone knows whether or not your game can be on any site if you plan to submit it. it needs to be a 2 month exclusive so probably not right?

[Pugger]

That's what it sez.

[Dominicaninja]

Hey, sorry to bring back this OLD thread, but does anyone remember who / which game won it? Was it anyone from Flashkit? I disappeared for a few months but I remember really looking forward to seeing the result of it.

Congratulations to Damien from Tasmania, Australia, who won the US$3000 game competition

I wish I could see his entry... (or any of the entries for that matter...)

So, i put my game in your site, hoping that someone wants to license it, and while this dont happen i gets nothing, and people are going to your site to play my game and the money of the ads goes all to you

I also wonder if this Damien from tasmanian devil really exists.Bit of sceptic today...

If your refering to my post that got moved,

Yes basically I offer a place for developers to license their game and get exposure. I do however have a $5,000 yearly game award for the best flash game on my site and I plan to make it more money when the site takes off.

I am looking to be the main site for people to come and license games and I will be taking no Fees. All license fees from your paypal link will go directly to your account. When the site takes off I will license the best games to my site, to make sure the good developers are getting paid for their hard work.

sorry if it sounds rude, but better someone tells you now while you can still tweak your concept rather than you have a hard awakening later on.
To be clear, this is a developer forum and here are lots of developers who licence their games to game portals etc here.
There are tons of game sites really. And on none of those you pay money to be hosted, so taking no fees isn´t really a hot pluspoint.
Its the other way round,on most sites you get money for a game.
You can of course try to create a site where you don´t pay anything for a game (and instead have a contest for the best game of the year and give that a reward),that could work out in some way. It will just not be really that attractive for people making games commercially/for their living. Though sites like newgrounds show that there is a group of people who is doing stuff just for exposure, better don´t expect to be the main address where people go to licence games to or from in the way you stated.
If you´re really all into this i suggest you reconsider your concept and try to offer developers a sure reward per game so that the site gets more attractive to pro developers.

Tomsamson,

Thanks for your input. I won't be able to do much at the start, besides the $5,000 best flash game award for the developers.

When I said I take no fees, I meant I take no fees from 'licenses, sold off my site, all profit from licenses goes to the developers. I don't know if other sites do the same or not.

All I require is a valid PayPal account, and you have to be 18+, so you can receive payments, if your game license is purchased.

1.) You keep all ownership and copyrights to your game.
2.) You can license or have your game on as many other sites as you wish.
3.) You grant us use of your game for a minimum of a one year period.
4.) We host your game for you.
5.) All 'license' fees collected by your game, all go to you, we take no fees.
6.) We will hold the Flash Game Award every year and pay out $5,000 for top place, your game will automatically be entered and can win multiple times.*
7.) As we get more games we will be buying license from the developers and offering higher payouts and more pay places.

I am open to any good ideas you or anyone else might have to make this a better concept. Feel free to email me:
