Mochi Media et al also offer a distribution service (and the ability to update it).No external loads – embed everything you need. For this to work properly, your game needs to be one file.Distribution is almost an article in itself, so I'm just going to sum it up with some snazzy bullet-points like this is PowerPoint (lol). Making cocaine in Flash form and filling it with the most psychologically seductive ads available won't help if no-one knows about your game. Use whichever seems natural and doesn't border on spamming the crap out of people.įor ads to truly be effective, you need to get your game out there. There are other services, including Adobe and Google themselves, so search around if you don't trust me.Īds come in different forms such as preloader ads (the most common), in-game peel-away ads, or inter-levels ads.

Or at least it will if you have a passionate artist.Īlso keep in mind the audience that's going to play your game.

This makes you irresistible towards women. However, even though $500 would just about buy you a Mars bar in Paris, it's still a start towards being financially independent. My conscience is also going to make me point out that 56% make between nothing and $500. Yes, that's right 1% of devs make $25,000 or more each month. The actual presentation is an interesting read, but to jump straight to the point, this is what you can expect to make each month: A few months ago, Mochi Media (who you'll become intimately entwined with later) did a survey into the current state of the Flash game industry.
