Cool! I definitely need to check your games out sometime. Do you have anything published on the Web or mobile? You help out so much here but I don't recall you talking much about your own games.
I have been selling games to many clients who ask me for custom prototypes. I have not published any game yet, but I would like to do it. Since it seems that Google Play is not the more recommended site to publish a game, I am thinking about publishing some games on Steam and the Apple Store.
Also, I would like to sell Flash games to the main sponsors, but they told me now they want HTML5 games.
Therefore, I am glad of this news:
Don't worry, guys. The HTML5 export will be rock solid far in advance of the official end of life of Flash. The majority of the issues should be fixed with the release of 3.5.
Yes I can't wait for HTML 5 as well. You ever think of trying flash games on the portals? There can be a little money in it.
For example, my last game won some contest money on Kong, plus earned a couple hundred bucks for ad rev share. Since the game did well on Kong and Newgrounds I was able to easily land deals with Armor Games and Addicting Games.
I won't go into exact numbers but I profited over $1,500 for that flash game and made some good contacts in the industry.
HTML 5 is obviously much more preferred over flash at this point but they definitely will buy non exclusive licenses to flash games if they know the game will get views.
Honestly thinking about sponsorships. I feel like in some cases it might be more profitable to go unsponsored so you won't be restricted to certain sites. (Depending on the $$$ of course)
Take my last example. If I had gotten sponsored by Armor for, let's say, $1,250. That would have been great but I would have ended up not being able to put my game on Addicting Games because they require their branding on all the games on their site. The Armor Sponsorship would have prevented me from doing that and thus I would have lost the opportunity to land that deal.
I am getting close to finishing my latest game and I might end up going unsponsored (pending $$$) just for the freedom that comes with it.
But yeah HTML 5 can't come soon enough!!
