My first game

My first game is about finished. I should get it released soon. Finally I will get down to hunting a sponsor. Been busy and haven't gotten into that very carefully yet.

I know I said 'one week' several weeks ago :), but this time I will try to get the game sponsored&released within a week.

Edit 23.2.08: Game delayed, again :P. But on the brighter news, I GOT A SPONSOR! The deal is made, but I'll have to make some changes to the game first.

Edit 15.4.08: Yea, still not done :P. I can only comfort myself that the delay is not my fault. All the coding has been done long ago, with only few tweaks here&there left. Now I just have to wait for the artist to finish up the graphics. That is though taking longer than I expected... I'm not a happy camper :P.

Edit 18.4.08: The gods have heard my bleeds and the graphics have been shipped to me :). The ball is on my court now. I will devote the following weekend to get the game as ready as possible. With some luck the game will be out in a week (fingers crossed :P).

Edit 11.5.08: I'd say the game is ready. But there's some delay from the sponsor side. Hopefully it won't take too long :P.

Edit 24.5.08: Looks like we can forget the release in May... The sponsor is busy with other projects and I still haven't got the necessary info from him to set up the highscores and the sponsor stuff. With at least 5 release estimates gone wrong I'm going to make a realistic date this time...

Edit 26.6.08: Finally looking good. I've got pretty much everything done. Only thing left to do is to play the game and test that there isn't anything wrong. That and some very minor polishing. Though I don't expect there to be anything wrong. I've already play tested the game a lot while making it. I'm a trial&error kind of guy. I do something --> play to see that it works ----> fix it if it didn't, or move on if it did.

[updated] Release estimate at the moment: hopefully within 2 weeks of my previous edit-entry.

try to do it in more than a week.. im not bothering on checking it ;)

You didn't seem to understand. I was talking of the time it would take me to get a sponsor, that being about a week. The time I've put to make this game is about 2.5 months.

Why do you need a sponsor?

ProfessorFlash 2008-02-21 18:13:34

Well, for the money of course :P. And maybe the sponsor will also help make my game reach a wider audience than it would without a sponsor.

whos the sponcer and realy i thoght you made a gsame before?

ProfessorFlash 2008-03-01 01:24:14

You will find out the sponsors when I release the game.

And No I haven't released any games before. What made you think I had?

You want to get it sponsered for the money? There's more to life than money, such as FUN.

ProfessorFlash 2008-03-07 10:22:15

Money, that's what I want. Money, that's what I need. Money, that's what I love.

swordkill 2008-03-07 10:24:17

Actually, I am making a game myself, can you tell me who this big cheese who is sponsering you is? I would like to get it sponsered : D

ProfessorFlash 2008-03-07 10:24:17

Heh, knowing my sponsor won't help you :). But check this site for example if you need help with getting a sponsor:

"You want to get it sponsered for the money? There's more to life than money, such as FUN."

What a lame response to having a sponsor....money is very important. Who says fun can't be had making it either?

Anyway, you posted on my newbie thread and I'm just checkin' ya out saying thanks.

Btw, how much money do they pay for sponsorship if you don't mind me asking. I asked the guy who made Valahalla Knights II and he vaguely told me thousands of dollars.

ProfessorFlash 2008-04-06 07:47:46

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to reveal the exact sum what I got. Some sponsors don't like if people tell what they got. So ye a few thousands would be the right amount in my case aswell :). I will have to split it with an artist though.

Good luck with the game, Doc! Send me a link to the game on its release so I can check it out!

Thanks. The game is about ready. I just need the necessary info from the sponsor to set up the highscores and such. Hopefully he'll get back to me with the info soon.

Hopefully the game will get frontpaged and you can catch it from there :). Hehe, but sure I'll let you know when it's out there :).

Eh? Thx for the info :P. The title is "My first game" after all... But if you'd like to split hairs, then I can list loads of my flashes. I just haven't submitted any of the "trying&learning" -crap to NG. Too bad not many share my views on that...
