Some of you may remember a couple years ago I programmed a game called "Senior Year" using a tool called RenPy. I've decided that since that version of RenPy has issues with Vista (the current version is supposedly just fine), and since there are a few changes I always wanted to make to the game, that I would follow up Santa Slays with a Flash port of that old game, which I'm now calling "College Romance".

I'm currently using Flash CS9 Pro, and coding in AS3 (ActionScript 3). The biggest advantage of this platform is that there are a ton of portal sites out there for flash games, and so it's not uncommon for a decent game to get $1-$2k in initial sponsorship, and then to make another $1-$2K over a year with the inclusion of ads in the preloader, and possibly between levels. The second "plus" for Flash is that you can place elements directly on the screen, then call that element in code. So no guessing about whether the images are where you want them, because you put them there.

Now, I'm not going to start doing Flash tutorials here, that's what my other blog is for. But this seems like a good place to talk about the "business" side of things. So as things move along I'll discuss how the sponsorship process goes, and which of the advertising options I end up going with. Of course I suspect I'll post other stuff here and there as well!
