I'm not sure if many are aware (or if its already been posted here).
But now everything can be used for commercial purposes even if its a student license.

I was arguing with the lady who sold me my version at the college. I assured her that you could not use it for commercial use, but she was under the influence that i could. Bothered her about it for so long, was not until some time later that i learned you could actually do it. Bit of a shack to my system, kinda felt like an ass for arguing about it for so long. : /

It has been discussed here before, but no harm in reminding people :)

Galaxy S running 2.2

I definitely didn't flash Captivate firmware and I definitely didn't softbrick my phone. Ok, I did.

I'm kind of surprised so many of you have android phones...I would have thought everyone, especially Glaiel, would have i-phones.

I just got a droid X with 2.2 and me and my partner (not THAT kind of partner) have successfully ported our next game to it (optimized for phone screen and phone performance) using Adobe Air.

We're gonna see if the Android Marketplace will be worth it or not.

You guys have any pet peeves or advice for releasing something in the Android Marketplace?

Demos are always nice. I think if you keep the price to around £1 I'd be more inclined to buy it. When I see apps for like 50p, I think of it as just spare change that I probably wont ever use. For some reason though, if I see an app for £2.50, I think of it as if every app i buy will be that much so in my head I'm thinking "Shit, if I buy 4, I've just wasted £10".

This exactly sums up my attitude towards buying apps.

I don't pay for my phones, my father does <3

I can still see why people would feel that way, though.

now i feel spoiled with my tiny ass qwerty keyboard and 1 megapixel camera....

When I touch the screen on my phone, stuff happens!
Normally not the stuff that I want to happen, but stuff none-the-less!

But seriously, I have no idea how my phone has such good reviews; it's so incredibly annoying to use! Still, better than my old phone which would delete messages on a whim.

Don't you always lose your phone?

Like it's some kinda tradition or something.

I did something in Flash, aren't you guys impressed?

Wanting to Hire

So, money is the universal motivator; I want to give it out. Specifically, I want to give it out in an equitable arrangement between myself and a developer(s). I'm looking to have a game made, in addition to some other media. I'm creating a budget for it and I wanted to get your opinions on this particular aspect of the budget.

How much can I expect to pay to have a professional, high quality flash game made? Money is always an object, but for the sake of argument, let's remove this as a concern. I am a serious entrepaneur, with capital to back what I need, so don't pull punches. I want to get as accurate an estimate as possible. And if you're interested, let me know so I can keep you on file for future discussion/negotiation.

NO.

Too lazy.

At 11/17/10 01:36 PM, zrb wrote: I'm no professional but quality games that get sponsored can earn 20k$+ these days. So you might have to pay around that or more if its also a custom game.

But like I said, I'm not in much of a position to say this so if your looking for an answer from professionals, try also asking in the forums at FlashGameLicense.

I think you can get by without paying that much though. Because after all, you can never guarantee a game's success and that huge investment might not come back.

You could always just hire developers for a flat rate. Do X and Y and you will be paid Z.

Yes. But some of them are creepers, so you have to watch out

I sold my next game to a sponsor who made me change the ending to a LOL SO RANDOM nonsense ending and now I hate it >:/

you know it's possible to say no to a sponsor when they request something like that?

Nobody else bid on it so it's either that or nothin. I shot down his first 3 crazy ideas.

Saying no to a sponsor's dumb idea doesn't mean they stop sponsoring the game.

Best way to say no: Explain that that change would require extra work which would require the sponsorship to be $X higher (X is about 5-10% of the total sponsor prize so as not to be ridiculous).

If they say no, you don't have to do their dumb change
If they say yes, you get more money for it

I'm fine with how much money it is, I'm just gonna feel dumb when I upload it.

Not kickin up a fuss o nothin I'm jus blowin off steam, y'know.
