Game Inspiration
Well for me personally, I don't get too inspired by Flash games because they all are very generic. The most action you get is from those side scrolling shooters (which are good) but they don't have good storylines. Last Stand is good in graphics and in some details, but could use a better storyline and cut scenes. I think with everyone now, they see a Flash game, then make their own version but add a little shop between levels to buy new weapons and health. After that breakthrough, we haven't really advanced much in terms of gameplay. There are those good physics games (you can get linked to some through my site eg. Falling Sand Game, flOw...) and those do somewhat inspire, but I have really wanted to see some breakthroughs in adapting console gameplay to Flash, not with 3D graphics and all, but some similarities.
I will use Resident Evil 4 as an example. For a good 2D Flash Shooting game now, I would like to see some more strategy or maybe even physics that can tell where exactley you have hit the enemy, so if you shoot them in the foot, I want them to fall to the ground or limp. Or you could have a box, and then push like "Z" to duck behind it and when ever you press shoot, the character just pops up slightly enough to shoot then ducks back down. Strategy is what inspires me. It requires thinking and makes victory all the more satisfying. I was so happy with myself after shooting the zombies trying to throw grenades, while they held up their arm to throw, I shot the arm and they dropped the grenade and ended up blowing themselves up.
In short, console games inspire me with gameplay ideas for Flash. But Flash games are becomming carbon coppies of each other in terms of the recycled gameplay.
EXPO
Yeah, I didn't get any autographs cuz they was expensive. Adam West seemed pretty happy to me sitting there getting all the attention.
