Lately I have been doing a lot of little one off sites in flash and basic html. I did a site for the Aaron Moser Spinal Foundation as well as one for All Star Steam. These sorts of projects are the bread and butter of the flash industry, while big movie sites like the Incredibles are really the wine and caviar. Don't get me wrong, I love bread and butter, in fact since I started eating a more healthy diet I would KILL for some bread and butter, especially if the bread was a cinnimon bun, and the butter was a heaping stack of icing with tiny chocolate flakes. I seem to have totally lost my train of thought.
Anyway, although I really enjoy letting the world know where they can get environmentally sound and economically responsible service, the funny thing is that all the money seems to be in sites that are designed to sell tickets to the media hungry masses. Of course, not everyone gets those projects. In fact, I would wager that many of the bigger flash projects are done directly by media teams working for the studios.
With that being said, it is starting to seem more and more like the flash game market is wide open. I just had a successful launch of Bubble Fun (which was designed by someone else, but I did all the coding for). In fact, over at NewGrounds Bubble Fun is getting high praise, and that makes me pretty frikken happy. I'm probably going to be building several more games for PCpuzzles and that is also pretty fantastic. In fact, one year ago I was starting to think that I would never be paid a single penny for an game I ever built, and now I have sold two.
Of course, I work all the time now, but that's okay. Today I'm planning on winning the lottery, and that should help ease my workload a little. Oh, and one last thing, watch this flash movie, it kicks ass, plus it has a karaoke mode! Not often you hear me say that!
