Hey, gang. This is probably a newbie-ish question, but…

When you develop a Flash Game, what frame rate do you typically set it to run at?

I usually set my games to run at 60 fps since that’s what most console games are running at these days. But my animator friend told me that every game he’s developed animations for have been set to run at 24 fps.

I’ve tried setting my games to run at that frame rate, but they end up looking pretty chunky, so I thought I’d ask you guys if there’s a standard frame rate you normally use when you’re developing games.

30 usually.

The 24 to 30 range is pretty standard for flash animations and games, unless there’s a specific need to go higher.

24 or 30. Usually 30 for smooth animations/tweening.

24, since that’s the usual point at which the average human eye can’t detect the difference.
