Topic: General Gaming / Learn 2 Fly question

A single friendly bump, just to see if anyone has something else to say. If not I guess it’ll be rather simple, with a few options and cheats you can use in some sort of “sandbox” or “cheat mode” which doesn’t count in your score.

Just thought I’d point something out. It seems you aim to earn money solely with the Kongregate’s contest, is that right? Because if that’s what you’re thinking, you should know that flash games earn money mainly with sponsorship. It’s basically branding your game with a portal’s logo for anywhere from 50$ to a few thousands! (Check out flashgamelicense.com for more info).

Also, uploading a game on Kong will earn you an advertisement revenue share. Kong gives out a percentage of what they make with your game, simple and you don’t have to worry about winning the contest!

As for which type of game… I don’t really know, but you should really go with a genre you love.

Then buying currency directly would be out of the question. I was also thinking I might put “starter” money available for purchase, allowing people to start the game with little funds instead of zero, but that would definitely help them clear the game in fewer days…

Topic: General Gaming / Learn 2 Fly question

Hey everyone!

I’m real glad to say that Learn 2 Fly is FINALLY ready! It’s off to a few friends who’ll test it just so there aren’t any show-stoppers or big bugs, and I begin to look for sponsorship.

However, I just recently learned of GamerSafe, and thought I’d give it a try. The online save feature is what I was looking for, but their micro-transaction system had me wondering: Would you guys like “extra content” to be available for money?

The whole game is free, no question there, but seeing their API got me thinking that maybe I could add some small features such as cheats, engine and physics tweaking, sandbox mode, penguin clothing/accessories. Basically elements that would not interfere with the main game.

I was also wondering if some of you would be interesting in buying currency directly? As in the original game, you get cash for each run, but there is also a special shop where you can buy “perks” or upgrades that carry through each new game. This shop uses Bonus Points, which are harder to earn and I could see those being sold for real money maybe.

So I wanted to see what you guys would say: would you spend $ for extra functions and featurettes, and if so, how much? (I’m thinking around maybe 2-3$ to buy ALL the extra content in the game, but you could buy just some cheats for a few cents or a few bonus points for like 0.25$ or something like that)

If people are against it, the game could stay as it is, with no cheats, tweaks, accessories and no way to earn Bonus Points faster.

Topic: Collaborations / Paid Animator Needed - Learn to Fly

Hello everyone!

I am working on the sequel to Learn to Fly, and thought it would take far less time. The game itself is nearly complete and should go up for sponsorship very soon, however I completely overlooked the intro/outro and other small cutscenes in the game.

Some people are getting impatient, I am beginning to think that this is taking way too long, and most importantly, animating takes me an eternity XD

So I am looking for an animator who could do the cutscenes for me, they both follow a very similar pattern to the first game ones, so they are about the same length too. There might also be 1-2 additional, shorter endings.

Of course, this will be paid work. Price will be fixed amount payed upon completion. As of now, it seems it would be roughly 1-2 minutes of animation, with a style respecting the game genre. I am making sketches of the animation and more detailed information will come very soon.

I’d like to know who’d like to do it, see what you’ve done and how much you’d ask for it.

Thank you very much!

Topic: Kongregate / Learn to fly the best game? Rly?

I was just wondering why I saw like 2-3 complaints about “No restart button” when you can go under "options">"Back to Main Menu"… Just thought I’d point out.

And remember… most people online will vote depending on if they just had a good time playing it for 5-10 minutes… It’s far away from an actual review of the game’s quality. depth and replayability.

Hey all !

I was just getting concerned about all those comments people were leaving on Learn to Fly and went to look in the forums…

Let me say that IMO Learn to Fly IS OVERRATED, it got about 10x the success I thought it would get, and I was expecting a rating of about 4/5 or so…

Maybe the genre is one people likes a lot, maybe many people simply enjoyed it and rated high, which is what I personally do. I don’t rate a game on its quality, rather on if I had fun during the 10 minutes I played. Many games deserve a higher rating.

But anyway, the important part is that some people had fun playing it, others can just move on and pick another game !

Have a nice day everyone ! ;)
