After various reads and feedback, I’ve reached 1008 views at time of writing- and hope for more! This sure gives me some inspiration for more guides!

I know, I’ve been quite inactive so far. However, I have been making a few behind the scene changes, thanks to my readers! I fixed two things so far that actually were needed. Glad that people took my advice and e-mailed me input!

After you make it, the best thing to do is to hack it! This guide will be released soon- to make a game really nice and ‘hackable’, try to include a LOT of variables, so we can have more things to hack to!

To tell you the truth, I’m been doing some flash studies as well. I want to make a side-scroller tutorial, and you can incoporate all the methods I taught you in the RPG one to do that!

Okay, here is my post for today:

I’ve fixed up to parts of my tutorial thanks to Louie who is giving me some nice feedback; first of all, I’d like to thank him for what he’s done.

Now that’s over, let’s get to it: I really need ideas for a new tutorial. I think I might make one on how to hack your own flash games- that might be fun and let you learn some more stuff about flash and all that. Hmm… I wonder…

Yep.

I promised a post every day, but I had a three hour exam on Saturday, and I’m TIRED. The days were spent studying really hard, so yes, I had to take a break.

But I’m back now… My tutorial got accepted at Flash Perfection .com, and I’ve been getting visitors, so yah! I’m revising the guide to make it a little more readable, so stay tuned for that!

Back here at the drawing board… I decided my tutorial was a little too clumped together.

So what I am going to do is seperate them into different sections, and add more pictures, graphics, and examples to achieve maxium understanding.

It’ll take me a while to re-write them, but that is what I will be doing.

I’m promising you guys and girls new posts every single day! Though this does not necessarily mean tutorials every day, this means posts that are generally useful or surprising. I am waiting for my flash tutorial to get accepted and waiting for user input to see if it is good, and I hope so!

Then, I will spread my tutorials on request, and do not hesitate to ask! It doesn’t have to be specifically on Flash- Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc, and other programs such as Sony Vegas and even how to install Wordpress or something similar! Just ask and I’ll do my best. I can also search for nice results as well.

Today, I am going to only fool around for now, while I generate ideas for more tutorials. Can you help me think of one? Thanks!

If you don’t remember how to view the entire tutorial below, just either click on the title or the ‘read more’ or whatever spot. That’ll take you to my whole guide… I made a few minor corrections to advance readability, and may run it through a spell checker soon, as WordPress’s can’t catch any (No offense). Here is the tip of the day:

Trying is the key to everything: No one is going to sue you if you get the errors showing up and it doesn’t work. Experimenting is how you yearn for success, and this is the way you’ll get it.

Have a nice day everyone!

I’m back for a while, since I have some time on my hand. I’m planning a photoshop tutorial as we speak so maybe we can use some of those skills to make a decent character if you don’t know how. I’ll also post some animation tutorials in Flash, and, once I figure it out, make your character do ‘things’ as well, like killing! What’s the use of enemies with out it, eh? I am learning myself, but am perfecting and testing some other systems to make it more like an rpg game. I see many good things coming out in the future!

Hello! Welcome to my first ever guide on my website, and today we will be focusing on one of Adobe’s greatest programs for graphical entertainment- Flash CS3.
I understand that not every one of you have the CS3 version of this program (Creative Suite Three), but I am pretty sure this will work for many different types of Flash. Since I am using Action Script 2.0, any version that has it can be used.
Beyond that, let’s get started! Remember, if you have questions, do not hesitate to ask! I also recommend you look over the script and type it out yourself, because you’ll learn way more that way. Of course, I’ll also include what the actionscript means- to the best of my ablity. I am no expert in Flash!
Today, we will be studying a topic a little more indepth than the regular tutorials. To complete this tutorial with the least struggle, I recommend you know the following-

• Basic Skills, such as drawing objects
• Making Movie Clips/Buttons/Symbols (Though this wil be explained)
• It would be nice if you had some experience with Action Script, even if it is [stop();]

Okay, so what is our topic? I’ll be guiding you through the steps of making a simple game; and it’ll teach you how to make your character move in all directions; how to obtain objects; and how to ‘talk’ to NPC’s. If I have time, we’ll also include a Health Bar and enemies.
And a second thought…. walls and hitTests as well.

NOTE: I have realized that images are all scrunched up on my blog. I will post the direct image links so you can click on them to view a full sized image.

This is what you’ll be making:

I will add tutorials and more very soon… check out my ‘About’ page for now. Remember, there is more to this site than tutorials- news and exciting news will be present very soon.

As well, I will also find a collection of tutorials that are easy and great to learn from. You will be able to request them later, and, if you find the tutorial a little bit confusing, can either post in the comments or contact me so I can create a more simple, graphical tutorial.
