[mazi] Free Flash for noobs and Faces of evil

Posted by mazimadu on Dec. 1, 2007, 6:20 p.m.

Hello 64 digits. Sorry for the extended absence (what am I apologizing for? No one reads this blog, just look at the number of friends I have) but I had nothing to blog about. So I decided to take the weeks off. Besides, This is finals week so I have been busy. I will compile the GAME OF THE YEAR blog later. I am just waiting for Unreal 2007 and finals to finish.

I have been trying to make a platform game using GMphysics (not like marbs' Dominoes). The problem I am having is that the character is not moving and animating the way I want especially on slopes. As for sprites, I have found a way to animate and export my character with flash. The

problem however is that the exported image comes out less than perfect (thanks to lossy compression) so I have to iron out the edges with paint.

Speaking of flash, I heard that some of you are looking for programs that can create SWF programs that don't cost $200+. I found one that is part of an entire suite. You can use OpenOffice.org Impress part of the OpenOffice.org suite. It basically is a clone (and a very good one at that) of MS powerpoint, but unlike powerpoint, it can export to SWF directly. Give it a try and maybe you may like it. It's free.

You know in one of my blogs I stated that the battle with ganon was one of

the best boss fights of all time in my top 5 boss list.

Quote:
true, but did you know that he also appeared in one of the worst

games of all time (one notorious game that mist my worst games list). Yes in

link, faces of evil (description) he was a stupid final boss that dies in one

of the most anticlimactic battles I have ever seen.

WTF is this. You kill Ganon, one of the greatest bosses of all time, by throwing a slow moving, easily dodgeable book at him. I know that the CD-i is horrible but this, THIS, I just can't start with this game. I will do that in another blog.

Dont forget to include indie games into your choice for game of the year.

Synfig isn't going to support action script as it is an animation tool, not a tool for making games AND animation.
