Blog For Gamers and Devs xD

Hey guys!
Many developers probably know about SWFstats, a new Analytics for Flash games. Its both feature rich and also way better than most of the current Analytics for Flash games.

SWFstats – Flash Analytics

Its free right now, but only during the beta. There will be a price though when it comes out of beta but i am sure the price will pay off.

Here’s a list of features it offers (compared)

That actually looks pretty good but what are your opinions on SwfStats?

Mochiads is one of the best ways for developers to monetize their games. This wasn’t the case until mochiads came about… Mochiads is the company That brought money and ads into Game Development, Many developers made lot more money than they would have. And the same company was sold to a leading Chinese Gaming Company ShandaGames.

Here are 10 great resources for flash game developers and wannable developers!

A great blog with great tips and tutorials to help you get started. It also has great blog posts ways to optimize your games and get a better outcome.

Whether you like a game or not is your taste. Some games gain alot of fans while the others lay buried with not alot of people noticing. But What really makes a good game that attracts gamers? In a old post i said Flash Games dont really need Cute Graphics to be good.

Some good news for developers!

MochiMedia have updated their system again to include some new and maybe some interesting features:

  • Consumables and In-Game Currency Support in Mochi Coins (AS3 Only)
  • Universal Login
  • Let your users use the mochi login features in your game even if you dont have mochi coins enabled. It will also allow you use alot of data from the user profile @ Mochi. Maybe a nice feature but i dont see the point.

  • Universal Data Storage (AS3 Only)
  • This is surely the best feature they have released in this update. This should let developers build a better game play.

It is sometimes hard for some games to get plays. Its probably because either the game play is bad or the game doesnt look attractive. You may also want to check out: What makes a good game?

1) Choose your name carefully.

Although this may seem like it doesnt have alot to do with game views. The reality is it does.

Do you really need those fancy cute graphics for your game? Well to short answer to this is “No.”

Why? Because people who play games are normally school kids aged 13-17, and most of them dont play flash games at home (Its a true fact, They prefer console games), They play these game at work or school when they have limited time (breaks etc)
