As you know, I released two Flash games with banners inside. The first one was Red Flowers with a banner placed in the level selection screen, and the second one was SamePhysics, with a banner placed directly in the game screen. It seems obvious people pay less attention to banners while playing, so the click-through …
Monetize
Enough is enough. I am really tired of reading about computer guys building websites and getting rich. On the other side, I’m bored of reading about so-called web 2.0 companies collapsing because they thought they could pay 20,000 employees to keep their blog updated. It’s time to read something fresh and new: how to lose …
You are all invited to play SamePhysics, my first Box2D game. It’s a small milestone because it’s my first Box2D game. The game is the remake of SameGame, just using Box2D to manage the blocks. It’s not the greatest game of the year, but developing a full Box2D game made me acquire the experience to …
In my latest game, Red Flowers, I introduced a new way to show ads. At the bottom of the level-select screen, I am showing three ads. One linking to this blog, one asking for a PayPal donation, and one linking to Triqui.com. Now it’s the time to publish some stats after 10k views. First, I …

It’s a brand (and beta) new service allowing developers to quickly add multiplayer features to their games and publishers to create free multiplayer …
The web is full of successful stories about monetizing Flash games… you will find some of them in Casual Games, Hard Money or you can read about my results at The experiment – one year later. Today I am writing about the other side of the coin… when you fail at monetizing Flash games. You …

This is a great milestone for a game developer, in my opinion. My second Flash game, Christmas Couples, a game released almost a year ago, reached 10,000,000 views! Besides the income, I am happy one of my games got such a large number of views. Do you have a game in this club?
Interesting thing, the web… at a first glance you can find a lot of free resources, but sometimes when you look more in depth things may differ. It happened with my last game, Halloween Couples. When I finished coding the game, initially with coloured circles, I googled for “halloween icons” or something similar. When I …
