Online Flash Games Can Improve Your Mental and Physical Alertness

The most common online flash games can be broadly classified into action, mind, racing, sports, military and individual games where you are pitted against a plethora of opposing forces etc. Some are simple ones suited for children, but some are simply hard to win. All these games help to improve your mental alertness and ability to take reflex actions.

The popularity of online flash games has gone very high these days since they are great tools of entertainment. Puzzle games in the same format are good at improving mental aptitude also. People, ranging from small children to oldies are slugging it out in front of their personal computers to pass spare time pleasurably. The number of websites providing these games, either free or for a token price, has also increased manifold.

The premise here is simple, Google "flash games" and research the most popular titles.

The most technical thing you'll probably need to do is create a movie clip or a button. Just sit down for a few hours daily and the various assets to your game, take one day to do all the animations for your hero, another for the enemies, backgrounds, and so on. Pretty soon you'll have all the graphics complete...Then it's time to find a coder.

A coder is someone who will make the game interactive. You can surely learn to code yourself, but that's another lesson. Depending on the quality of your art and the depth of complexity you're trying to bring to the game, a coder will want 50% or more. I've never taken any deal that was less than 50%/50%...It may be okay for the first few games you're making, but after that you deserve an equal share. To find a coder you'll have to browse a few forums. I recommend the MochiMedia forums. Post a preview of your animations and wait for a coder to show interest.

When you find a coder who's interested (and reputable) send your.fla file over to him/her and watch as your graphics come to interactive life. Once the game is complete you'll want to find a sponsor. You can either send out dozens of emails to sponsorship websites and wait for one to bite, or you can upload your game to FlashGameLicense.com where a vast pool of sponsors can bid on it. If you do decide to email sponsors, be sure to ask for about $200 more than you believe your game is truly worth...that way you'll be able to attain your true price easier.

There are two types of sponsorships: primary & exclusive.

Primary: The sponsor pays you for the.swf and puts your game on their site for an allotted number of days. After the days are up you can put ads in your game and distribute it freely about flash portals earning you ad revenue based on how popular the game is.

Exclusive: You'll likely get paid more for an exclusive sponsorship, but that means the sponsor has purchased all the rights to your game. They can alter it as they wish, distribute it as they wish, and after they give you the money, there's nothing you can do. If you believe your game is worth more to you if you own the rights, don't opt for an exclusive sponsorship.
