Some news

[ Total Construction is already released. Sponsor was awful. 🙁 ]

[ I have found new artist for Resistance Is Useless game, he decided to make all the graphics from the beginning. So… ]

[ I’ve almost finished with the new design for Pozirk Games website, I’ll switch to it next week. ]

[ Some cool guy from flashgames.de purchased a source code of Instant Football. Second purchase already, this game is popular! ]

[ Friend of mine is porting Mad Tanks to iPhone! And he has almost finished. Unfortunately name “Mad Tanks” is occupied by someone else at AppleStore, so we decided to switch to old name: “Soko Tank“. ]

It’s all the news so far.

Grrr. I’m thinking to switch to BigFishGames, but now I have to make new Download Games website design for their Satellite Gamesite System and make many other modifications.  Again. 🙁

Box2D AS3

I’ve decided to take a look at Box2D for Flash, cause I hope to make some games using this powerful engine, but according to the news from 1/08/10 on box2d.org, website was hacked by someone. So, right now Box 2D AS3 Manual is not available (404 Page not found), but thanks to Google, there is a cache of the manual.

З.Ы.: Actually, latest version of manual can be found here: http://box2dflash.boristhebrave.com/docs/.

In progress

It’s been two months already I’ve started making new game, although game code is almost done, I still didn’t get any graphics from designer…

So, right now I’m changing websites design.

Also, I’m planning to start my own flash games contest with cash prices this summer, if everything goes well. It will be some kind of experiment.

Small glitch

There is a small glitch in Mad Tanks and someone has already used it.
I give 1 million points to the player, which pass last level, so it is easy to see who actually finished the game.
But some guys don’t submit their score at the end, instead of that they go to main menu, press continue and play last level again (but they’ve already got 1 million points). So they finish last level once again and get their next million!
That is why there are some players with the score 2+ millions.

Ok. It’s not a big deal. 🙂 I will fix it in next version, if any.

Two new websites

I’m launching two new websites:
Flash Games
Multiplayer Games

So, very soon(hmm-hmm) I’m going to replace all-in-one website with three(even four) websites, each with its own content.

www.pozirk.com & www.pozirk.net – only my games.
flash.pozirk.com – online flash games, there are more than 9k games right now.
multiplayer.pozirk.com – multiplayer games.

For flash games I have bought an “Arcadem Pro” script, it has a lot of features, like automatic installation of games from Mochi and BigFish, Google AdSense(needs modification) and SEO friendly URLs. It has a lot of bugs too, luckily it was cheap, only 10 bucks.
For casual games I’m using Development Kit provided by Reflexive, very well designed and simple, but no features.
I had to add SEO URLs by myself and will add AdSense later.

And of course need to change design for all websites.
