New games ready to go, great achievements, games in production etc.

Uncategorized

So there’s a fair bit to talk about right now so I shall try and keep it short and sweet…

As you may remember my last post was about the release of my game Oran which I am extremely pleased to say managed to nail over 3 million plays within 2 months of being released! I am also proud to say that both my games Viridia and Astronaut 1337 crossed the 2 millions plays mark around the same time!

Onto upcoming stuff… I currently have SEVEN games completed and awaiting release, I am just trying to get them sponsored =] So there should be a lot more stuff for you guys to enjoy very soon, and a lot more money in my pockets. One of the most exciting games ready for release is Viridia 2, featuring new enemies, MUCH larger levels and the ability for the player to control vehicles! Keep your eyes peeled folks!

I am also just about to start work on another game in the Purplenum/Oran/Viridia type series; “Skyly” which should be done without too much delay =D

Whilst speaking to other developers and webmasters I have also found that my ad revenue earnings from the website are far far lower than they should be so I will be experimenting with new ad positions over the next few days… so don’t get scared if the site ends up looking a little bit ugly, it will all be sorted out =]

OH and btw, the reason there hasn’t been new games on the site or blog updates for a while is because I was in Ayia Napa for 6 weeks… and would like to go back now please? =[

Oran released FINALLY!

News

Well I made it about a year ago, had a good sponsorship deal lined up, then the guy just vanished off the face of the earth and left me stranded for 8 months. I just found a different sponsor and released the game after so much waiting. Unfortunately the deal we came too meant that I could not link to OmgLasersPewPew.com in the game so all branding is for GameGecko.com =[

Anyways enough waffle, go play the game here and keep your eyes peeled for a whole bunch of new games on the horizon!

Racing and Obama games released!

News

I got horribly bored and cracked out 2 extremely low-quality games and actually got a nice amount of money for them through sponsorships =D

I only made them to try and drive more traffic to the site, wasn’t expecting sponsorships but yeah, one is a racing game and the other allows you to dress the president:
Lapman
Dress My Obama

Ciao kids! xx

Long overdue update.

News

I always want to write things on the blog and have this really cool little news update feature but then I click into it and the blog just looks like a mess so I never bother :( aaaaaaaaaanyways a few things since the last post that may spark up some interest:

Viridia released.
Bosley released.
Dress my Cowell released.
Pedophile UK game released but forced to remove after people complained that ejaculating on famous missing children in a back garden was of “poor taste”.

I have completed like 10 more games as well all awaiting sponsorship that should be released VERY soon… just to name a few titles: Oran, Purplenum: Fly, Astronaut X. Many many more as well :p

I changed the site back to adsense as well after adbrite cocked me over and were paying like $0.02 a day… WTF!? Should be getting a lot of new features going on the site soon but I guess you lot are gonna be interested in this one the most: FREE GIVEAWAYS!!! Gonna carry on reading? yeah I thought so :p

Very soon (cannot say when exactly) we will be giving away free OmgLasersPewPew keyrings to members on a weekly basis (a few of them at the end of each week) and also a free t-shirt every week. Also there will be cash prizes for people with highscores for the week in some of our upcoming games such as Purplenum: Fly. We will also be hiring some in-house developers and be paying rather nicely to make us flash games =]

Also working on some intergrated forums for the site (yes we do know the current ones have been slaughtered by porn videos and porn links which sucks).

Had a lot of requests from new freelance flash artists for jobs, keep contacting! We may have things for you to do… and if not we may be able to help you find things.

Purplenum is back!

News

1 year, 5 months and 1 day since the release of Purplenum: Survival 2 comes the sequel, Purplenum: Survival 3! The new game has a completely different genre to the previous games, taking the form of a turret defence game. Quite possibly my best game to date, although I have a few others finished and *still* awaiting sponsorship.

Anyways I got a lot of sponsorship money for this which (although a large amount has already been spent) I will be putting a fair bit towards OmgLasersPewPew.com advertising.

I have a couple of games waiting to be released that I cannot show you yet, including a top-down shooter named Bosley and a platformer named Oran.

Also keep your eyes peeled for a completely new range of items in the shop. I will be scrapping all the old stuff for new t-shirts, new keyrings, new posters and more! Also the release of a new website is coming soon although I shall be keeping all further information a secret for now just to keep you all guessing.

NOW GO PLAY PURPLENUM: SURVIVAL 3!!!

Awaiting sponsorship

News

So if people are wondering what’s taking my new game so long to be released… it’s sponsors. I had a sponsor (king.com) who offered me $1,200 up-front sponsorship, then +$1,000 for the first million views and +$2,000 for the second million views… but then everything fell apart and I’m now without a sponsor.

I also finished another game in the summer called Purplenum: Survival 3 which has had some amazing offers and should be up within the next week if the sponsors will hurry up and reply to me!

As you can all tell the site redesign is finished and has been for a few weeks now. There may still be some minor tweaks but it’s pretty much finished.

I will be doing some merchandise giveaways very soon. Probably giving away a large amount of stickers and keyrings for free and the odd t-shirt (I am still designing more t-shirts so keep your eyes peeled).

I also have a new platformer in the making… I cannot say much but it’s going to be quite a simple yet fun game. Nothing too amazing but I’m sure everyone will still enjoy it.

Forced to post a new entry…

News

Okay so a friend on MSN just told me to write a new blog entry… which reminded me that the site has a blog! Anyways…………….

The GTA “Rampage” game is no longer for the online GTA game purely for the fact that another game site has offered me more for exclusive sponsorship. So yeah that should be online tomorrow or the next day for all to see! Also I get more money for every 1,000,000 views, so tell a friend!

A rather large site update would be the redesign. The whole site will be going through a mass redesign this week thanks to the same friend that told me to write a new blog entry. The site always looked a tad on the old side, but I thought it looked quite professional, plus I *HATE* sites that have followed the web 2.0 trend… which is ironic because the new site design will be strongly web 2.0 influenced. A shiny reflective new design should be up by the end of the week, with a possible new colour scheme however that is not a definate yet.

Oh and for those that want to know, that friend (that has also forced me to add many games and updates in the past) is Robbb.

New blog and GTA online OFFICIAL game!

News

Okay so I’m not completely sure what to write in my blog… but now I have one I might as well write something!

In flash-related news I am working on the OFFICIAL Grand Theft Auto online game! Yes you read correctly, OFFICIAL! A friend of a friend contacted me on MSN saying he had bought all the licenses and rights and got permission and all that from Rockstar to create an online text-based GTA game. Rockstar would offer help financially and with advertising and some other stuff and this guy that was in charge wanted me to create the flash elemtents to the game. So far I am creating a "Rampage" minigame for it where players must run around the city killing as many people as possibly within 3 minutes, then gaining a certain amount of money in the main game for how many kills they get. It’s all looking REALLY good! This whole project should mean I have a lot more money to spend on crap I don’t actually need and a lot more work to showcase.

I can’t think of anything else to post yet so I am going to go and work on the layout of this blog and then keep making the Rampage minigame!
