Aaron Simpson (from Cold Hard Flash) and I recently had an opportunity to interview Jonathan Gay, the co-creator of Flash. Since he's no longer directly involved with Flash he was free to answer questions about the whole Adobe/Apple debacle swirling through the news these days. As one of the creators of Flash I'm inclined to say he's "on our side". But truthfully his responses were well-informed, honest and fair. As a cornerstone of the Flash community, this interview is of great interest to the Newgrounds community.

Please give it a read. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did speaking with Jon.

Here's a link to the interview.

If you've decided to clone a classic or maybe put your own spin on someone else's game or genre, here are some tips for making your version a success.

Tips for Making a Successful Game Clone

Unless you're making a game like Obey, you don't want your game to be difficult because it's confusing. You've probably got masterful level design, ingenious AI and all sorts of other neat stuff to throw at the hero. These are the things you'll use to challenge your audience. People new to your game will be learning and trying to master your control scheme, memorizing the rules of the world you've created and are likely trying to keep track of as well as predict what your levels have in store for them. They've got enough going on, the rest of your game's stuff should be as simple and intuitive as possible....

I don't know how many football fans we have here, so I'll give a brief explanation. The New England Patriots have been accused (*cough* caught) of using video cameras to spy on other teams. This basically allows them to know what plays their opponent's defense will be running. Sound like cheating? The NFL thinks so. Anyway, so here's my interpretation of the recent circus that is the Patriots management. Enjoy :) Oh, and the Patriots coach is Bill Belichick if you weren't aware.
