Looking for AS programmer for the old school space shooter

wow, just played the preview. How can you make something as simple as that so buggy? You don't need coders and artists, you need to purchase the actionscript cluebooke.

Well, controls for a start. They stick, so after a short time I was stuck on the right and unable to go left. Then I got stuck at the top. Pressing the right arrow again seems to unstick it for a while.

Then there's the general gameplay.

I don't think there is any real gameplay, the whole thing is just moving the ship around the screen and shooting, and every ship just obliterates upon one hit, no strategy or anything whatsoever. It's so boring too, shumps aren't fun when to whole game seems 2x slow-mo. The ship is way too sluggish too and as said the controls get horribly stuck at times making the game pretty much unplayable, not that you'd want to to begin with. I can't believe I actually even commented on this...

I do believe it's a joke. Selling that thing 500€ ?

If I can give you an advice, finish this game, make it something you think is good, and just hope people play it on your website. Have a forum or any way to let users leave comments.
Then start over, taking those comments into account.
Do it again, several times. Try improving style and gameplay, (and your coding skills as well !).
Maybe in a few years you'll be able to sell it in shareware for about 5€. If you can do it without shame, you will have earned some respect. But forget about the idea of selling this for 500€. Nobody buys games for this price.

Oh well it's a joke after all, isn't it ?

Even thought of pursuing a career in comedy? It's obviously more your thing.

I'm too late too! But that won't stop me from saying that you should choose anything but Flash. For a start, it randomly selects an fps between 21-27, which pretty much kills your idea of a scrolling shoot'em-up.

I am evil, I know. Or saving you from losing more time, if you see it from the correct perspective.

CHANGE to a decent dev environment and 90% of your work is done.

(Sorry if I missed anything, just read first post.)

Sencha Touch is nice for web apps. Dunno if it's easy to make games but it crushes Flash, that's for sure.

That blog post killed me :)
I thought it was just something Rowley Birkin thought up, but it is actually real! Wish I had seen this thread earlier, now please continue :)

Oh btw I'm not very skilled at AS, but I am for hire!

Finished all 5 levels. It's nice because it seems designed even though the levels are random.
Actually I would prefer the game to be more modern, i.e faster, without ship inertia, without lifebar, and 1 shot taken = death. On the other hand i don't know what are your inspirations.

and whores gonna suck
it worth it

#ponce, no need to suggest about any number parameter
like speed
the very advanced systems just tunes it and tunes it by itself
based on giving different params to different players
and i make this system smarter and smarter

ok, just make sure you don't create Skynet.
