I'd like a tutorial possibly showing how to do these things:

1. Placing a working donate paypal button in a Flixel game.
2. Some system for whenever the player has actually donated, (not clicked button) give the player some sort of credits.

Thanks!

Have you looked into Mochi Coins?

I'd say it's generally unnecessary to do something like this from scratch because I'm fairly certain there's a few services where player cash can be converted into virtual monies, this being one of them.

Yes. Would any of my games get accepted? Probobly not. So I'm looking at alternatives.

Good point, I hadn't noticed they had a filtering process. Mochi Coins and GamerSafe are the only two I know of. It looks like GamerSafe does not use filtering, but this is just my basic observation:

I'm not a flash developer, but I've heard these pop up during discussions about this kind of thing. Beyond that an experienced flash developer would know more than me.

[xhunterko]

Well, if anything, I'd at least like to know how to get a donate button in a flixel game.

You don't want a button that opens a popup in a separate window?  Because that's just a flxbutton....

[xhunterko]

And I don't like flxButton. I made a custom class to replace it. But, I don't know how to do the pop up window. But, if you can do that, that'd be great!

I also remember FlxPanel having something to what I might be looking for. So I'll look into that and try some hacking. I'll let ya know if I come up with anything.

A tutorial on how to make characters using pixel art   ? I checked the pixel art tutorials sticky thread and most of the links there teach how to make backgrounds , buildings.

[SolarLune]

I have a series of Pixel Art tutorials - I'm up to part 4 on color contrast. Animation's next. Here's the YouTube playlist.

There's a thread about it here, as well (not the pixel art tutorial sticky; I didn't see it at the time.  )

Thanks i have started watching your series and I hope to see some more videos
And thanks for the link john

I don't know if this would be tutorial territory, or more of a primer, but something about selecting tile size and resolution/screen dimension would be a good thing.

[SolarLune]

Depends. I believe 16x16 is a nice size for most files and sprites. Different resolutions work for different games. GBC, for example, had a simple square resolution - 128x128? Computer games can go to 320x240 for retro games (Cave Story and Spelunky, I think). Basically, you want to keep to native computer resolutions USUALLY. Keep in mind that nobody wants super small character sprites, too.

This may be off topic, but I am looking for video tutorials on game development in ActionScript 3 or Java. And preferably in a series not just a "how to" video. Thanks in advance

[rek]

Depends.

Thus the request.

[hastylumbago]

I request a procedure tutorial.

Basically, I'd like a tut which gives a decent idea as to how to start a project. what sort of foundations does one have to lay? when do you get someone to start doing art assets for you? Things of that nature. I basically want a checklist, so that I don't do that thing where you get ahead of yourself and discover that the stuff you did for step 35 has to be redone now that you've finally gotten around to step 3.

Is that a doable thing?

[ink.inc]

different people have different procedures

cactus can develop games within 24 hour time spans

alec holowka/derek yu made aquaria over 2 years

fez has been developed for over 4 years

each person had a different procedure/mindset for each

[eclectocrat]

I'd like an AS3 for programmers guide, if you already know how to code, what are some tricks/pitfalls when transferring that knowledge to AS3.

[Angelbait]

Howdy guys! 

I've scoured Google for any info I could find on the subject but I cant seem to find any guides to making a tile set in Flash CS5.5.  Or for any Flash in that matter.  I just want to learn how to use the cloning tool to make the best tile set I possibly can!  I'm not looking for a tut on how to draw a tile set, more towards the exact procedure I would need to take in Flash.

Thanks a bunch!

I'd really appreciate it if any artist here could share some tips or technique to produce photorealistic art like they use in Hidden Object games. It has always bugging me how could they produce such realistic photo within a short period of time.
