Just when I need musician to make music for my games

Agree with Golds, by utilizing hardware graphics, we can leave the CPU doing the game calculation alone. It's like saying that two head is better than one.
But the funny thing is that, when I ask to a sponsor, will molehill change how flash game look (and play), he answered,"No, it wont" 
I totally disagree with him since by adding another 'D' to 2D games will surely make a big leap, we can do things in 3D that cant be done in 2D.
Check this video, it was made with flash I believe:

Then you guys should really play Ju:on on Wii..
It's funny that the scariest game is actually released on a console that suppsedly cheerful LoL

Though it means that I'll have to download a new version of unity. Bah, the last version can cost me 450MB, I hope they use patching option instead of downloading the whole thing.
Still, if the free version of unity still not allowing render to texture, maybe I'll use direct Molehill instead(well, with the help of other wrapper, like Away3D or ND3D, of course)

Sure, it can be done (and I think it will be much easier) using stack of rectangles. But it need more stack to get the building smoother, and more stack can impact the performance

I believe it can be done with skewing trapezoidal images

Wooow... I think I showed you this game a little bit too late since it already got released.
Thanks anyway, since your feedback could be really useful for me to make another similar/sequel game(which I'm already planned but it is in the bottom of my next game list)

Welcome to the Metal Chaos Arena.
This is the place where player across the universe gather to test their skill and compete to win the tournament. Some will do it for honour, some for pride, and the rest for credits, cash, money. Enter the battle where you will find bullets and missiles fly everywhere, laser beams cut trough steel, Mechas explode all around you, and you walk out the arena as the winner, for this day atleast


Featuring:
- 6 Mechas to choose, after you buy it of course, each comes with own characteristics such as Speed, MTOW(Maximum Take Off Weight), and of course, Special Ability
- 2 Special Mecha, one with a very high price and the other is unlockable
- 4 battle mode including Last Man Standing, Frag Master, Team Death Match, and Artifact Steal.
- 8 different weapons, again with different characteristics.
- Hire team members so you can compete with other teams in team battle mode
- 'Bot' chatter will show their condition in the heat of battle
- Adaptive AI, AI difficulty will adapt to your skill in battle, offering almost unlimited gameplay.
- Spectator mode, even if you're killed in the battle, the battle doesn't just end, you can watch other players fight each other until someone become the winner

Long story short, this game will redefine the term of 'Arena Shooter'

For cheats, you can just PM me

I like more poly for the leg, make them rounder.
@McMutton: That's pretty awesome, you make your avater into 3D?

An easier way to create glow in GIMP is using the softglow filter. It also 'glow' your main sprite however, so the picture will look brighter and blurry.

Cool stuff, 3D pixe ART
Just dont forget to disable the filtering

Todo an outward glow in GIMP, based from your picture, I'll say selecting the black part then do any blur filter(I prefer the motion blur>zoom blur>blur outward) will work nicely
BTW,in GIMP, there's a nice feature in the filter menu(i think it's in the filters>artistic) called "softglow". It will give you good bloom effect in only a couple of mouse clicks.

For flash games, there is somthin called pixelbender that can do shader stuff for flashgames.
Newestversion of flixel(it's awrapper for AS3) also support post processing effect to do some crazy stuff :D
Here's an example: http://flixel.org/flxbloom/

For 3D games, looks like there is a never ending list of special effect but generally those fx devided into two major categories, Material shaders and Post-processing shaders(I dont know about deffered shader, maybe it's the combination of both)

About particle, is there any algorithm to create a 'beam' type particle? I went through google only to find accelerated particle gun things(what it has to do with 3D games?)

This abandoned games relies on z sorting, even it's collision take z into account
http://filebin.gamedevid.org/view/100bv/

I only zsort everything when a grass reach the nearest znear value, then move that grass to the farthest z value (zfar). The 'zsort' itelf is just the internal AS3 sort. I think the result is considerably smooth

Judging your game engine, I'll say go with multilayered background, like in some old console RPGs.
Or, you can just check if the player collide with background tiles, then swap it when necessary.
Or, instead of sorting everything, you just sort the visible walls, put all ground tile in background.

A Turn Based Strategy for flash, jush finished the pathfinding(still buggy though)


Debugging floodfill:


Test here:

It's just the different turrets and various types of armour that are throwing me. Obviously each gun will have a certain level of effectiveness against different areas.

Sorry that I missed that worms style projectile :D
For the turret AI maybe like giving some predefined turret_angle vs target_distance chart. Then when the bullet miss the target, the AI will adjust the angle, like when it falls behind target, decrease the angle and vice versa.

Well you can always have a story mode AND an unlimited mode 

Agree, include both mode, story mode and, what it usually called, survival mode?

Steering behaviour maybe the suitable fo Tower Defense games. Maybe some basic function like follow path, chase, flee and something like that

Coded the world generation again from scratch, and managed to reduce the generation time from the whopping 15+ seconds to less than 1 second. Next I shall add roads and cities!

No kidding, that's not a time reduction, I say it's time elimination
