Hiya Alex, Wayne,


I was curious what the response so far on this site is. It it obvious that an

artistic hand played a part and

the schematic work is on a more expert level, however what is the response from

the "non-flash" developer?

First, 7 megs is awfully large for your average surfer. Also is there serious

attention for this type of Flash content

from potential clients? IOWs, are interactive Flash games marketable. Can

developers make serious money from this type

of Flash application or is it more an "experimental" piece? As far as I know,

Dir games are not that hot and are usually

avoided by paying clients and are rare projects.


This game is quite complex, but are people really looking to play these type of

games on the internet? Flash games and complex cartoon animations seem, in most

part, to be cumbersome and their fun factor simply doesnt compete with the

latest CD-rom/3DFX "Myst" like, adventure games. I personally left without

finishing the game because the fun factor didnt

justify the file size and the cumbersome animations even though it seemed to

rate higher on a professional scale.


These questions are really more for people who are marketing Flash which still

seems to be a scarce discussion on this list.
