INTERNETS FOR YOU, YOUNG DEVELOPERZ
Can’t find a PSN cover for this.. Or wait is this the PSN cover itself?

WHY MAKE FLASH GAMES?
1. CONSOLE dev licenses COSTS A LOT.
2. BY Releasing a prototype as a browser game you get to test your ideas very quickly to a lot of people
3. PEOPLE playing in the browser have little expectations except for the core gameplay. So yay, valuable feedback
If your game isn’t worth playing for 5 minutes, IT still ISN’t Worth playing even if you ADD those fancy console stuff

THE ZYNGA STRATEGY
1. Copy a slightly popular game. 2. Throw a whole lot of money into it –
marketing, programming, art. whatevS, you can afford anything anyway.
3. Sit back and wait for Facebook to write you a big check.
UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MONEY AND RESOURCES TO BURN, YOU DON’t
STAND A CHANCE

HOW TO MAKE A GREAT WEB GAMES. A HOW -TO GUIDE.
1. Start small (whatever game idea you have right now is too much for you to chew. Start on small games, then build from there)
2. ANYTHING OUTSIDE DEVELOPMENT IS MARKETING
3. BE A PART OF A COMMUNITY, but not too much
4. RESPECT YOUR USERS5. KEEP YOUR STANDARDS HIGH, DON’t
SELL YOURSELF SHORT

DON’T’S
Don’t’s START/JOIN A
GAME COMPANYIf you are a programmer, join a web or enterprise company instead.
They’ve been doing this web thing long before game companies thought it’s cool.
