Sure Camadro, you can check out samples of some of our games at www.saydesign.com. We offer licensing and custom development. We also are a game invention studio so if you need some original or games not often seen built in Flash we can help.

Cheers,

John (say <at> saydesign.com)

Does it have to be in Flash? Would you consider Java...?

[camadro]

We are trying to stay away from Java, but we will take a look at them.

Also, we'd be interested in sponsoring games. If you have a new game tell us about it and we can discuss it further. And as always, we also buy/license games as well. So email jobs_AT_freearcade.com with details about your game and a link to a playable demo.

Thanks!

We are trying to stay away from Java

What is the reason behind that?

[camadro]

What is the reason behind that?

Primarily because the Java JVM is bloated and takes forever to load. And its been my experience that users get frustrated with Java games because of loading times and other such problems.

Don't get me wrong, Java games have their advantages. But Flash games are easier to create, quick to load, and the plug-in is very easily installed plus the install base is quite large.

Not to hijack my own thread.. so you can PM me or start another thread about this Java craziness.

Are you interested in Director Shockwave games, not just Flash games? By reading your post I assume that you are, but some people call Flash games (SWF) ShockWave Flash and get it mixed up.

Thanks,

Yeah, sorry for the ambiguity. Thanks for the question Tom.

We are definitely interested in Shockwave games as well.
