I didn’t know this, but it seems that making cheesy flash games is a big business. With my career based in Flash, I’ve always toyed around with making simple flash games just for fun. I never imagined it could be for profit. I met a guy recently through IM on a flashkit.com board and he’s been giving me all kinds of tips to get started. I’ve also done some of my own research and I’ve tried to organize some links to share so others seeking the same things has me might have an easier time finding it.
Say you’ve finished your Flash game, you like it a lot and you want others to play it. Consider monetizing your work besides giving others joy of playing? Here are some good places on web where you can begin making money off of your creation.
Kongregate is maybe best place for you. If your game is chosen you can win some weekly cash or monthly top $1500 prize. Also, Kongregate shares ad revenues with developers.
Mochiads “is a no-hassle way for Flash game developers make money from every play.

I am currently working on a flash game portal site of my own. I will use it primarily to present my own games, but will also allow other developers to sign and and easily present their games as well.
I’ve been playing with PaperVision3D and it seems pretty straightforward and easy to use. I’ve also been able to find a ton of resources to help me learn all the ins and outs of this Engine.
You can do all kinds of things with PaperVision3D and it natively supports Google Sketchup models.

Today, while browsing through stuff about papervision3D I ran across this other 3D engine. They seem relatively the same… does anyone know which is better or easier. From first impression, Sandy looks geared more towards producing 3D games in Flash (which is why I’m interested in these 3D engines to begin with) It supports more 3D model types for import and with their work on integration with the Red5 multi player server, its looks like a good match for my needs.
