Flash games competitions are great way to improve your programming skills not only because of prizes but also participation itself brings very valuable thing - experience. Good prizes are motive enough just to try to make good game, but only with experience comes organization, planning, strategy as important pillars of success.

Flash games development competitions pop-up often all over the web and rivalry is huge issue. Often it's very hard for one-man-machine to win. Instead team of developers is better solution.

First Birthday


Today is Flanture's first birthday. Before exactly one year this blog has started. More on my experience later, but now I just wanted to express my regret that noone has won Flanture Birthday Contest, because there was 0 entries.  It's all the same to me, but you just missed your chance to win free sitewide graphic banner spot on page rank 4 blog. Well, nevermind, more birthdays to come.
