I have developed a few Flash games with the focus on customisation. These include a couple of really nice coloring books, word-find puzzles and memory/matching game. The idea is to take give website owners the chance to include games on their site that fit with their products, ideas, message, etc. The games are all inexpenisve and easy to customise. Now I just need to find a way of getting the word out there! I've tried Facebook advertising, but because of the low price-point of the products this turned out to be too expensive. Posting to forums, such as Digital Point certainly give some exposure, but I suspect that many of my potential clients are more in the "hobbyist" category, and may not be aware of such resources. I know I also need to make the website "sexier", but have a look anyway, and please let me know your ideas on ways I could market these products... http://webmaster.keasoftware.com/ In particular, check out "My Coloring Book"... http://webmaster.keasoftware.com/my-coloring-book-online.html It's a really cool little coloring book that does much more than the common flood-fill, allowing you to paint free-hand, and save and print your pictures. Best of all though, you can easily add your own pictures (I even include a free tool to help you do this). Thanks!
the best way to make money with flash games is to put sponsors in them and then let other webmasters put it on their website! It benefits you both!
Thanks for the suggestion, but my aim was to provide an alternative to those games. I think there are plenty of website owners who would love to have some games on their site, but DON'T want them to include ads (which could even be ads for competitors). Also most of those games don't usually offer any sort of customisation, whereas with my games they allow you to stay "on message". I think that's important. Thanks for the post. It's definitely a valid idea, I'm just trying to do something a little different.
I really liked your applications, it made me smile and feel like a kid again. If you have a very special price for a fellow digital point member I would like to have them. I'll make a nice design to use them and you can use my websites and my testimonial to showcase what other webmasters can make. It's a powerful marketing tool... PM me.
It's like you read my mind! I've just been thinking I might give away a few copies of the games just to generate some buzz. It'll also be a good opportunity for me to tighten up the documentation more. My Coloring Book, WordFind and MatchUp can all be downloaded and installed for free, already. There's a nag screen, which goes away once you have a license. So here's a deal for you, and all other Digital Point members... Install any/all of the 3 games listed above on your website. Post the URLs to the pages with the games here. PM me with a contact email address. I will send you the licences for FREE. Some conditions... You can use all three games, but limited to a single domain. Only available to the first 20 people that contact me. Feel free to spread the word and let other know about this deal! Is there perhaps a different forum category where I could post this offer? (I found Freebies but can't post there - maybe cos I'm too new?)
Have you tried FlashGameLicense? http://www.flashgamelicense.com/index.php; you can find sponsers for your game there.
