I'm Retiring From Flash...

Posted by FlukeDude - October 7th, 2008


It's been two years. Two sweet, painful years of learning and working hard to produce quite a large number of games and animations. It's been fun, but I think it's a good time to stop - it takes up a lot of time and I have exams soon. Flash has been my longest hobby yet, and I've throughly enjoyed it.

I've finally submitted Gravity Grid, a game I'm really proud of and has scored relatively high. I'll continue to update the website, share some more of my knowledge, but I'm no longer making any games or animations (except for the portal collab which is to be released very soon). I'm sorry about One Man Band, development has stopped (it didn't get very far), thank you to the artists that sent their tracks though.

I'd like to thank everyone at the Flash forum for their support whenever I came across a problem I couldn't solve, and the great tutorials there. I've talked to hundreds of great people I'll never know in real life there, it's bizarre. Also thank you to everyone who has watched and played my flash submissions, it's undescribable seeing thousands of views. Who knows, maybe I'll come back sometime...

Thank you.

"Who knows, maybe I'll come back sometime..."

Dude, I swear, the only way you're not gonna come back to flash is dying, or worse, becoming crippled =p

Hasta la vista, you'll be back.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i understand your pain at having to go through examzzzzzzzzzz and possibly a late turn of puberty.,.. but it is no reason to quit, I'm doing them too but you don't see me quiting do ya now :|

It's not so much exams... I'm just a bit bored and I'd like to spend time on other things. :O

You'll come crawling back like the rest of em, like denvish, inglor, oh...wait. Bye ;'(.

You're 15.. you make it sound as if you're 80 and your death bed.

You'll be back.

They always come back.

Retiring at 15? What?

You're gonna quit flash because exams are coming up? That's a pussy excuse. Just take time off and start back up after exams like a normal person. This post just makes you look like a bitch.

I don't have to do Flash. I've enjoyed it but now is a good time to stop and take up other hobbies and such.

^ so says the guy who has stretched the limits of flash with masterpieces like "Naruto Super Dub". anyway, i agree with rubberninjia, you'll be back.

Whether you're quitting or not, i still respect you.

Partly because you have the same name as me, which i get a big kick out of.

Partly cos you live in England too.

But mostly cos i really enjoyed Gravity Grid, as well as the many collabs you've contributed to. Well done, and good luck with the exams mate.

see you in like a year when you say 'guys I mean it this time'

you say that now YOU SAY THAT NOW!!!!
but you'll be back...flash is like a drug....once your hooked you will never escape....mwuhahaha

hasta windows xp you'll come back

lol i just had to say that

Could you AT LEAST make some sort of fighting engine?

The one/two DYN members still alive are waiting, man. Waiting for you...

I have a platformer engine if you'd like it.

You can't quit knowing how to use a program...

I suppose you mean you will stop learning new things about flash. Why would you restrict yourself to that? Just because you learn things in school and have to transfer that knowledge on to a piece of paper doesn't mean you can't learn new things online too.

Oh you'll come back.
They always come back.
:]

Oh yeah, I quit playing the guitar when I was 13. I could read music and everything, I was really good for my age.

Now I can't read music, nor play the guitar. I've regretted quiting for years now.

Don't let any hobbies die out, you'll regret neglecting the skill years down the track. Trust me.

Bye, although we didn't really talk all that much its sad to see you go.

Without you the Pass the Axe collab wouldn't be up cuz you convinced me to do something other than the pico collab :p.
