I'd just like to point of that ratubaworld has gotten over 1 MILLION visitors since January of 2006!

I'd like to thank everyone who has supported the site and the Brink of Alienation series, as well as anyone who has ever visited this site/ shown an interest in our vision!!

 Here is some recent work I did for my 2008 Demo Reel

Hey guyth,

I'm experiencing a bit of gamers block, so to speak. I can't seem to visualize where I want a few of my projects to go, so I'm going to ask for some feedback.

I'll cut right to the chase: What would make the perfect side-scrolling flash game? That is, if you could produce the perfect flash game, what would you incorporate in it (gameplay and graphics wise, as well as interactivity)?

Would it be flashy and polished? Would it be highly cinematic and stylized? Or would you go for a more gritty, realistic feel? What would be the basic premise? Would there be anything in it that you believe most flash games lack? And while I'm at it, what is one thing you hate about most flash games?

I'm basically trying get ideas for my games so they'll appeal to more people then just my narrow little perception of awesome. I've got an assload of free time on my hands, which means I'm able to put more time and energy into my projects, and I don't want to get too involved until I figure out where I want to go.

Thanks,

-Brian

hey guys. Brink of Alienation: IV got the #7 spot on newgrounds.com for best games of March. This is quite an achievement, and I am very proud of the game.

The forum's back, after what I'm told was some cataclysmic event of epic proportions.

Anyway, the forum itself has been re-organized and set back up, but it's lacking those graphics that make it look good (particularly the large banner at the top and the tabs that flank every box.) It does have some color added to it, but the old phpbb default stuff makes it look a bit odd. But it's fully functional again, with sections for just about everything and a couple of extra measures that will keep out spammers and bots...

Including me. I asked Grant if I could fix it up, he let me, and I did. Now being me, I won't sit around and watch it be destroyed, so if you spam it up I'll kick your ass. M'kay? M'kay. We could also use a moderator or two in order to keep it running smoothly when neither me or Grant are on.

 So anyway, go have a ball.

Hey guys. I have a question.

What could I change to make this website more enjoyable?

 If I redesigned the look, I am sure that more people would feel like the site is less of a mess. Also, I really want to get rid of spam, and fix the forum. Also make uploading games easier. 

Any comments/suggestions?
