This is a "Further Information" section of my main CV.
I have undertaken several Flash game design projects. The first was to design a game in which would attract visitors to my own website. In 2002, I had the idea of a driving game where you could shoot out speed cameras at the side of the road. The finished game was created using a combination of Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop and WavEditor and was named Camera Killer. The finished game was only 72k, and I promoted this game using 2 newsgroups, a few forums and the viral email power of 10 friends. The combined traffic to my site peaked at some 10,000 visits a day and brought over 2 million players to mfhughes.com since the game's launch. I later created a sequel (Camera Killer 2) which can be found here. The sequel has also had over 6 million players and has appeared on many other websites. It makes much more sophisticated use of Flash and Actionscript, containing a tiled scrolling backdrop and much better mathematics controlling the car, bullets and drone cars.
During the height of the Iraq Weapons of Mass destruction crisis, I was asked to design and write a game called "Weapons Inspector" for a website called Forced Reunited. Being a topical and cute/amusing game, this gained some 40,000 players during the first few weeks of release, and many more players since.
I have since gone on to design and program many other Flash games. The Caravan Toss alone game gained 10,000 visits over its launch day.
Some of these games are listed here:-
For each of these games I have designed both the graphics and gameplay and also written the Actionscript code. On average, my games get around 4000 combined plays per day.
