Flash Game Monetization

Hey guys,
If you are using CPMStar - you should notice that you can`t get reports for more than 3 months at the same time. That is not deal breaker - till they have the highest eCPM ads-network =) But if you need that option here is small tool to help you out:

All hail to Megatron!

our new game for this special date:

Music by DrMackFoxx. He has much more cool stuff - check out on his NG page.

Great tnx to friends who helped me with testing and stuff - "Terrorer" & "Mr Anderson"!

PS I have used Skype first time for external testing - its very useful to watch how the others playing your game. That shows many bugs and ways to improve interface.

Hello Everybody!
Today is one of the date in my career - 1 year of Red Storm Universe. If it can be called in that way =)

I d like to tell you more about it - how much work, how many results and how much I got on it.
So, first of all - let`s sum all brand.
3.5 flash games release: "Red Storm", "Red Storm 2:Survival", "Red Storm Defense", "Tankman Survival"('Red Storm Robot Day').
Together they introduce "Tower Defense", "Survival" and "Seek'n'Destroy".

It was fun to code them - some complication was mostly with external API.
Whole team - 3 people(code,art,designer). First game in series we made in 20 days, cloning RoboKill - was not so great in result, but it was hard to beat so awesome game. Just today we have released 'Red Storm Defense' - and finally its not clone of anything anymore - its own solid game with own unique features. And in total we spend up to 4 months on all Red Storms.

some stats and facts:
9m+ gameplays.
Game-Ads brings more than 5k$+, Micro-transactions - 4k$+, Licenses - 9k$, iPhone - 1k$, so in total little less than 20k$.

Some stuff about MTX - most sales was on NinjaKiwi, Mochiads, Elite-Games.Net and that made 50% of all transactions. Geo - 55% is from US+Germany+UK+Canada.

Some info about iPhone - its hard to get there - especially with first game. iPad version in approval, and Defense game in development, witch will be released with shaders!

Some info about XNA porting - the 3rd coder has been working on it - and it`s still big pain in the ass. First one - it takes off from the project by family reasons, second one - it was just dumb, third one is never have time to finish it.

Have a nice day! Plz rate 5/5 for Defense on Newgrounds, tnx!

Interesting news from Adobe Max - Soon flash player will do hardware support for 3D. AlternativaPlatform already working on Engine that use it, and have just show off what they already done:

Hey folks,
as you probably already know - I`m the one of men who working with YouYouWin.

Actually everything is quite simple - you sent them a game with their API, they sent you back money. For me they use moneybookers.
As far as you know - most of Asian portals simply blocks all external links in our games via flash player security model. The sad thing about it - is the legal way of using flash player, but, tnx to YouYouWin, games that distributed via them - unblocked, so ads work and earn money for a Developer.

"YouYouWin"[Distribution service] is division of "7k7k"[Web Portal], they are not the same companies(some people tend to think they are). As a big company, they have many people and use many ways to tell about themselves. So you probably going to get, or will get soon messages from them, few or a lot =).

What I d like to say - they reliable, when it comes to money and their service.
But if somebody else here have any experience with them - in bad or good way- would be great you to share with us as well.
