AdSense for games

Google announced their plan to roll-out AdSense for games today. Currently the project is in beta and limited to developers with very high gameplay rates(500,000 daily). While my games are not even close to that number, I still find this to be a very exciting day for Flash games. I believe that this validates Flash game development as a true money making industry. Getting big names involved in this business is the first step towards a more fair system for developers.

MochiAds makes a partnership with Google

MochiAds has been doing a great job creating a fair and approachable system to make money from Flash games. This will make what MochiAds has been doing even better by increasing the revenue from typically lower paying countries. My greatest hope is that the income from ad revenue will eventually trump that of sponsorship offers, which is not the most fair system for the developer. The biggest problem is that there will still need to be a fair revenue stream for the portals. The only thing running through my head is that Google may eventually become the biggest game portal in the world. I honestly don’t think it would be out of the question considering Googles record of success. If that were to happen I feel as though developers producing high-quality professional games may be able to make a good living.

Android?

I would also say I am curious if this could be a hint at possibly seeing Flash on the Android OS.

I made this a long time ago. It is a experiment to fake 3d rotation with a very 2d character. I recently was tweaking the panda body and thought I would post it. I am not posting the source as it is some old ugly AS2.0.

Move your mouse to make the panda look at the cursor.
