Well, all the games here are made in flash, but it's expensive (699$) and difficult to use. If you want to do it just for fun, try game maker or the games factory 2.

Yah flash is really expensive. Unless you're a student it is significantly lower.

If you want to make an fps in flash the you might want to get the unity engine. If it's just a simple on than you can just make your own engine or not. A strategy games is relatively simple once you have all the logic and AI in place and it's a tile based one.

Hi Darkroot! I have a question. On your last post you mentioned that he should use unity to make an fps in flash? Unity can make flash games? Wow, didn't know that. If that's the case, I think it might be worth a look at. Shiva only has LUA.

Yes, the unity engine has been ported to flash and a bunch of platforms now. First unity game I've seen was interstellar marines but Kongregate had/has a contest with the engine. It's a pretty cool and powerful 3d engine.
