WHOH THERE.  Yeah you thought we were just all about Flash games or Wii and Zebra-shaped birthday cakes or something…but I am here to talk about this extremely bizarre product we started consuming by the bagful, and sometimes the boxful. There’s this weird product called “Crisps” we bought recently at Costco after our Admin Assistant […]

Well we want to see just how good you are in the official Obsessive Compulse Tournament! Play through each level of the new tournament edition game. The players with […]

What a day what a day what a day. I’ve been busy all day finishing up the levels for the Assassin Bow Woman game, which should be ready soon, although a few snags have been hit, but this morning I decided to get the engine done for the other game I’d like out this month, […]

One of the hardest parts about making a Flash game is coming up with a name. It’s amazing that so much is going to bank on the title of a game. It is probably the one thing the player is going to see before any other aspect of the game, so it must reflect the […]

I arrived at my parents house today to see them for my birthday, I’m currently working out of my old bedroom which is very odd indeed. I booked tomorrow off with Dan to see my friends for my 21st birthday then its back to my house to avoid any further interruption to Armors busy schedule. […]

As a new feature to the blog, we will be reviewing games that we played and liked. We won’t really feature or talk about terrible games, because we don’t want to waste your time… but the ones that do something interesting or are exciting to play will merit a feature. We will cover all types […]

A few times a year our friends over @ MousePlanet put on Mouse Adventure @ Disneyland and California Adventures. Mouse Adventure can best be described as part-scavenger hunt, part-road rally, part-trivia challenge—a team-based competition that guarantees you will never look at the Disneyland Resort in the same way again. Team Skillz (Lisa, John, Jen & […]

I get asked a lot of questions about what it’s like here at the office. A lot of Flash developers work from their bedrooms toiling late into the night, and the idea of working at an actual office is interesting to some. I decided to answer the most popular questions, or at least the questions […]

There are a few things bugging me about Console games and I see them slowly seeping into Flash games.  A few game mechanics are making games more difficult and less fun to play, which causes a lot of friction when trying to beat a game for the first time.  I think there are good solutions […]

I haven’t made a post in a while here on the Blog, though I keep meaning to. So I have a few things to make note of. First things first I’ve just been informed by Dan that Shift 2 was featured on the Fox program found at the link below. Continuing on the mainstream success […]

I CAN’T STOP PLAYING THE GAME! Every stage is a hit of finely tuned adrenaline waiting for the ball to pass into victory or slowly fade into the eternal lope like metallic desk balls clicking away in the night. After much sweat, tears and balls, I got my total score to 54!! Can anyone beat […]

I recently made a game called Compulse, which you can play at the Armor Games site. This game is about bouncing a ball to the goal as simply as possible… you can drag as a few or as many tiles to help alter the ball’s trajectory. At the office, we have been playing this game […]

ArmorBlog readers, Chris of Con Artists Productions. Chris of Con Artists Productions, ArmorBlog readers. Introductions aside, lets get down to the business. Almost a year after the release of the first game, I’m more than happy to announce that The Last Stand 2: Stand Laster has been in production for 5 months and is nearing […]

Before the dawn of time, over a decade ago, there were but two companies. Two bitter rivals clashing over what was to become the biggest entertainment industry in the world – video games. Those companies were of course Nintendo and Sega. These days I’m a pretty huge fan of the big N but back then […]

To steer away from the RPG for a while, I have been working on small branch of the Dark Cut series.  I wouldn’t call it Dark Cut 3, but more of a Dark Cut 2.9 or a prequel of sorts.  Either way, It’s the 1940’s, deep in the heart of World War II.  A field […]

It seems like every Flash game website has a voting system. But I find interesting that the voting mechanism usually tells you the average vote score BEFORE you vote. So that got me thinking, what if the voting system hides the popular vote before playing and voting? For example, lets say that the vote bar […]

Hi guys, Dim here. I recently got home for Easter holidays and my sister Maddy showed me a photo of something from a recent birthday party she went to. This is so awesome: A James the Zebra cake! My sister has a friend called Rosie who is a massive fan of the James games….so her […]

* Update : 3/19/08.  If you are taking this article personally, you need to go take a break from the internet for a while.  Everyone has their favorite game, and I am just giving my argument, feel free to give yours. —————– I have been doing a lot of Flash programming recently, and decided to […]

We’ve covered the basics of what a class is, so lets look at how one is put together. A class is written in a separate file from your main .fla, with the .as filetype. For example, MyClass.as. The convention with class names is to use something called upper camelcase – writing the name with no […]

Hey, Fil here. I am the new member of the Armor Games team! I am really excited to be part of this great gaming community! Right now I do many different things ranging from helping out around the office, to helping out with the website and the online community. I used to create websites on […]

Hey, Dim here again. I wanna show you all the main reason I ended up doing this kind of work. This game, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is the beginning of it all. It wasn’t the first game I played but the it was probably the first that I really felt connected to. […]

Shockwave is one of the largest game sites on the internet, and its an honor to get one of our games featured on their homepage. Make sure to send a big congratulations to John, the mastermind behind the project. Want to Play?? (Click Here) -Daniel

This RPG has been serious business, so I am happy to say that I am starting to wrap things up this week. I just have to problem-solve a few more things, as illustrated above, but for the most part everything is getting done. Making this game has been quite a journey for me. It started […]

Slightly later than I intended, this post. But the good news is that SHIFT 2 is ready to play on Armor for the next few days ( until Friday) before it begins its rounds elsewhere on the net. Have fun 🙂
