Having developed Iceblast, which in total took me 8 months, I’ve decided to try my hand at smaller simpler games to be distributed online and hopefully get sponsorship and ad  money. 

I’m starting a new series of games called Rescue Heroes. It features simple gameplay around the theme of “real heroes”. The first of it will be Rescue Heroes:Fire Rescue. You basically control a team of firemen that have to catch people jumping out of a burning building.

I plan to have it set within a 1930s setting with similar art style(hopefully as I am quite woeful at art). The only thing complete so far is the logo.

Its a bit strange to see your words translated into 4 different languages. Also interesting to see “slangish” words like Highscore get translated into a really long foreign word. Iceblast is translated into German, French, Spanish & Japanese, see if you know which is which.

Well, i’ve put it up for sponsorship on flashgamelicense.com and so far I haven’t got any bids yet. There have been a few sponsors that have taken a look but no one has put in a bid. I’ve gotten a complaint saying that it was too hard to get a highscore. I think Iceblast may be a bit too complex for this sort of situation as although it is relatively simple in terms of mechanics, to be able to master the tactics involved in getting a high score is more complex. I’ve added a tips & tricks section in the description so hopefully it’ll help them along. I guess I might change the help to a tips section to help nudge people into the right direction.
