Crazy Jay was the guy who made stick page, he's actually still active with a fairly large community. He's currently is working on a mobile version of Stick War that you can play against other people. It's pretty good, captures some of the nostalgia but now you can play vs a friend.

Checking in as one of the flash games dev, maaan, what a great time that was. Forget mobiles, or steam, with flash, as a dev, you had access to millions of people. So, unlike the modern "stores", anyone, and I mean anyone, could get at least some valuable exposure, like 10k plays or something, and that's a huge number that either kills you for sure (so you understand your game actually sucks), either lifts you up beyond your expectations. To put it in perspective, with Android, you'd probably hit 50-500 plays before making a desicion to just stop trying. What a shame. And that's why Flash was such a gem technology back in the days. Talking numbers, great flash games had millions upon millions of views, millions. Some of that from the returning players sure, but still, just think about that. I'd argue that some of those games outnumbered the so called AAA games from those corporate studios with strict rules and shit all creativity. Flash is a thing from the internet of old, it let people connect directly, heart to heart, dev to player, no authentication or credit card required. It is missed, and it just gets more and more boring as the corporations slowly absorb the player base around the world.

Well, you can play any basically any flash game for free, so it would obviously have more players than anything you have to pay for. I don’t think there’s an inherent difference in quality between flash games and most modern games, but flash games were clearly easier to access. Whether or not you think that makes them better than modern games is up to you, but I personally wouldn’t.
@jopdog
@jopdog 3 ай бұрын
@@Aplesedjri don’t think they meant flash games > AAA games in quality. flash games being free is what made it so popular AND feel more human than a lot of what we have today. there was over-saturation with flash games back then just as there are AAA games today but i think the difference is that flash games are almost inherently a labor of love, made by people not companies. it’s a testament to the old internets guerrilla-ness. which can’t exist in the same way it use to. this isn’t to diss modern gaming, more so lament over what felt like a simpler time (i think, or at least that’s what i’m doing)

This era of the internet was so inspiring. It felt like the ultimate hub for aspiring artists. I guess the internet still is today, but I don’t know, places like newgrounds just don’t seem as popular as they used to be nowadays. Not to sound cliche, but the internet really is dominated by more “corporate” websites these days so it just feels different than it used to. I’m sure aspiring artists can still find ways to shine in this new landscape though. It just feels a lot less centralized now so it’s harder

yep. Growing up on newgrounds was incredibly inspiring. A lot of the animations look crappy by today's standards, but as a 12 year old, you could look at those crappy animations and say to yourself "I can do that". Adobe flash was one easy download away, and the sky was the limit. Without flash I never would have learned how to code. I think you're right, there's a lot less room for "crappy" artists to shine through today, since corporate (even small 3 or 4 man LLCs i.e., successful youtube channels) media dominates the landscape. Newgrounds slogan was everything by everyone. KZbin seems to be a few things by a few people.

Nowadays its a shell of its former self, but back in the late era of flash games it was just as significant as the other giants mentioned.

I think I’m a bit older than Redlyne, but I was a young kid during the early 2000s boom of Flash games, and I was lucky enough to go to elementary and middle schools with computer labs and savvy computer teachers. I remember I had one computer teacher who was super tech savvy, and he made and maintained the school website himself, even adding a page full of Flash games links that he had collected himself for us. He would add new links for every new season like Halloween and Christmas, and he made sure all the sites were kid-safe and didn’t have any rated-R content using a firewall program he made. (But being the kids we were we always found sites that somehow go through the blocking haha). After the obligatory lessons about using MS Word and PowerPoint, then some Mavis Beacon typing practice, he would let us loose on the flash games page. Just the look and feel of these small window games with blocky hand drawn 2D sprites and super compressed sound effects bring back so many great memories. Rest in Peace Mr. Mabli.

You're right about the nostalgia bit. The thing I feel most nostalgic for are experiences you can never go back to, things I haven't done in years, or things you can only experience once, such as me being a 15 year old kid customizing the hell out of the painterly pack sneakily at night when I wasn't allowed on the PC. Regarding you FNAF example - I'm on the same boat, I'm not feeling nostalgic for the game itself however I am feeling nostalgic for watching markiplier play the game as I come back home from school. As some old saying goes: "you don't miss X, you miss how you used to feel about X"

One of my fond memories of Newgrounds animation (although I found it on KZbin because I was way too young to be on Newgrounds in it’s peak era) was “There She Is!!” by a group of 3 Korean creators called SamBakZa in which a bunny girl falls in love with a boy cat in a world where that was not socially acceptable, symbolizing how interracial relationships (most likely Japanese and Korean relationships) were looked down upon in society and the series targets how love should be acceptable no matter one’s race or gender identity. In contrast to some other popular Newgrounds media, it was definitely a breath of fresh air with depth and a positive message to me. :D

A shame that I didnt get to see other games like Toss The Turtle or Super Smash Flash, but then it made me realize that a dedicated 2 hour long video on the subject is still not long enough to cover just how big flash games were, and in some ways, still are today. Nice to see many of those big names 15-20 years ago kept at their craft and are mainstays til this day. I will say, I cannot forgive you for not including Spank The Monkey.

Man, this was one hell of a nostalgia trip. One of my favorites back in the day, and i know a lot of other people will agree with me, was Dino Run. Man that shit was awesome as a kid. Back when the multiplayer servers were still alive it was the most fun 8 year-old me could have with a computer. Eventually bought it on Steam as an adult and got all the achievements. And when you showed Miami Shark my fuckin brain exploded, it's been over a decade and a half since I remembered that game! The wild west era of the internet and Flash in general was such a unique time that you just had to be there for, before everything got corporatized and ad-ridden. Thanks for helping me remember such a huge focus of my childhood!

DeviantArt had (still has technically, even though the files don't display anymore) an entire flash category that primarily hosted flash animations (the site didn't really have a video player until the later 00's, so flash was the only way to have sound with your animations). It wasn't uncommon to see Newgrounds artists cross-post their stuff on there too. Most of my memories of DA flash games were those drag-and-drop paper doll dress up games, though. There were tons of them.

The generational differences in games here are nuts. I graduated high school in 2006, so I mostly remember the earlier set of games that were often much more simplistic than the later ones you brought out. I didn't know a lot of these, but it's cool to see how Flash evolved after I was playing the games on a daily basis.

XGen, the creator of StickRPG, unfortunately passed away a few years back. XGen Studios will continue, but we lost an icon. I've not watched far enough to see if you've included the Shark series, but Wiesi also passed last month. The creator of The Skullkid also passed. While we're being all nostalgic, we should spare a thought for the Flash icons who aren't with us anymore.

On launcher games: I believe the first launcher game was Kitten Cannon from around 2005, although that one didn't seem to have upgrades like later instances of the genre did. Hedgehog Launch (jmtb02, from June 2008) seems to be the first example that really hits the formula. Toss the Turtle was another big one from 2009-ish.
