During my studies while I was in college, majoring in Simulation and Game Development, I took two full semesters of Game Development using Flash. This was the hardest class I've ever taken, perhaps it was due to the text books chosen and they didn't seem to help, poorly written, I'm sorry but during my studies, I found most of the textbooks we paid a lot of money for, was a waste, now don't get me wrong, I love my textbooks, especially well written ones! I can often be found in the tub, soaking, bubbles, candles and flower petals, well not the last two, I was just kidding about that. But I get more enjoyment from reading a textbook than from reading any other type of book.
I still got perfect scores in those classes, it was tough though! So I have a tremendous amount of respect for indie game developers or game developers in general who make games using Flash. To me I would have all my teeth pulled out without numbing them than experience that again. So it goes without saying the first game listed here is developed by David S Gallant, @davidsgallant on Twitter, check him out, cool guy, very neat games and if you can check them out here at his site: http://davidsgallant.com/
And try this short but fun game of his out first, the art style reminds me of Earthbound and I loved that game! He informed me that @Harry_Houdini was the games writer. See now there are two people you can follow on Twitter, if you haven't already, YAY! Here's the link: http://davidsgallant.com/2012/05/17/apocalypse-later/
Well check it out, drop him a line on Twitter and follow him. Being indie is tough, but a lot of these guys, eat drink and sleep game development. I've got a lot of catching up to do! Thanks!!!
