Where's All the Alchemy?

Posted by NAveryW Feb. 28, 2009 @ 2:08 AM EST

After Doom was submitted to Newgrounds, I expected to see people submitting their own Doom WADs, ports of open-source games, and games they had made in a C language. But as it is, Doom appears to be the only Alchemy conversion on the entire site. Why is this? Could it be that every other potential alchemist on the site is like me and was unable to get Alchemy working on their computer(s)? I really do hope that when Alchemy is officially released, it won't require Cygwin, because I've tried and tried, followed online tutorials, including a video tutorial step-by-step, and was unable to get Alchemy working. Maybe it just won't work on Vista? I shudder to think that's the case.

Also, I'm most likely going to be submitting a new game later today. Rather, it's kind of halfway between a real game and a practical joke. It'll be interesting to see how it does on NG, as it'll be the first Flash I've submitted while linking to it in a video on my WalrusGuy account on YouTube upon its release.

True. Hey. Your SP character on the profile reminds me of my friends' try of making himself in South Park. I subbed you on YouTube and I am BuddyComics. He is Turtwig70. Keep making flash vids here. :D

i wouldn't be surprised if not a lot of people are competent enough to use alchemy. probably the people who are competent enough to use it either can't get it to work or won't buy it, preferring to make original games.

Alchemy is free, and can indeed be used for original games, i.e. games one made in C++, or custom Doom WADs.

How can you download flash for free??

Feb. 28, 2009 | 3:01 PM NAveryW responds:

Flash isn't free. Alchemy is. Actually, you don't need Flash to use Alchemy. You need the Flex SDK and Cygwin, both of which are also free.
