Like everyone else around these parts I have this huge, ambitious old school CRPG project that will never be started or finished.
Since technically most of the Codex favorites could be created in Flash I have been thinking about making an even more streamlined version of my game in Flash. Do people in general (and the Codex gentlemen in particular) play any of the more 'demanding' Flash games? Most of what I have been able to find are derpy jrpgs which seem to hugely popular (1. Make a NESque game, 2. Profit from all the hipster journos. Like Sonny or Breath of Death VII in xblig), so my wild guess would be that anything that demands more than 2 seconds of attention wouldn't gather huge popularity in the Flash circles (and consequently profit since Flash market is very much volume driven).
Then again, Flash games are somewhat cross platform and easily distributed, the platform isn't too bad (if somewhat limited) and there is change of making at least a few six-packs out of it which might be a lot more than a real downloadable game might make.
So, would any of you bother playing a Flash RPG in the style of, let's say Might & Magic or old Ultimas?
