Post My thoughts on monetizing FH games.
I've always held to the belief that all our productions, animations and games should be available for free, without ads and any other 'money-based' addons. To that end, I have also kept forkheads free from ads and popup/unders. I've also turned down a broker trying to buy this domain - after saying I'd sell this site for something like a 13,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 euros lump sum. What we do here is for fun; I expect no financial recompense - the smiles (and occasional incoherent rage) from the audience is enough payment for me.

This was found in an ancient NG topic.

>Hello,

>I use your game "Sex Kitten Series" on my website www.2flashgames.com , which can be found here: http://www.2flashgames.com/f/f-865.htm

>Presently I have over 1000 games and am developing a collage and simple site redesign on the front and other pages. This collage will have 8 of the best characters and yours has made it to the last run of selection. I was wondering if you would grant me permission to use your character on an unlimited time basis, I would be willing to offer you $50 dollars for such an unlimited license. (Note: This is taken into account that after all characters are picked we finalize for selecting yours)

Hey,
I grant you the permission to do it for free if its any of the characters from any of our anime games. You see we are borrowing character artwork from various series and artists. We distribute these games with the intent that they are free and we do not gain profit from them keeping in mind that if we marketed the games we made with copyrighted artwork that is not our own we would be liable for repercussions. If you were to use characters from some of my brother’s movies or from I Own time then yes I would ask for some form of funding for them. But otherwise unless you were making money directly from using copyrighted anime you can use them at your will.

Thanks for your time
Robert Hurrell

To stick with tradition, none of the sex kitten (or sex kitten spinoffs) will have ads, nor will I earn any form of monetary profit from them. I am not accepting any donations at this time - the supply lines are secure and the site is paid for until 2015; but if future circumstances change, I will announce that I need donations to last a month or so (That's about 10$).

so if we were to make our own characters, then we'd charge?

You could. If any game you make, using original characters have purchasable DLC, you have the right to charge. If you'd like, we'll host/advertise it - but I refuse to earn any profit for doing so.

Me, I'll keep all the games I make as freeware to allow for maximum distribution.

Yeah, I have not much to say but I concur with what's said here, and have thought of the subject on and off. But yeah, I don't inject any mochiads in my flash stuff or anything but I don't see anything wrong with others that do it. I'm sure in time I might think differently, but I figure it's something where it's something to do for entertainment and sharing the story. I'm about on the same page. That's also a pretty nice e-mail you dug up there too.
