GO VOTE!!!If you were a fan of Paper Tree Machine, go vote for it in the Third Annual Citizens for Global Solutions Flash Contest! This animation brings the global to local, as it shows how global issues are everyone’s issues. Deforestation is everyone’s problem, and this animation hopes to raise that awareness. Citizens for Global Solutions is a great organization, that supports initiatives for better Global Awareness, and making great strides in society. They support issues like Climate Change and the Darfur Crisis, which are very important problems in society today.Neglected Sky won their first contest nearly 2 years ago, and I am hoping for possibly another win this year as well (you can see how much my animation skills have grown ). Neglected Sky also went on to win the Environment Award at the Media That Matters Film Festival V, which screened across the United States!So go watch all the great Flash movies, and pick your favorite from the list. If you want to vote for mine, it’s the first on the list. Anyone can vote, so go vote!Click Here to Vote!

Hey everyone,Paper Tree Machine is the latest jmtb02 Flash animation! Yes, an animation! I have not made an animation in over a year, and finally, I’ve had the time to make one.Following some of my previous themes, as seen in Neglected Sky and Punt-a-Penguin, I made an environmentally conscious film about recycling and saving the forests from being cut down. It’s pretty run-of-the-mill when it comes to conservation, but I think it gets the point across.This film, a minute and a half long, took only two days for me to create. It has some of my best animation in it. I used some techniques I have yet to use in one of my posted animations, so I hope you’ll notice some differences from my previous work. Hope you guys like it! Link is available on the right.Also check out my newest, most stellar game Extreme Missle Defense X-treme 3d. Collaborating with Glaiel-Gamer of GlaielGames.com and Greg Loire of Kongregate.com, it’s extreme. Check it out.

Hey everyone,Ball Revamped V is in the pipeline, and as always, I am opening up the doors to donations again. Donations really help, because as you might know, these games take forever to make. There are nearly 20 power ups to make, and each have to be able to interact with the over 100 levels this next version is going to have. The art is growing with each game, and so does the difficulty of producing a title like this. Such a long project requires additional funding to float me through college and bills, so I would love support again this year. This year, I am running both an auction and donation drive. Both are pretty awesome.Guitar Hero AuctionI am doing something a bit different this year in addition to the donations. Instead of just asking for donations, which I am incredibly thankful for, I will also be including an auction of my Guitar Hero Playstation 2 set. The Guitar Hero set includes Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2, and a Guitar controller. All three are used. If a jmtb02 Studios fan wins the set, I’ll sign the guitar, send some stickers, list you in the Ball Revamped 5 credits, and write a personal thanks to the winner.If you would like to bid on the Auction for the Guitar Hero set, you may bid on it on the online Ebay Auction. The auction ends next Wednesday. Please, only bidders from the United States and Canada only, as the games only work in this area. Note you must have a Playstation 2 system in order to play these games. Go bid!. Auction ends Wednesday, April 11 at 2 pm PST.Otherwise, if you would like to make a donation, I’m willing to give something back for your help. Anyone in the world can make a donation!Donation LevelsBased on how much you donate, I will send you some of my cool stuff as a token of thanks.

Gotcha! Well, maybe. The site came decked out yesterday in blues and grays, with the announcement that jmtb02 Studios was going to be sold to Dicko from BDS Flash. You can view the news post before this one for more information. Even funnier was the contribution of Dicko’s news post and image.The hoax even managed to get on a megalist of April Fools Jokes compiled for this year. Well, jmtb02 Studios is still owned by me, I’ll still be making games, and yes, Dicko is quite capable of drawing a ball. Back to Flash .

Hi everyone,This is John, telling everyone that today the merger of jmtb02 Studios and BDS Flash will result in the total acquisition of jmtb02 Studios into forum user “Dicko” (BDSFLASH.COM).The Ball Revamped, Four Second, Scribble!, and Parachute Retro series will be handed off to the young developer, with hopes that he will continue his reign as a Flash developer and provide the world quality that we can only assume is as grand as the little impact I had.In addition, Dicko will be taking on the entire production of Ball Revamped 5, and will reap all the benefits therein. I will mostly be there for drawing the ball, which Dicko and I have experienced is incredibly difficult to do.We also decided that Red Pt 2 will be skipped, due to its long production time. Thus, we will be skipping directly to Red Pt 3, to avoid the mess of making Pt 2. You will just have to use your imagination to figure out what went there!Alas, it will be sad departing this briefly from my studios. Hopefully you’ll continue the games and animations I have created on this site!-John
