Submit Content

a scene from rtil's Gum Submit original files to ABS that you created.

You are submitting your content because you want your work published with Albino Blacksheep.

Where to Submit?

November 16, 2009: The old method was just too complicated for some people. Contact me by E-mail if you'd like to have your animations featured on this Web site. I will not accept mass-emailed games, however, and you must include the permission line (see below).

New requirement

August 1, 2008: It is now a requirement that you place "albinoblacksheep.com" somewhere in the animation to indicate that albinoblacksheep.com is granted permission to publish the file. Something along the lines of "permission to be hosted by albinoblacksheep.com" in the corner of the play screen is fine. A link is even better. A link with the logo is the best. A link with a sheep logo that you draw yourself is the bestest.

Guidelines

  1. Flash files should contain a preloader. You may use the ABS preloader or your own.
  2. Use the correct tool for the job. Animations should be made in Macromedia Flash and not in Windows Movie Maker or PowerPoint.

Getting your content accepted

  1. ABS prefers to showcase content from its forum members.
  2. ABS prefers smaller file sizes. Less than 2 MB if possible, but larger is fine if you can justify the longer download and have done what you could to make it as small as possible.
  3. ABS saves a lot of bandwidth if you add "Presented by www.albinoblacksheep.com" in the your credits or use the ABS Preloader. It stops many people from stealing.
  4. ABS does not like when you lipsync to other people's music in front of a webcam.
  5. ABS does not like animations that have no sound.
  6. ABS does not like badly drawn stick figures.
  7. ABS does not like swearing too much more than necessary.

Why should I send my file to you?

I don't have to convince people for those who know this site well, but just incase, here's the pitch.

Firstly, Albino Blacksheep has millions of visitors, so you will get exposure. However, it is not uncommon for sites these days to have many visitors. It is sometimes a negative for artists, as their work gets lost in large sites. For submissions that are accepted onto Albino Blacksheep, such work is posted prominently on the main page of the site and sent out to all RSS subscribers. Albino Blacksheep hand-selects very few submissions, so your work is not overlooked by regular visitors compared to sites with automatic submissions.

When the content becomes older, it will be indexed into the correct categories on the site for long life. If enough submissions by the same author are accepted, the author can get a directory that features only their content.

Albino Blacksheep will host your content and place it on a human-readable simple URL without spyware or popup windows on the page.

On this site, it is encouraged that you include your name and blog's Web address in your media file. We do not watermark or crop your work. On ABS Forums you can get feedback on your work both before and after it is completed.

Albino Blacksheep is a tight and close community and all parties should appreciate including a new artist like yourself into the community.
