I am finally back home from the European tour and I wanted to let you know about all kinds of cool things that have been happening with Flash. We are in the middle of GDC right now and the buzz around Flash is really exciting. Here we go.
Stage3D on mobile is released
You’ve been waiting patiently for a long time and now it is finally here. The AIR 3.2 RC is now on the Adobe Labs site. With this you can package your Stage3D content for iOS and Android. Now there are lots of optimization techniques to help you get your stuff running as fast as possible. Look for more details on those soon.
Watch the Flash Gaming Summit keynote
Thibault and I did the keynote at FGS last Sunday and we talked about the latest stuff happening with the Flash Player. More specifically we showed some demos of Stage3D on mobile. Check out the video to see how it runs.
Epic launches Citadel demo
We have been demoing the Epic Citadel demo for a while now. Just yesterday they released this demo on the web so everyone can play with it. Now this demo requires Flash Player 11.2 that you can get on Adobe Labs. Take it for a test drive!
First Stage3D game hits the app store
Spaced Away is a great game that has been in the iOS app store for a while now. Well Falanxia has updated the game to take advantage of Stage3D. This is officially the first Stage3D game to be live on the store.
New Adobe gaming site
Part of the reason I have been kind of quiet lately is because I was busy helping to build our new gaming micro-site. The new site, gaming.adobe.com, is a place where people can get information about why people should be using Flash for their games. People have asked for this type of thing for a while and I’m psyched that it is finally here. I did all the HTML and visual design for the site.
I’m probably forgetting some stuff but I promise to be more active on the blog and gotoAndLearn once GDC comes to a close.
