We shall not use Flash as a development platform... it is a silly idea!
Well, after trying to create a code base that would suffice for our upcoming projects, Jax found that things are just too damn slow with the Flash player.
Limited sound channels, very slow alpha blending and performance drops when scaling images was just too much to continue developing our projects with it.
Luckily we think our in house libraries and cross platform engine should be able to handle what we need.
It's going to probably need a bit of work to make things compatible, but it seems that the whole team is behind the move - so we've dumped Flash in favour of C++ again - yay :)
It wasn't exactly a waste of time, it's good to know this stuff, and to know what to avoid, and the projects are only really just taking off. Luckily I've had a peek at the OOI stuff already (was working on it a few weeks back) and we had a 2 1/2 meeting today where it was explained in detail.
Tomorrow we begin proper, and I'm really looking forward to it.
