2013 Adobe And Gaming
Diana Helander has written up a great summary of our gaming agenda for 2013, and has included this graphic with some pretty astounding statistics:
2012 AIR 3.6 Beta
AIR 3.6 Beta is now on Adobe Labs. Included in this new release is the ability to package and load multiple SWFs (which provides developers with better memory management by allowing them to load the assets they need dynamically at ANY time from multiple SWFs, and not have to load them all up-front).
2012 Lots Of Adobe Gaming News
Earlier this week we announced the availability of Adobe Game Developer Tools which includes a new gaming SDK to help developers get started, Adobe Scout (formerly Monocle), and the Flash C++ Compiler.
Along with this we've also updated the Adobe Gaming site and the ADC Game Development site.
In all of this excitement you may have missed the publication of two important guides (both intended to be living work-in-progress documents), Game development and Game art, design, and business.
