[Hopperxx] Are there any Flash 3D gigs out there - from an ex SW3D-er :)

[Thomas Westin]

Hi Mal,

Good to hear from you, and nice game, I felt like 6 years old again playing with Lego :)

Can’t say how much Flash 3D gigs there are. My personal view is that Adobe missed the boats with both SW3D and Flash 3D. An epic fail which gives developers little choice but Unity today and likely in the near future too (when WebGL is good enough, I’m sure Unity will support it). 

I really hope Adobe gets back on track but until they deliver something as easy to use as Unity, I am staying away from Adobe’s dev tools. (Their deisgn tools is of course a different beast, which is more a case of monopoly)

Best regards,
Thomas
