Unity 3D,a game engine that is frequently used by INDIE and many Professional game developers has planned to ditch ADOBE FLASH export module.
The engine which simplified the process of exporting a game to multiple formats without facing the programming difficulties has planned to stop their deployment option of a video game to flash player.
According to the company's CEO David Helgason "We will keep the current Flash deployment feature set functioning throughout the Unity 4.x cycle and will include bug fixes made in upcoming Unity 4.x iterations.We do not plan, however, to make further significant investments in deployment to the platform."
Well it seems many of the indie developers out there might feel it disheartening since Flash is one of the biggest platforms of the online gaming community.Well there is nothing to be disheartened because Unity has its own Web Player which works very well.
With the introduction of DirectX 11 in Unity 4.x indie game developers can make AAA quality games at their own workspace.
Well the recent updates of Flash Player have got stability issues as the CEO pointed out the same in his blog.
So in the meantime we can only hope that Unity supports the export module to HTML5 which has a become a great gaming platform for the developers.
You can read the full blog post on UNITY's official blog.
Please share your views about the decision.
