I'm a game Game Designer and Project Manager. My focus is on flash and social network game development although I've worked on many different projects in the past. I've spent the last couple years in Nashville, TN building an indie game development scene. Part12 Studios was a result of that and I hope to see more projects and companies develop here.

Adobe itself developing Edge and dropping future development of flash for mobile... google dropping future support for flash in their OS also.. iOS will certainly not be repealing their policy for flash... and then Using AIR to port apps ...
yea the other thing i think that really sucks about android in my experience is that while iOS devices But in my recent game I found that a benchmark i did showed that a majority of the tablets and phones that i tested with performed worse than my iPhone 3GS ...
anyone who has an iphone 4 yea probably can hold off.. but anyone still on 3g/3gs this would be a massive upgrade.. i'd rather wait another year or so till my iphone 4 contract is up and get the iphone 5.. I think a lot of people will be in ...
yea my thought was purely opinion.. i guess i didn't realize that when an item like a stolen copy of halo 3 is brought to a pawnshop or gamestop, that the s/n of that game is registered in a database where the victim could call a hotline and pin point ...
