Reprise d'un autre vieux projet de jeu vidéo développé sur Flash en 2012 avec mon personnage Teltok. Je retravaille ce jeu à partir de 2024 et je poursuis cette année 2025. #macromedia #Flash #gamedev #MacromediaFlash #Adobe #AdobeFlash #RuffleJs
Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was developed by Macromedia and is now owned by Adobe. RTMP was originally designed to establish a stable connection between a media server and a Flash player.
@arstechnica #Canva could twist the knife by purchasing or merging with #Figma. If I could go back in time I would tell #Macromedia, sell off assets like #Freehand and #Dreamweaver to #Quark in order to create more hyper competition in the market. #Adobe wouldn't be doing what its doing right now. Not many learned from the #Microsoft suite wars of the 90s that bundling is the end game.
i've been sitting on this gem for 25 years. i think it's time.
so back in 1997, i was a first-year undergrad and dial-up was finally rolling out to the general public in most of canada.
with every new welcome package, u of a students received a 25 page manual on setting up smtp/pop for eudora lite, and a copy of netscape navigator.
the Computing and Network Services department decided that the best way to onramp students to the world wide web was via an interactive multimedia tutorial for win95 and macOS that they built themselves with macromedia director
last year an old buddy was cleaning out his basement, and he found his NetSurf '97 CD. couldn't resist capturing some of the 
performance by virtual paul
we all wish him well 
ScummVM expands support for Macromedia Director https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/scummvm-expands-support-for-macromedia-director/
now to wear this for the next 10 years waiting for that 1/1000000 person to recognize it on the street
Mistodon: this decade saw the end of the line for the product introduced in 1996 as #FutureSplash Animator, before being bought out and renamed as #Macromedia's (and then Adobe's) #Flash multimedia software platform, the lightweight tech that launched a thousand indie cartoons and games on #Newgrounds and #Kongregate. This #teletext tribute by @illarterate was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.
ever since the demise of #macromedia director and flash, the web became a far less interactive place.
html5/js were supposed to be their edgy replacements, and instead became delivery methods for the same old static text we've seen since the early days.
before the graphical #worldwideweb was even around, the Mackerel Stack was a popular hypercard (supercard) stack released on floppy in the early 90s. it provided the kinds of interactivity that flash and director popularized online several years later.
i love dave groff's reflections on the creation of the stack, along with a short non-interactive recording of him goofing around with it
