Away Builder. Or our proud Varyag does not surrender to the enemy.

On the death of flash technology, many copies were broken.
Someone does not like flash in principle, someone likes it.
But the fact remains that this is the most common technology in its class.
Despite the active development of competitors in the market of igproizvodstva, like Unity3D, flash is still quite relevant for browser games. And even trying to be relevant to mobile phones.
Adobe continues to develop its technology and not so long ago, a set for game developers was released in conjunction with Away3D
Adobe Gaming SDK. Which includes 3D engine, 2D engine, GUI library and other pleasures in the form of an advanced profiler.

And on May 8 a new product appeared, about which the Bolsheviks talked so much that the developers of flash games in 3D dreamed.

Together with the new release of the Away3D engine, the alpha version of Away Builder has been released.
Developer site

Yes, yes, this is what you see in the picture, if to speak with yellow slogans, this is “Unity3D from flash”.
This is an editor linking engine and code. While this is of course only the alpha version. And there is not all available from the planned. You can build scenes, play with models and animations. Those. actually see what the scene will look like in the game.

It is restricted to covering materials, textures, lights, meshes and geometry.

A very important part is that the editor is completely open, GitHub .
Developers will be able to make plugins and extend it, making the development of their own projects even easier.

AWAY currently has a full technology stack for developers. 3D engine, bullet physics engine, integration with 2D and good GUI.
The appearance of the editor makes development even more convenient.

I really hope that adobe will not stop developing AIR and finish its work on mobile phones.
For I like flash technology and enjoy working with it.
