[casual_games] Question About Adobe/Macromedia Director as a Development Platform....

[Jonas Beckeman]

> Has anyone on this list TOUCHED director, in the last 3-4 years?


Yup, I used it up until about 2 years ago. The 8.5 version with the 3D  
engine (in 2001?) was a significant update, but since then it's all been  
pretty much about IDE UI and Flash support.

I have a hard time believing that they'll be able to do much with this old  
and bloated codebase, but maybe they're rewriting large portions of it as  
we speak... However, with their track record of untested/buggy updates to  
the Shockwave player, it seems far-fetched that they'll be able to pull it  
off.

Besides, I find that many basic Director paradigms are just plain *wrong*,  
I wouldn't feel comfortable using it unless they changed it at its very  
core.

Still. If I had to do a 3D web game for both Mac and PC today, I'd  
probably use Director. While cursing.
