Best Practices: Designing & Developing content for the Sony PSP using Adobe Flash software

There's a new Adobe eSeimar coming up that we wanted to tell you all about:

Best Practices: Designing & Developing content for the Sony PSP using Adobe Flash software

Presented by Chris Blair and Jeff Nusz, Zodal (NZ)
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
1:00 P.M. PDT

There are many new opportunities to be found in delivering software services, content, and entertainment to your audience through screen-based devices supporting Adobe® Flash® and Adobe Flash Lite™ software. For game developers, support for content created using Adobe Flash on Sony's PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) game console is a great way to reach a new, diverse, and ever-growing pool of consumers on the go.

Using examples from fun games developed by Zodal, Chris Blair and Jeff Musz will demonstrate the PSP's strengths, limitations, and unique quirks that game designers and developers need to understand before creating content for it. They will look at specific techniques for maximizing the PSP's resources based on experience developing mobile games with Flash Lite 1.1 and Flash Lite 2.1 technology. They will also look at strategies for developing cross-platform games targeted across desktops, mobile phones, and portable devices such as the Sony PSP.

What you'll learn by attending this webinar:

  • The nuances in creating content for the Sony PSP using Flash Lite software
  • How to manage and maximize the resources available on the PSP vis-à-vis Flash Lite
  • How to reach new audiences as a games developer
  • How to create cross-platform games from desktop and mobile devices to portable electronic devices

Designing Animations eSeminar content

OZMaD Ted wallpaper animation for Flash Lite 1.1
Hey everyone, thanks to those of you who made it to last night's first eSeminar for OZMaD with Matt Pollitt. The presentation was full of some great practical information for anyone creating animations for Flash Lite content.

The meeting recording audio didn't work all that great, so we're going to re-record the session shortly and make that one available, but in the meantime we've uploaded the slides from the presentation here for you to have a look back over.

We've also got available the "OZMaD Ted" wallpaper animation that Matt used as an example in the session. Matt has created several animations in the "Ted" series, all of which are licensed for distribution through the Moket Content Network.

AND ... THE WINNER OF THE ADOBE T-SHIRT FROM LAST NIGHT'S MEETING IS STEVE SAGOVAC! Congratulations Steve, we'll be sending that your way shortly.
