- Adobe’s Creative Cloud subscription service will now offer Adobe Scout, a cloud-based set of tools for game developers, reports VentureBeat.
- “The tools enable developers to access a centrally located suite of tools for making their titles,” explains the post. “The aim is to streamline the game-development process from creation to final deployment.”
- Adobe Scout helps games run faster because it “uncovers granular internal information in ActionScript-based mobile and browser content to unlock significant performance optimization opportunities,” according to Adobe.
- The Creative Cloud service also includes Adobe Flash C++ Compiler, the Adobe Gaming SDK, and trial versions of Flash Professional CS6 and Flash Builder 4.7 Premium.
- The Flash C++ Compiler takes code from PC, Xbox, PlayStation 3, and iOS game engines and converts them so they are compatible on all browsers using the Adobe Flash player.
- Adobe hopes to convince more developers to use Flash, and argues that “using Flash makes developers more productive when it comes to cross-platform experiences,” notes VentureBeat.
- The post includes two videos detailing Adobe Scout and the Adobe Gaming SDK.
