Our talk is titled “We used to make banner ads. Now we make mobile games” and we’ll be talking about how we built our first two iOS titles with Adobe AIR. This introductory session will focus on mobile gaming concepts, interface and asset design for mobile, game level design, mobile game development with AS3, Adobe Native Extensions, leveraging the power of Stage3D with Starling, game analytics, testing, deployment, and what to do post launch.

This session will give you an insight into indie game development and is aimed at anyone with an interest in mobile development, particularly mobile gaming.

If that sounds like it floats your boat then come on down and check it out. If not, come along anyway and have a beer with us.

There are plenty of interesting and super smart people speaking at CF Objective this year covering a wide variety of topics, so it will be well worth coming. Full details can be found at cfobjective.com.au

See you there!
