A new gaming platform and a new iOS

Bigger news first:

Epic Games has just released at the Adobe conference that Unreal Engine 3 will be released for Adobe's Flash 11.0 and up! This means that here at Mental Orange, we could make little sub-games, or convert other games that we are/will be making over for Flash, and we'll be able to play them in-browser. Facebook, Google+ (maybe in the future), or just on the web. This would be a great way for us to demo our games or products before you download them.

Secondary news:

Apple Co. just also released that they are coming out with the new iPhone, the iPhone 4S. This will have the A5 CPU/GPU combo that the iPad 2 has. Since they are claiming that it will have up to 5 times faster CPU/GPU speeds, it will be able to game better. It will also use their new iOS5, which will hopefully be supported by UE3.

The one downside to this is that Apple charges $100 to register as a developer, and to put your app onto iTunes, and with how terrible iTunes is now these days, it's not worth the time and energy to mess with that. If they didn't charge for that, it may be worth it, but it may also be worth to pay the $100 if we wanted to try and sell a game.

That's all for now.
