Games were judged by a panel of expert judges, including Mochi Media and
FreeSpin3D employees.
"It's great to see the creativity of our developer community in action,"
said Jameson Hsu, Chief Mochi at Mochi Media. "FreeSpin3D gave them a great
new set of tools and a whole new palette to work with, and the results were
pretty spectacular. This is a great example of the tremendous advances in
gaming using Adobe Flash technology -- both in how games are developed and
how gamers interact with them."
Developers submitting entries were required to take advantage of Mochi
Media's leaderboards functionality, with the option to take advantage of
the FreeSpin3D platform. FreeSpin3D enables rapid development and real-time
rendering of 3D content in Adobe Flash. FreeSpin3D technology is based on
its propriety One Layer 3D™ (OL3D) core technology, which allows
real-time rendering of 3D content on two-dimensional environments, such as
Web browsers and power limited low-end devices such as mobile phones.
"The games that were submitted were fantastic -- not just the winners, but
all of them," said Amir Fischer, CEO of Revolver. "It's inspiring to see
the creativity of Mochi Media's developer community in their use of
FreeSpin3D technology, and we are looking forward to seeing how they use
FreeSpin3D to push the envelope of how games are developed using Adobe
Flash technology and what they can become."
