After the summer break we’re back with our monthly issue of the Spotlight.
This month we feature maybe one of the most ambitious projects ever attempted with Flash: DOFUS, a huge MMORPG (massive-multiplayer-online-rpg) created by the talented French guys of Ankama Studio.

Enjoy the reading.

In case you haven’t heard about the Studio 8 launch yet, visit www.macromedia.com and also check out the Flash Developer Centers. Time to play with the new toy!

We have a new multiplayer game/example online, called LettersGame. It’s based on SmartFoxServer PRO and it was kindly submitted by Chris Lindsey. Players will be able to interact with each other on a shared board and compose words with the available letters.

This paper is not specific to Flash programming, but it’s a great resource for game development in general.
