Adobe buys Macromedia for $3.4 Billion

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

Macromedia does some pretty nice web applications (Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver etc), and Adobe are giants for image/print (Photoshop, Illustrator etc). Looks like Adobe will be the one stop shop for all creatives/graphic designers..

I have to say, [url="http://share.studio.adobe.com/Default.asp"]Adobe's studio exchange[/url] (where you can download extensions etc) absolutely sucks compared to Macromedia's, and Macromedia's Fireworks is much better than Adobe's counterpart, Imageready. I hope Adobe don't ditch or drastically change the way a lot of Macromedia's programs work. Funny story, a few years ago, Adobe successfully sued Macromedia for having dockable tabbed browsing for a lot of $$$.
