Game developers often experience a horrific "crunch" (also known as a "death march"), which happens in the last few months of a project leading up to the game's release date. Failing to meet the deadline can often mean the project gets cancelled or even worse, you lose your job. So what sort of tricks do they use while they're under the pump, doing 12+ hour per day for weeks on end? Below are some classic anecdotes and tips - many thanks to Brandon Sheffield who originally put together this article on Gamasutra.

In this tutorial I hope to offer a solid example of building a game with the program. This is the first part of a series discussing HTML5 game development. * DOWNLOAD the source files here: Offender_HTML.zip * Play the finished game here: Offender HTML * Visit the website for it here: Note, Edge Animate is being used in some game projects already. * Space Invaders RPG. * Adobe’s Episode 10: Controllable characters in an interactive environment * Create animated game HUD with Adobe Edge Animate and Coherent UI (Part 1) In terms of HTML5 game development, there are many frameworks out there for making HTML5 games.
