Skillpod media, a mobile games company based in South Africa is planning on launching a game suite based on Flash Lite. From the release:

“Until now, SkillPod has focused on online casual games, with its GameZBoost platform used by several web portals in South Africa to deliver its games offerings.

Although Flash Lite suits casual games as a technology, the challenge for SkillPod will be educating consumers that they have Flash Lite capable handsets, and how to get the games.”

There’s a new tool available from Instinct Company based in NewZealand. It allows you to create Flash based games using their graphical interface. They have also posted a video that shows how easily this can be done. They’ve also given bunch of examples of games created using the tool  on their web site. They have a channel on youtube where they show all these videos.

Does this mean that everyone with an idea can now create a game? Looks like we are ready for Games 2.0!
