Vicious Cycle Software has announced that its new platform will be debuting at San Francisco’s Games Developers Conference this month. This is the second addition of the development platform and brings a bunch of new features and tools that most of us will never understand. They say it is adaptable and easy to learn, but I am not sure. Some of the games it has been developed on include the Flushed Away game and Dead Head Fred to name a few. Can’t wait to see the new tools developers will have and hopefully create better looking, most innovative products in the future. I posted the full press release below. Check out their site for more information you may not understand.
