So, what do you think about the new flash runtime? I don't like the fact that you have to pay for it, and that you can only use MP3s for it, which apparently must also be paid for. Pretty awesome though, huh?
They've affirmed many times that it's real and that the joke is that it's not a joke. I still don't know though. For now I'm not getting my hopes up, but apparently Looki decompiled it and thinks it's real...
I think it might be real.

Did anyone else bother to decompile it, or are you assuming looki isn't in on the joke too?

Well I decompiled it and it looks legit. Either MMF can export flash, or they recreated these two games in flash. Looking through the source, it looks like a decent amount of code, so I would hope it's the former.

Lol, April Fools Day is the announce weird surprises day now Hehe, I want to put my wedding on April 1.
I'm going with the bet that it's fake. Can't really tell, but it's a 50-50 believability for me, and I want to be on the side nobody else is on

Those are 100% MMF2 created, not rewrites. The thing that gives this away is that there is slight graphical tearing in the framebuffer system that they utilized (this is not HWA). Flash should be HWA, so such tearing would not happen and instead one should see frameskip. This is good news! We can have our things run on macs! Seriously!
I believe you, Jeff. With this kind of magical material lol Click can easily top more and more flash games than imaginable. I mean the coding is ten times easier than Action script (Unless that's what we'll be using ) so you can make a way bigger game and still have more patience with programming and spriting. And I hate to say this, but Flash has better art utilities, hands down. But IMO and in all respects MMF2 is 1 - easier, 2 - Less costly, and 3 - more user friendly than Flash ever was or will be.
...Heh, It'll be fun reading through the comments that Newgrounders post asking how long it took to make a game like Cave story or such, lol. Silly, silly Flash users- so unacknowledged in the ways of game creation.
If you thought I said Flash users aren't as smart then I'd be the dumb one. Hell, they're WAAAAY smarter than half the people here when it comes to programming. What I meant was they're dumb for using such a complicated program to make games with, when you could just use MMF2 which, in comparison, is all the things I've stated above; 1-3.

We'll see what happens I guess.
