Posts about Anodyne
Our bio:
We're a group of indie game developers and open source tool developers -- we made the games Anodyne, Defender's Quest, [Incredipede] (http://www.incredipede.com), [NEO Scavenger] (http://bluebottlegames.com/main/node/2), and several others (see below).
In an age when all the cool kids are using Unity3D and other proprietary tools (not that there's anything wrong with that!), we feel supporting open source projects is just as important, and that's why we've gathered to talk about that (and other topics!) here. People should use what's best for them, we just want to make sure open source alternatives get the proper support and attention they deserve.
For instance, many of us are current and former Flash developers transitioning to the open source language Haxe. We also have the developers behind the Haxe, OpenFL, and Ren'Py projects here today. (Here's a widely-read article one of us wrote on why many Flash developers are moving to Haxe: Flash is dead, long live OpenFL!)

UPDATE 2: Seems like questions are winding down. Post your questions while we're still here :)
UPDATE 3: I think we're done. Some of the devs might comment if you leave a question, but no guarantees. Thanks for participating!
