Partigen 2 & Desuade Motion Package Beta Soon

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

I’ll cut to the chase this post, so I can get back to working.

Big news: the engine for Partigen 2 and the new Motion Package that powers it, are done. The documentation is being made now, and will follow with examples.

As previously announced, it will be open source. Free. As in beer.

Once the documentation is done, all current customers will have the opportunity to beta test the package before it’s released, as a special thank you and appreciation of your support.

Note: this is for just the source code and classes aimed at AS3 developers, no presets or interface.

Partigen 2 in Development – AS3 Particle Effects!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Hello everyone! It’s been awhile since I have updated the community on what’s happening with Desuade and Partigen, so I thought I’d take a moment to do so because I’m sure you’re curious.

Partigen 2 – Ok, so cat’s out of the bag. Partigen 2 has been under development for a few months now, and will be entirely in AS3 for Flash CS3 and CS4. Partigen is being completely rewritten from scratch, and will make 1.1 look like a square wheel – it’s almost too powerful.

This time around, something’s going to be different. The Partigen 2 engine and ActionScript classes will be released 100% free, Open Source. That’s right, you read that correctly – free. It will be distributed and open for contributions from the public via github.

There will still be a commercially supported plugin for Flash, for those users who wish for this and all the same preset effects and easy point and click configuration. Again, this is going to blow the previous version out of the water.

By now I’m sure you’re wondering, when exactly is it going to be released, weren’t you? Well if you’re compelled to know all about Partigen, then I would have to say you can feel excited about beginning to get anticipated for the release in about 2 months!

So tell everyone you know now, get them excited about it – because Partigen 2 is going to be epic, and it’s just like when you were a kid, the night before Christmas, feeling giddy with excitement, waiting for just what you wanted this all along.

You can expect more updates soon!

Hiring AS3 Developers and Designers

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Petty client work, ridiculous deadlines, projects without passion, monotony of the same old thing, day after day – work that doesn’t really mean anything.

Sound familiar?

But what if you could break out, and let your true abilities really shine, and be appreciated by thousands of new friends…

Let me ask you: have you ever wanted to be a part of something revolutionary in your industry? To create something that thousands of people use and rely on everyday, that really changes the face of an entire culture? How many chances does one get to do anything that’s actually really something?

Are you a talented and experienced AS3 ninja that can create OOP and MVC classes and engines as easily as one sleeps? Someone that really loves working on opensource projects to better the world. Or how about an interface rockstar that gets giddy when a transition has the prefect blur and alpha value that really makes the difference?

Have you been looking for that really glamourous and bleeding edge project that allows your creativity and attention to detail to take over, a time where everything goes by quickly because you’re having so much fun doing something that nobody else has done before?

Well – now’s the time. Here’s that one opportunity to be a leader in your field now that you can feel that passion really burning to be on the cutting edge of something better, even magical.

Someone’s looking for just that; someone’s looking for you. Get in touch now, won’t you?

After many months of preparation, the partnership between Desuade and Flashloaded to resale Partigen is now official and live.

Flashloaded will be reselling Partigen to it’s expansive customer base, allowing the word to get out about this powerhouse particle effects plugin for Flash. They have a huge market share for Flash components, and can provide great support to all of the new users they bring in.

Partigen 1.1 Update Now Available

Monday, April 28th, 2008

The long awaited 1.1 update to Partigen is finally here!

This is the first update since its initial release, and I find it quite remarkable there have been no critical bugs requiring one. Needless to say, this is quite a nice upgrade, offering decreased file size, improved performance, and a much refined UI.

A 15-day trial is now being offered for those of you who wish to take it for a test-drive before purchasing. The trial functionality is possible by the Desuade Licensing Platform that handles serials, activations, and licenses.

What are you waiting for? Get the full details on the Partigen homepage.

Partigen 1.0 Now Available

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Here it is folks, Desuade Partigen is now available for immediate purchase.

It’s been a crazy past 18 months getting here, but it’s finally done. For now.

I’d like to personally thanks Michael, Cole, Karl, Pete, Jay, Steph, Mom & Dad, the rest of my family, and anyone else I forgot that has put up with the entire ordeal. I love you all and sincerely appreciate all the support for over the past year and a half. I won’t say that I couldn’t have done it without everyone, because that’s far too cliche, but I will say that it wouldn’t have been nearly as successful without you all.

I’ve put the last year of my life into this, and it’s been worth every minute.

I sincerely hope you enjoy using Partigen!

Partigen Documentation Now Online

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

The documentation for Partigen 1.0 is now online. This is the (en) English version of the documentation that comes with Partigen, as available in the help inside of Flash.

If anyone has any experience with a trusted translation service for documentations, please share! Automated services won’t cut it – a developer native in the language is required to make sure things get translated as best as possible. Many developers know English, so there’s no pressing need to get it translated right away. Based on gathered user data, it seems that the biggest priority would be Japanese.

If you would like the documentation translated into your language, be sure to leave a comment as well.
