Adobe Flash Platform Success Story Frima Studio’s Zombie Tycoon 3D zombies invade browsers Frima Studio inspired to bring its Zombie Tycoon game console to browsers, using new capabilities in the Adobe® Flash® Platform to deliver astonishing 3D experiences to vast new audience Frima Studio Staffed with 275 artists and programmers, Frima Studio is a prominent game Quebec City, Canada development firm. Since its inception in 2003, Frima has served clients including www.frimastudio.com Electronic Arts, Warner Brothers, and Nickelodeon. Known for producing high- caliber multiplatform and Flash games that are as remarkable artistically as they are technically, Frima has thrown open the door to 3D Flash gaming in the browser. The new 3D technology found in Adobe Flash Player is one of Frima’s secret weapons, enabling the firm to liberate its 3D Zombie Tycoon game from the confines of a console, bringing the most eye-popping, high-performance 3D gaming experiences imaginable to the widest number of devices. This big win is attributable to the marked advancements in Adobe Flash Platform runtimes— specifically Adobe Flash Player, which is already installed on 98% of the world’s Internet-connected computers. Zombie Tycoon, one of Frima Studio’s most popular 3D games, was first released in 2009 as one of the original six games for the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Mini. Back then, Frima built the game using a full-blown console engine specific to the PSP platform. Now, Frima Studio brought Zombie Tycoon from the PSP platform to the browser, using the Adobe Flash Platform to bring astonishing 3D experiences to web gamers as never before.
