Overview: Its been five years since The Flash Games Postmortem and the impact of Flash continues to be critical to our understanding of the modern indie game scene. The indie spirit of Flash games provides many lessons in the modern game space through its developer experiences, accomplishments, preservation, and relationships with platforms. In this talk we explore how Flash's historical impact beyond the "Death of Flash" provides modern lessons to developers and how we can best prepare ourselves for the ephemeral and existential concerns of our industry (and our place in it).
