It's wild to see how far we've come along! When Mine Blocks and Mine Blocks 2 was released I remember thinking there was no way that browsers would be able to compete with Flash when it came to HTML5 games. How wrong I was in retrospect!

Yeah man it's pretty wild! I think the ecosystem improved a lot as I was working on the port too, so I'm glad things seem to be continuing to get more powerful.
Otherwise, one thing I learned throughout this is that Flash behaved extremely consistently on every computer it ran on, whereas HTML5's behavior still depends a lot on the browser, hardware, and drivers per user.
Also I miss how user friendly the Flash tooling was. Hopefully Project Openflash can be successful so game development can be accessible for everyone :)
