Four Major Reasons to Choose Flash Game Development Over HTML5

Flash is a powerful platform for creating animation and expressive content still questions arises on its competencies. Compare to flash, many companies are preferring HTML 5. As per the software giant - Apple, it is also referred to as the "Future Platform" But, probably, HTML5 cannot take over Flash when it comes to game development, creating rich multimedia content, such as highly interactive flash websites and games, via the web.

A Fully Developed Framework

HTML5 standard is still in development process. This platform has yet to be finalized (still 2 more years for completion as per the reports.) So, checking on this point, it is obvious that relying on a framework that is still in development stage is not worthy. Whereas Flash is a fully developed, working, and stable platform. It is a standard platform for developing exceptional games.   It is not just an unfinished idea, but a fully reliable framework.

Compatible to Both Old and New Browsers

A large percent of internet users are still using the same old and outdated versions of browsers that don't support HTML5. Thus, developing content using this framework will definitely alienate a large number of internet users, who will not be able to view your content.

On the contrary, the Flash programming language is easily installed on browser versions released long before HTML5 came into the picture. Thus, flash content is easily reachable to thousands of internet users with desktop web browsers.  

Good Option for Game Development

With Flash, it is very much easy to pack all the codes and assets into a single file for distribution and hosting on third party websites. It's the basic for every casual online game development. Flash game design helps developers to earn revenues as well generate good ROI for businesses. Whereas these all things are not possible through HTML5.

Low Cost and Less Development Time

With HTML5, increased testing time and debugging is required for any game development. This is required for effective cross browser and device compatibility, which increases both development time and development cost strikingly. If you are hiring developer for HTML5 game development over flash game development, then definitely you will be paying more.
