Post Adobe Flash is being discontinued 2020, will it affect SSF2?
I've come back to the forum for a short while to bring some potentially bad news. I was looking over my social feed today when I see this article here:

https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/25/1602 ... pport-2020

Quote:
Adobe is finally planning to kill off Flash once and for all. Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari have all been blocking Flash over the past year, but Adobe is now planning to remove support for it fully by the end of 2020. “We will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourage content creators to migrate any existing Flash content to these new open formats,” explains an Adobe spokesperson.

A number of gaming, education, and video sites still use Flash, and Adobe says it remains committed to supporting the technology until 2020 alongside partners like Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla. Microsoft says it plans to disable Flash by default in Edge and Internet Explorer in mid to late 2019, with a full removal from all supported versions of Windows by 2020. Google will continue phasing out Flash over the next few years, while Mozilla says Firefox users will be able to choose which websites are able to run Flash next month and allow Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) users to keep using Flash until the end of 2020. Apple is also supportive of the 2020 end of life for Flash, and Safari currently requires explicit approval on each website even when Mac users opt to install Flash.

2020 will mark an end of an era for Flash, but one that feels like it has been a long time coming. HTML5 standards have been implemented across all modern web browsers, and the need for Flash just isn’t there anymore. An end to Flash will bring with it obvious improvements in security and just pure battery life on laptops and other mobile devices that still support the web technology.


So for SSF2 developers? Will this become a problem? Or is this nothing to worry about. I don't know much about Flash Player myself, but this is concerning.

Don't worry, by 2020 I'll be finished with college and have a full-time day job as a teacher.

Considering that Flash is actually very useful, I'm sickened by this news, though I suppose I should have seen it coming.

But how many things are going to be lost forever because of this? How many web pages that will no longer or can no longer be updated be made inaccessible? Think through your damn implications, companies!

If Full-Version SSF2 releases before 2020 I will be very pleasantly surprised :sandbag:

Welp, here's a toast to the Library of Alexandria that is known as the world of flash games

Assuming this means the game will be finished, won't it mean the end of online play as well considering there's no support? Also, considering the inability to update, does this officially deconfirm user created content?

No it was just a joke because either or by 2020 I won't have time to work on the game anymore anyway

In all seriousness, since the home version is contained in a .exe, independent of any browser plugins, that will be fine. But the browser version will probably have to be discontinued.

Hopefully if you have or can get a USB, you can download/install ssf2 on the USB and use it at school without having to go on browser.

But only thing is, i'm not sure if you would still need to install it at any computer at the school even though you have it installed on the USB.
