We're big believers in open source and a lot of our technology is, as you can see, open source.
Timestep, our canvas game library, is probably the most interesting project there at the moment.
It's a useful abstraction layer on top of canvas that can then be used with the Game Closure SDK to deploy to other platforms.
Does the framework support the ability to record sounds and send them to other players?
Nice! There's some hardcore talent on that team (Michael Carter created Orbited for example).
Ditto to that. I play pickup rollersoccer with Michael and Martin, and during those games I have probably learned more about in-depth Javascript and Python than any fundamentals of the sport.
Saw a demo of the SDK yesterday, and all I have to say is: congrats dudes, it looks sweet. I'm not even a game programmer and I want to give it a shot :)

Any code-related thing that Martin and Michael put their hands to is guaranteed to be rock solid! Congrats on the launch guys!
Wow, this sounds very similar to an idea I started working on last year (http://playrelay.io) right before my daughter was born. Someday I will get back to it. Good luck!
Be sure to check out the video to see our technology in action.

One of our exciting new companies at SSE Labs! Congrats on the article - Game Closure is a strong group of hackers if I've ever seen one.
This is right on time, thanks, hopefully I can get my beta pass soon.
I saw a demo recently, and it's quite impressive, well done guys!
Will this be JS only? Or will we be able to integrate this into Objective-C? (naturally, this is non-cross-platform) Would be useful to have an Obj-C library.
These guys are incredible; so much potential!
awesome!!
