I'm officially a co-founder of a start-up company I founded it with two friends of mine from UMCP, and the first site we're building is EscapeRL.com (RL = Real Life).

EscapeRL is a Wii-targeted Flash gaming community. We are currently in our alpha release: a large and growing collection of Flash games compatible with the Wii. (You can play on your computer too!)

In my mind, Flash has a unique ability to bring new people into gaming. It's support is almost ubiquitous on the web, and it's incredibly easy to make small-scale, polished, and addicting games. However, learning Flash game development is still a relatively tricky thing for newcomers, and sophisticated feedback comments are few and far between. The EscapeRL community was created to fill this gap.

Head on over and tell us what you think! [link] If you sign up now, you'll be an official "Alpha Tester" which will mean you get special priviledges later on down the line.
