I found this little software from the internet cafe back then in 2006. There was no internet at my home. And I learned it all by myself by practicing examples inside it. It was so fun and I created lots of 2D flash games and animation movies for years thanks to this.

Nostalgia, the software was built with VB 6
 
Looks very funny traditional software UI in the past

Really? How do you know? Do you know about the developer also? I wonder what they develop these days...

The one in the screenshot: 3DFA didn't belong to Adobe company.
 
It has a truly unique aesthetic that cannot be replicated in any other form.

Cool, conisdering that flash is propertitry i think then, it was quite an achivement to make software that worked with flash! lol

If you are looking to relive the golden days, you can still program html 5 compatable games and simple things in adobe animate (your shot does look very similar to that in the old style)

but something that is making headlines in this area is Rive. Only issue is that compilation and rendering is done in the cloud as part of their model, which you ahve to pay for but the design tool itself is free.

Everything is cloud/web based these days and it doesn't feel like a real robust software to me but sure thing they are very developed and they have many nice features.

3DFA was my first creator love in the world. It meant a lot to me at the time. After standart windows paint and movie maker, it was my first actual creation software. I created lots of gun shooter, fight, strategy and puzzle games with it.

And yes, these days, AI can make HTML5, CSS, js games in seconds.
 
Not this, but I do remember working with macromedia flash. It was probably back in 2004 or so when I got my first PC. I did have dial-up, but it was very slow by modern standard, lol.

It indeed was fun!

Yes, you can still build games and animations with it. And even export it as .exe file to run on your Windows OS.

I actually found this software from the internet archive and installed it on my PC and took this screenshot myself, lol.
