I'd say an alternative would be safer.

Hmm...interesting question.
Flash is expected to become obsolete within the next five to ten years, but It'd still be fun to learn.
Unix and Perl are expected to take over...I think.

EDIT: Yes, an alternative would probably be a better option, but you can still learn it for a hobby...

From FB:

I have a big-time question for you: What are you going to do when MochiMedia shuts down? Psionic Games is already in slight trouble because of this.

actually I'll be writing a blog entry on this. But short answer: I'm indestructible. I'll be fine without mochi. The failure of sponsor-based flash games economy was a bigger hit and I'm still here.

Glad to hear that.

(BTW, when I said about comment of one flashgames developer, I meant Si.
Yeah, that's small world.)

But there is question: should I start to study flash?

Unity or html5. Flash is just outdated.

When was the last time a new member joined?

two days ago?

:D

Yeah, there's been, like, one newcomer every other day since submachine 9. Before then, during the 16 months this incarnation of the forum has been active, total permanent newcomers amounted to.... Three. So we're still trying to get used to this kind of growth.

Welcome to Pastel Forum, Pulsaris!

But no. Sub9 game isn't like Lighthouse, Loop and Lab.
Different level. No, not level. Different direction.

It is hard to explain...

But again: It is my favorite game along with Sub1, Sub2 and Sub4. Because of plot and atmosphere.

I think that in those Submachines we feared the unknown, while in Sub9 we feared the truth.

But there is question: should I start to study flash?

Depends on what you want to create.
