It has always been a pain point to identify locations in a game (or a website or application or PDFs) which can be used for ads so that these attract users but without obstructing them. These ads look more like popups in early web days which would make you swear not to visit the site again! :D Agree.

They are taking a bitmap capture of the screen then preforming image recognition on it over and over again. Games need all the CPU they can get, this is likely to lead to poor performance and pissed off gamers. Seems like a sure fire way to cook your cpu.

Although your user demographic may be young kids I doubt that the embedded ad delivery system would really be able to tell the difference between a 10 year old and a 30 year old. You would also be surprised at who actually plays your games. I used to manage one of Australia's busiest kids sites which was filled with Flash games - I can't tell you how many times I met adults who were very familiar with all of the games on our site.

Nice job TicTacTi - it's great to see innovation in the field. Your adwrapping technology may do the same for casual games as Greystripe's did for mobile games - giving indie developers a way to monetize.

As a loooong time Flash developer I can see huge potential in this. I love the fact that you seem to be able to publish your game to various social networks right from tictacti's system (if I understand the video above correctly). I know of a lot of Flash guys that would see real value in a service like this. Brilliant! As a loooong time Flash developer I can see huge potential in this.
