The correct term for what you refer to as "american dubstep" is actually Brostep. Dubstep was invented in Europe in the 90s and came out of the early techno scene. The shit these douches are making in California is completely unrelated.
I really hate to be a "genre pedant", but Dubstep is a descendant of garage, dub, drum and bass and a few other styles from the very late 90s early 00s in England. "Early techno" is Detroit in the 80s. If you're correcting someone on nomenclature please be more accurate, and if you're trolling, please be funnier.
Dubstep proper is a near direct descendant of dub techno, pioneered in Berlin in the early 90s, following in the footsteps of Detroit techno from the 80s and the 2-step and acid house coming out of the UK and Chicago.
I live down the street from Hardwax, for fuck's sake.

#83Was this created using Unity3D and exported to Flash or was it written with the usual Flash methods in the first place?

It's flash.

#85I think if this page demonstrates one thing, then how bad his music is, when i am correct in presuming it's his music that can be heard throughout the game.
Here we have a modern artist, heard by millions, being swamped with prices, yet his music when in the context with a game which even was especially designed with the music in mind, can't hold up to the old classics in any way.
Basically: Soundtrack of most N64/SNES Games >>> Skrillex :D
To all downvoters: i personally am annoyed by the music after 2 minutes of playing, can't deal with this

#86I hope this site brings a little boost back to the Flash world, especially with Stage3D and all of it's possibilities. Actionscript 3 was such an enjoyable language to code in, though I haven't been able to use it professionally in over a year due to demand; the extent of my 'interactive' work has been hacky, ill-performing CSS3 transforms, and WOW are they limited. It's been all JavaScript, all the time, and I do lo…
+1 to this. These days I do Objective C, but I still love AS3 & the Flash API. I just wish browsers would implement it natively (a JS version of the API), as opposed to the HTML canvas and (currently) flaky support for audio.
Check out Haxe and the library NME, which is pretty much what you describe.

#87This game reminded me of Sword and Sorcery EP[1]. It had a similar aesthetic and used music in the same way that this piece did, although it was music from Jim Guthrie who sounds completely different from Skrillex. The main character even looks like the character from that game. The gameplay is very different (SS is a two dimensional, puzzle based point-and-click sort of thing), but there is definitely a similarity.…
I agree. It definitely looks like Sword and Sworcery.

Out of curiosity have you played the Binding of Isaac? It's a zelda-esque game using short gameplay/permadeath + lots of random elements. Although may be windows only I don't recall.
Binding is available in steam and is available for Mac as well.
Yeah I knew it was on steam, but not everything on steam is available for mac. Haven't played my copy in a while to look and see what OSes it is on (plus I own nothing made by apple)

Creativity is still here. We have WebGL, canvas, CSS3, audio, mic, camera, in an environment that is evolving faster than Flash ever did. ES6 will bring js a bit closer to the formalism of AS3, though I don't mind it's current syntax lightness at all. There are many cool games and experiments being released every week.
Warning: cool game of the week requires [Chrome developer channel|Firefox nightly] to run. Also does not run well on [Mac|Windows|Linux] . It is both funny and sad that in these days of the "open" web it is actually much, much more difficult to get good cross platform results when doing anything with graphics/sound.
Games like X-Type[0] make me think things are getting there. The making-of is interesting[1].

#90Disclaimer: Personal Tidbit I love electronic music. But, I can not get into Skrillex or American Dubstep for that manner. I feel like im missing something...
Hehe - I'm just de opposite :) Not a fan of electronic music at all - but can't stop listening to Skrillex :-) So I guess they're not that related after all :-p
