I don't get it. Does it implements a software 3D engine, or emulate OpenGL API, or call HW OpenGL directly in Flash?

It implements OpenGL API. That means that you can develop for that particular API that you probably know from elsewhere. Current implementation seams to be done in software, but it may well be hardware accelerated when/if Flash will get such a capability and then you could benefit from it and any other optimizations without having to modify your program in any way.

Is there any other information about this engine? Yogurtistan looks something like a Habbo Hotel or Second Life game.

Are they planning on releasing this engine to others? I'm asking because I'd really like to use it to make a WebGL bridge for browsers that are failing to implement it.

This is totally unimpressive. You could totally do this with canvas and HTML5. In just 4-5 short years WebGL will be implemented in all browsers, so flash is totally useless here. And it uses like 50% of my CPU, which is stupid. Flash is stupid. What's the point of using flash, just because it let's you do things. Adobe development tools are terrible. CSS is awesome! Stop using flash! You're just locking yourself int…

You're an idiot.

Oh, you were being sarcastic. I honestly just thought you were being an idiot. Sorry.
