MochiBot Blog

We experienced a minor issue with our stats loading yesterday. We do, however, have the data and are working diligently today to restore it so that you can access it from the reporting system. Rest assured that your current MochiBot stats are still being captured, as well. We expect the stats to be updated and back in full swing today.

We just had a server go down this weekend and wasn’t noticed until earlier today. Your MochiBot stats are still being captured, but they need to be reprocessed once the team gets the new servers up. We expect the stats to be up again by late Monday mid-day Wednesday.

Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your patience.

It’s been a while since we’ve updated, but we are still here hard at work at Mochi HQ. We are excited to announce today that MochIBot officially supports ActionScript 3 (AS3) files. Hooray!

You can now add your AS3 SWFs to MochiBot simply by creating a new MochiBot and following the short directions to download and include the ActionScript file and code snippet. This has been tested against Flash 9 and 10.

As always, we welcome your feedback so let us know your thoughts.

We would like to share today’s public launch of MochiAds with all our MochiBot users. When we’re not working hard on making MochiBot better, we also support another product MochiAds, an advertising network for flash game developers to make money off of their games. Today we officially throw open the doors to the public.

MochiAds is a free way for independent game developers to make money from their creations by inserting ads into games, without the hassle of contracts or exclusivity. Wherever games travel on the web, you get rewarded for plays. Our tool allows control over where and how often ads show on a per-domain basis, and we also provide cool perks like hosting your game on our servers and reaching millions of peeps through our distribution deals.

We hope you check out our new site! Send us an email at team at mochiads.com if you have any feedback or questions.

There was an outage of the system today for a few hours so your stats may have a gap in the data. The issue has since been resolved and measures have been put in place to monitor for the abnormality that was hit.

We’re still ironing out some bugs with the recent upgrade so we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

As many of you may have noticed over the past few weeks the MochiBot reports fell further and further behind. Everyone here has since put their efforts behind upgrading the system to get the reports up to date.

Once you’re logged into MochiBot you’ll notice much faster response times and also up to date reporting (just like the good ol’ days). The one thing that has changed in this new release is the Host Report. The report differs from old in that we no longer list out all of the host URLs. Instead we just list the domain where the SWF is being hosted with the ability to link directly to that file. We did this for a few reasons with the greatest being system performance improvements.

We hope that you enjoy the upgrades that we’ve made and if you don’t then please let us know by emailing us at feedback at mochibot.com. Please also let us know if you run into any bugs.

There are a lot of Flash animators and game developers out there that have had encounters (good and bad) with Ebaum’s World. News broke recently that Eric Bauman, founder of Ebaum’s World, just sold his company for $17.5 million.

That’s great for Eric! However, much of that value was built from the amazing games and animations that you, the community, built. Unfortunately not everyone in the community benefited in the same way. And thus, our company mission is to change that with MochiAds and MochiBot.

You all are doing great things as a community and we hope to continue supporting the growth!

Rock on!

Our most recent development at Mochi Media has been to create a single sign-on system for all of our Mochi properties called MochiPass. The internal project name for this system was MochiPass and since it became so dear to us we decided to keep the name. Now you can simply login to both MochiBot and MochiAds with your alias or email address. Not all of you use MochiAds so this may not be of much use, but as we release other products in the future this will hopefully be more relevant. In the meantime you can enjoy some new features of MochiPass such as being able to log in with either your email or alias, an improved remember me system, and a pretty new login page.

If you run into any issues logging into MochiBot then please drop us a line at “support at mochibot.com”.

We’ve been making some upgrades to MochiBot recently and one of the main servers silently crashed last night without us noticing. Fortunately, the problem has since been fixed but we didn’t capture any data for the time that the server went down. We fixed the issue today around 11am PST so the stats you see tomorrow might look a bit strange.

Back to work for us. Have a great weekend!
