goneupinflames

hello.

We're goneupinflames. Nice to meet you.

goneupinflames is a development group, based in the heart of sunny Manchester, who strive to produce both beautiful and innovative software solutions, for almost any platform you can imagine: together, we've got years of expertise ranging from web development technologies such as Ruby on Rails and PHP — along with more than a little CSS, Javascript and HTML wizardry — to more typical application development languages such as Java and C++, with a huge range of knowledge of supporting technologies such as databases, security, networking, and artificial intelligence & neural networks.

Of course, this isn't all we're interested in — we're avid followers of the curve, and love developing with brand new technologies such as Adobe AIR & Flex, and, of course, the internet's current belle: AJAX.

At the minute, we don't have anything to show you — really, we're awfully sorry about that — but we've got a whole host of exciting projects in the pipeline that we hope you're going to love!

Our website is currently in development, so we can't quite show you everything we have to offer yet. Until then, here's a list of what we're getting up to:

Breeze

A cross-platform IRC client, built entirely in Adobe AIR, which tries to bring a little bit of beauty to the all-business, uptight 'n' grey world of Windows IRC. Built from the ground up, it's a simplistic client that tries to be both spectacularly usable and easy as pie to work with — while still being just as powerful as its competition!

Aqua

A Windows-only P2P content distribution network with an emphasis on security of both users and content, Aqua sets out to prove that client-server systems aren't the only viable option for getting your work out there!

A Secret, Un-named Project

As a group, we've always wanted to develop a game — like half of the people who've ever touched a computer, no surprise there — so we're going to go ahead and try to do it! Using talent taken from a wide variety of areas — we've got qualified games designers leading the project, experienced musicians and artists to do the designwork and ourselves to do the main programming of the engine — we hope to create an indie gaming tour-de-force that'll stand up there along titles such as Cave Story and Knytt.
