In 2009, the company extended its development platform to support Flash[1] and built a series of real-time multiplayer games to demo the technology. As part of the worldwide marketing effort behind James Cameron's film Avatar, Multiverse built two Flash-based games,[2] one with McDonald's and another with Coca-Cola Zero. Both games allow players to explore Pandora, where much of the film takes place.
In late 2011, Multiverse closed from lack of profits, releasing the source code to the Multiverse Foundation, a nonprofit group of volunteers who are presently updating the platform.[3]
