2Dcube Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and recently started looking into doing some HTML5 games and see where it takes me. I already got some help from Solidus, he's a really cool dude. I made 3 little games so far, and with each game I try to take only 3 days or less of development time. My portfolio: http://www.venbrux.com/html5-games/(the site is optimized for mobile, as well as the games) It would be great if anyone wants to comment on any of the games, and if you're a publisher feel free to message/email me. I try to make original concepts, or do original takes on existing concepts and try to maintain a good level of polish. If I'm missing anything let me know! What I'm unsure about is how well my games fit the HTML5 market and exactly what HTML5 game players want. That's something I hope to keep learning with each game.

Oxoxx Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Cool games, especially for 3 days-long development Did you sell some licenses already? Btw, in original minesweeper you can't find mine on first move Game is still good, i just thought maybe you'll want to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Dcube Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Thanks for the comment! If you have any constructive criticism feel free to tell me. I haven't contacted any publishers yet but I will start soon. Good point about minesweeper... Will definitely fix that in the next future update. It's annoying if you hit a mole right away isn't it. I'll make sure the first move always clears some of the grid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draf Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 the simple game mechanics are fun and kid-friendly! Its has a good design for mobile, esspecially for the kids ^^ i sure the children will get access of the Candy game when they are on the boring school bus! Best wish on your work, hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryguy Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Jesse Venbrux. It's been a long time! I definitely see your style being very welcome in the html5 market. What you have here is very likely to sell. Just remember it might be a month before you here back from anyone. It's good to see you around. I look forward to more of your presence in the community.

gaelbeltran Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I really REALLY like the graphics of your candy game. It's simple and beautiful. Good luck selling sponsorships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Dcube Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks for the supportive comments! I really REALLY like the graphics of your candy game. It's simple and beautiful. Good luck selling sponsorships That makes me glad, and surprised! I really didn't think about it much, but I think that shows that just going with your first intuition sometimes is best.

Ryguy Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks! I always wondered how your games looked so good. Vectors. Go figure.I'm impressed with your 3-day dev cycles for these games. I've done it before but never with so many in a row. Your ability to pump out small games will do you well in this early market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matheusbn Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hehe that Planet Hop is very addictive! I'll play the others later. By the way nice work, Matheus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow_x86 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 nice games bro .... my games are all bad more polish and I will post a portfolio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I played Blocks Want Candy. I had fun, although the game was very similar to other such games I've played before. I liked best the little touches (Blocks eyes followed candy when close, screen shake when blocks hit the wall). It was fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txvyrush2 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Good looking stuff Please keep us updated also about the licensing, I'm interested in how well kids-friendly games are received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your ability to pump out small games will do you well in this early market.When I know what I'm doing dev time can be very short.. Though I must say that I tried dabbling in HTML5 game dev before and spent a week on something that didn't turn out good, but recently I looked into the market more and found inspiration. I'll post here again when I have details on how the licensing is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spelagon Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Just solved the last level in Blocks Want Candy - what an awesome little game!Some levels were quite challenging but never so hard that you quit in rage =) Perfect balance I'd say...

2Dcube Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 That's so cool to hear! I wasn't sure if people would play all the way. I made the levels in 2 goes and never rearranged anything, so I'm glad it turned out well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Dcube Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 BUMP I promised to update this topic with information about how my games were doing... so I'm doing that now. To be honest I have not further pursued much with HTML5, in stead wandering off to do other things. But I have sold 4 non-exclusive licenses (to 2 companies, one took all 3 which was Buongiorno). I can't state the amounts but the prices were good (not underselling myself). I feel I can probably sell more if I can reach some more publishers so I might jump into the HTML5 thing again soon.

dTb Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yes awesome games (especially blocks want candy ) perfectly designed for html5 market. I am curious: are you using a tool like game maker or construct or is it your own framework? EDIT: ok, found my answer on another site sharing the same loader and code style It's gamemaker ^^.signed : a developer who spent the last 2 or 3 months of his spare time having the head into his own stuff, just emerging and discovering what is around ;D.

Gustavgb Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The screenshots seems really cool, so I visitted your site and tried to load your games.. but they all give this error message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
