mentuat Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 my first html5 game! http://happylandergames.com/games/dragondash/ apologies for making the same kind of game that everyone seems to do first - an endless avoid-things-and-stay-in-the-air type game, but I needed to keep it simple so I could get to grips with javascript! It's designed for mobile devices so any feedback on performance would be mighty handy - thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentuat Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 thanks for the great feedback guys! Theese are the most interesting games! Workst great on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 under Chrome, Sound Is broken. Firefox is a bit slower, no sound. ***** when you say sound is broken - do mean it is simply not playing or some kind of weird audio effect? (I disable sound on android or browsers with no web audio as performance seems to be too unpredictable at the moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbogoes Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 No weired audio effect... I hear the musik only for 10 seconds at the beginning (in Chrome). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remvst Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Probably due to the fact that you try to play multiple sounds at the same time. I don't know what's the status on Audio for Chrome, but that's the problem I was experiencing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBenji Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Nice! Which engine do you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentuat Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 it doesn't use an engine - I thought I should get to grips with how to handle user input, game logic and render all the bits and pieces of a game by myself first. was a useful learning exercise in terms of figuring out which techniques are more effective for the job in hand. I suspect I now have a little library of classes that can handle loading, rendering, animated sprites etc. that I hope to improve on as I make more games. I did use howler.js to handle sound though as I didn't want to invest too much time figuring out that quite yet! http://goldfirestudios.com/blog/104/howler.js-Modern-Web-Audio-Javascript-Library I'm also using typescript in visual studio which makes life a lot easier!

Solidus Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Very nice. Have you contacted publishers with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentuat Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 yes, but unfortunately only a few replied and the income I could make is very lowI'd love to earn a living wage by just making and licensing html5 games but i suspect it's not going to be possibleI plan to make at least a couple more games and reach out to publishers in an effort to make it viable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmith440 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hey, Great game! And definitely impressive that you wrote it from scratch with no game engine. That's too bad about the licensing...you could make a "build" for iPhone, Android, etc. Maybe that could supplement income made from licensing? Anyways, awesome stuff!

Solidus Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 One more question... did you make the art yourself or find/hire an artist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, awesome stuff!I dont think that will be any viable. You wont make any revenue from these platforms from simple games like this. And since he ddidnt used any engine he would have to rewrite from scratch for those platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since he ddidnt used any engine he would have to rewrite from scratch for those platforms. it's all javascript and CSS at the end of the day like all the current frameworks and engines so no - I would not have to rewrite it. But I agree that the game is too simple to bother the app store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
