Ah, so we can freely export to iphone and android then? Cool

ALL THAT for just a measly yearly payment of $2995.99

being shitty (I haven't played an html5 game before, at least not a 'full' game)

Hello,

Construct 2 is GameMaker's rival. Two HTML5 game demos can be played on Construct's official website. Space Blaster and Ghost Shooter. You can try:

Monkey is another professional HTML5 software. There are many HTML5 game demos on the official website. You can try:

Finally, I believe that this version of Angry Birds is suitable for Chrome browser. This Angry Birds version should not be slow on your Chrome browser. You can also try.!

i tried the two construct games, and both ran fine but neither had any sound. a game maker html5 game also didn't have any sound. it seems html5 has problems with sound on my computer/browser

I have tried these:

Space Blaster and Ghost Shooter of Construct can produce music and sounds on my computer. I am using Chrome. They Need to be Fed and Remaddening of GameMaker cannot produce music and sounds. Angry Birds cannot produce music and sounds. Pirate TriPeaks of Monkey can produce music and sounds. Platformer and Doggy Bounce of Monkey can produce sounds..!

I love how everytime you try to use arrow keys on a HTML5 game, the whole browser page just scrolls away

Those construct demo's don't look too good. Got a 4fps on the TD one.

Monkey I like. I downloaded it, and even though the BASIC like language is ghastly to get use to, you can't fault a freebie, and there are some nice little examples made with it, although nothing I'd call a decent game.

GM's They Need to be fed is a bit laggy for me. Same with Maddening. Both projects are said to be just GM projects dropped into HTML5 alpha, though, without being optimized for web, so hopefully we'll see some better performances in the next one. And yeah, GM's sound isn't fully working. Mike Dailly said he'll be fixing that tomorrow.

Yes...Monkey is powerful and better than GameMaker HTML5.!!! I notice that the HTML5 trial version of Monkey is free for non-commercial use!

I find these demo games in Monkey's forum. Flash versions are as fast as the HTML5 versions(Frame per Second)!!!!!!

why dont you two get a room

Maybe the release prices of Construct 2 are more reasonable than the price of GameMaker HTML5.
http://www.scirra.com/construct2/early-adopter


There are three versions of Construct 2:

1. Free Edition

2. Standard Edition (USD65)

3. Business Edition (USD255)
--Most people will need the standard edition. You only need the Business edition if you are an individual who has made over $5,000 USD revenue from things made with Construct 2, or are using Construct 2 in a for-profit organisation.

Flash was typically faster than html5(for me). Also: I think that flash is 'monkey' compiled, which would make a big difference in speed.

All these examples are laggy for me. Someone needs to start making low-res web games for people with sucky computers!

[BearCDP]

What on earth is "'monkey' compiled"?   

[Desert Dog]

What on earth is "'monkey' compiled"?   

Haha, my made up term? It may be an official term, not sure. You code in monkey, then that exports it to whichever language is supported (C++, C#, Java, Javascript, and ActionScript, apparently)

Since it isn't written straight into that language, I'd expect there to be some un-optimized bits, etc.

TNTBF and Maddening worked great on my computer. Using Chrome and my computer isn't that powerful (year old 1000€ laptop) though Maddening looked a bit choppy. TNTBF ran pretty much as well exe did. Looks good IMO, but then again HTML5 performance seems to vary rather much so I guess I was just lucky

Here is some insight into what GM HTML5 alpha looks like and about some of it's features:
