State of HTML 5

CaptFinn

Ive just had some users come to me with a large request to be able to use a upcoming app on PC and Mac. SO Im curious as to know. What are the upcoming changes to HTML 5 and its abilities within GS Creator? So far with some quick research. It seems that HTML 5 and GS only work together with Arcade and a small Screensize. Im sure there is a way to do some personal embedding on sites. But what about screensize? What is the current state of HTML 5 for GS Users? What is being done currently to improve HTML 5 for GS users? What can we hope to see changed/added, and when?

Im not complaining. Im just curious, because Im showing a future need for it.

No one cares to much for HTML5? Or has HTML 5 fallen to the wayside? And I shouldnt think about it anymore?

It has not received much attention but it may well become important again with other OS stuff happening....Mozilla have a project I think.

I'd like it to get more attention too, hopefully it will over time.

*It WILL get more. Samsung is going to be pumping a lot of money for incentive into the upcoming months believe me.

CaptFinn

They can only work on so much at a time. They are trying to hire more engineers. Jeez you guys can't be patient. It's really getting old all the complaining. Do what I did if you want more power right now then learn Unity or some other engine. Take your destiny into your own hands!

I wasn't complaining. I was just curious about that particular feature. Was wanting to know where it was in regards to the " toDo " list. If it was far Down the list.... Then I'm not gonna focus on it. And was curious what exactly what the upcoming changes might be and how large of a change. Not complaining at all.

No complaint here either, just an innocent comment on an innocent post...

Too late, you've both been reported to the New Features Gestapo, expect your punishment to be swift and unreasonable.

Let me clear the air here. Everyone has a voice here on the forum. There are varying opinions on this forum. Each of us can express an opinion. My post are just the opinion of one man and people are free to agree or disagree. I talk to many developers outside the forums and so I know some agree we me and I can read clearly that some disagree with me. Hey that's the nature of opinion based speech. In my opinion, I just don't understand why we keep beating a dead horse as @codewizard has been very clear in his state of gamesalad posts about his plan and roadmap. He has been transparent in telling us they are understaffed and are trying to rectify that. Maybe to others this make sense to keep hounding them. To me it makes no sense. If one has a specific question why not either post it in the state of GS thread or PM codewizard and get a direct answer instead of misinformation from speculation? I have no problem with threads like wouldn't it be cool to have this and we could do X but most of the threads aren't framed like that their usually we need X and GS needs to do this now or I'm tired of waiting et.. My point why are you waiting? As I said the things you want are out there in other tools. I'm learning Unity as I don't desire to wait for it all. I see people saying I'm not making this game until X and they wait a year for it. Doesn't it make sense that in a year you could have also learned X tool to do it? To me this stuff is just common sense.

I dont believe my OP was in anyway, hounding the GS Staff.

The_Gamesalad_Guru

As I said that is your opinion of it and you're perfectly entitled to you're point of view on the matter and in the same way I am entitled to my point of view on the matter.

CaptFinn

Well if it were you and someone else discussing this. then you would be correct.. But I am the OP. I have 1-up on your opinion. I know my mind and what I was feeling, and I know my intent for the post. So therefore. I "KNOW" there was no complaining or whining. Pure curiosity about a feature I doubt Ill ever use.

SO HTML 5 is Dead?

jonmulcahy

the Tizen platform is HTML5, so all the fixes and improvements they implemented for that should reach the normal HTML5 output as well I would expect.

jonmulcahy

closing this since you opened another thread on HTML5 and this one is old.
