in Working with GS (Mac)

I had a request last week before my compooper blew a gasket to build an HTML5 game for their website.
I looked into this further and found out that GS currently doesn't have that feature even though Tizen publishing does produce the files it wont work server side.

My question is.. when will we see HTML5 export?

    That is a very good question. Seeing how the html5 logo is on main page and it states 'create games for........html5'.
    One of the reasons I chose this software was thinking it supported html5, not 'certain html5 systems'.

    If i have understood correctly, you can embed the game to your website. But it has to be published to GS Arcade.

    @JimmyMesser eek... You've only gone and asked one of the long standing big requests of GS... I wouldn't be surprised to see @Photics pop in and say some words!

    @adent42 was "confident" of having true HTML5 support/export available to pro users by the end of 2014, as mentioned in the thread linked below, but it never happened, and has seemingly slipped off the radar... But yup, would be a great feature to have, especially as its long been a promoted publishing target on the GS promotional/sales materials.

    I'm guessing we're now more likely to see it happen in Graphene before it appears in GameSalad.. If it ever happens. Which is a real shame as the bulk of it is already implemented in GameSalad and just needs a bit of work to make it true HTML5 export.

    Yes you can but if you are commissioned to design a html5 game a client will usually request the actual files. Making gs a less desirable way of creating online content. What ever the reason

    Aha! I don't mind waiting for graphene but it seems to me stating html5 game publishing with gs currently is a bit misleading.

    And it seems to me they want to keep html games purely linked to their website I'm sure it brings a ton of traffic that they think they might lose.

    But it be happy to do both arcade and publish to a site I'd even be happy to put a developed in game salad logo on my slash screen if it meant being able to publish stand alone code.
