HTML 5 and Appformative and other features

RossmanBrothersGames

Wondering if anyone knows if Appformative features work with HTML 5 games. I believe @Hopscotch runs Appformative?

I was pleasantly surprised that both Jump Jack and Get Me Outta Here run surprisingly well on HTML 5 using version 1.25. There are a few functions that don't work that I may be able to find a another fix for. I was inspired by @jonmulcahy to try and me an .exe or put them on kongregate or something.

It would be nice to have leaderboards in the game and noticed Appformative offers cross platform leaderboards at only 5 bucks a game. Don't know if they work with an html5 game though.

Also, anyone know if game pads work with html 5? If they aren't going to implement .exe I would love to see some love shown to html 5. I remember years ago Jump Jack wouldn't run on it at all and now it does.

@RossmanBrothersGames did you ever get it working in the HTML5 game? My leaderboard is working fine in the GS Preview and on Android but not in the HTML5 version. A Data Point is being registered but Send and Get don't work. @Hopscotch any ideas?

@loyaltyapps we did look at this about 2 years ago, as GS said that it should just work. However, the actual exchange of JSON data proved to be unreliable at best. Due to general lack of interest we did not pursue this any further.

With the new focus on a new HTML5 version of Creator, the HTML5 publishing will no doubt be getting some love eventually, and we will surely be following up on this.

Ok thanks for confirming @Hopscotch . Doesn't work in Arcade either then? Wasted hours trying to get it working assuming something was wrong on my end

No, arcade even less than hosting the HTML5 on your own server.

People pay and spend hours on projects for the arcade that doesn't really work that well.

@Toque sure, but in GS's defence, somewhere in the release notes they did state that network features are not officially supported in Arcade and HTML5 builds.

Thanks for pointing that out.
I wasn't aware.
