Chris Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The game showcase forum can be used to let other developers know about your game that you created, or are currently about to create.If you are posting a not yet finished game, please prefix the title with something like "WIP" to let people know about it. For example: [WIP] My first puzzle game You should include the following information in your post: One (or more) screenshot/s (at best about 800x600 px - remember that very big big pictures may take a long time to load)A short description of your gameThe link to the game (obvious, huh?)Maybe a link to the games website with more details, or a blog Feel free to make the description longer and ask for specific feedback there to start a discussion with the folks here that goes beyond "Looks cool" or "very nice game". I recommend you to add your screenshot(s) as direct attachments to your post, so you don't need to host them anywhere else where they might get lost.After you added a attachment (live upload is possible while you are writing your post), you have a little "Add to post"-button at the right side which enables you to display attached images directly inside the post. When you have included the information I listed above into your post, chances are very high that rich will tweet about your post with his twitter account that has a few thousand followers already, so stick to that list if you want promotion If you have more questions, just post it here in this thread. I even have digged out a good example of how a post in this board should look like. And now, have fun building HTML5 games! greetings,Chris Esqarrouth, FormalCloud, cli345 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Of Sleeping Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 How do you feel about gifs? I think my game looks a lot more enticing when someone can see it in action, I was thinking about posting a gif of the gameplay. nababweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Phew, always depends on the gif. Those things tend to get very big in size very quickly.If you want to make a longer gameplay demonstration, it might be better to screen-record it and upload it on youtube. nababweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeArwyn Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 what about .zip files? my game isn't currently hosted online, so I thought of sharing an archive nababweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gods Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Is HTML5 games only allowed? I notice someone posted a Android JAVA game and no it wasn't HTML5 wrapped in cocoon/phonegap. nababweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxnpt Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I have a first prototype of a game that is actually old procedural PHP/MySQL/Javascript and old HTML4 with just a dash of 5 and nothing deprecated. It should probably be rewritten from scratch after any playtest mods are done. Is this a suitable item - it was designed for a 1280x720 or better display but can use browser zoom controls to adjust somewhat. nababweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01271 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I think mentioning the library (if any) in the thread tags would be a good idea. It would make it easier to find ideas and techniques for your wip game. nababweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstyles Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 @01271 thats a good idea, but, this part of the forum is primarily about the game, so long as its eligible (html5) then should we enforce here that people speak about their technical choices? I kinda feel this part of the board is about the game, not about whether its Phaser, create, Babylon, React etc etc Sure, some discussions might go that way as many people are interested in the technical side of stuff and many posters do indeed use this area as a mini-dev blog, I wonder if there would be any uptake on creating a new section for devlogs for games being worked on? nababweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep421 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 @Chris is it ok to post html games that are mini ads for games? Like say one level from the game or something similar (basic mechanic, etc...)? Let me know! nababweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstyles Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 @shep421 so long as its a game and its html5 I don't think it matters if it advertises something or someone, it's just got to be fun! nababweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caymanbruce Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Can I show something that other team/people built using PIXI.js? Where should I put that information? I am really impressed with their work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstyles Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 @caymanbruce Better to get them to showcase it but if you have their permission I see no harm in you posting on their behalf, always good to see great projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I am able to get them to showcase or have their permission. It's Supercell's base builder website. Although it's not a game but a complemental part of a game, I think it's awesome. Just want to let everybody here know that, especially PIXI.js fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstyles Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 @caymanbruce that is really nice! I guess its public so no problem in creating a link here about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I was wondering if it's ok to post devlog entries in the thread I had opened in the Game Showcase section. At the moment, my impression is devlog entries do not fit in there and might be seen as too noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstyles Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 @Viir there are already a couple of threads here that are devlogs, I think we're sticking with them in Game Showcase (for the moment at least). Viir 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
