doubleduck Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hey guys, In the past year, we have worked on mobile html5 games, primarily for Firefox OS, and also for the Everything Home android launcher. All of them (24) use the CreateJS framework for canvas rendering, they were written with the Haxe cross-platform language. You can check them out in our website: http://www.doubleduck.co/games (the latest two are not html5 games).We would be very grateful for reviews at the Firefox Marketplace. Cheers, Danny austin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny! Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 According to the screenshots - your games look pretty sweet. Unfortunately, I do not own a Firefox OS device yet and it seems that I cannot play any game of yours just with the Firefox browser. It always says: "Your browser/device is not compatible with the web app". One question I have though - how do you monetize your apps. Looks like they are all free to play.

rich Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I hope Mozilla paid you well to port those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleduck Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hey guys, These games are actually not ported, but developed originally for HTML5.They are free to play, and we monetize by publishing deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny! Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 ...They are free to play, and we monetize by publishing deals. So, Mozilla paid you to develop for the FirefoxOS? What is your overall experience with this platform? I am thinking about ordering a device myself. Love the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleduck Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 No, they didn't. The experience is quite good. Deploying/updating apps is extremely easy, and review times are super quick.Development is also nice, there's a desktop simulator that works pretty well. Debugging the device is done with adb, just like android devices. I didn't get very much into profiling tools, but I do know such tools exist.

rich Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm not being sarcastic here, I'm genuinely interested in the reasoning as to why you'd spend time creating from scratch 24 pretty nice looking games for a device that no-one actually owns yet, in an app store devoid of customers? Was it just trying to be the first in there, so when it goes mainstream you'd have a good quantity of games? Struggling to understand why you'd spend a year doing it otherwise. I mean that time must have cost money, yes? Something had to fund that didn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleduck Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Yep, we had some funding to make these games. We also look for publishing opportunities with other gaming/html5 portals, and not just Firefox OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
