Game Idea with Construct2
Mon, 2013-09-23 16:37 — superadmin
Dear readers, I had the need to test new framework for Game Development, to improve the speed of development in Xhelos.
I have been thinking on ways to improve the code of the game in the backend and the way Im developing Xhelos in the front end. Libraries like Doctrine to handle the database, and frontend frameworks like Backbone to improve the interface of the game.
Well, three weels ago I decided to test an IDE for pure HTML5 games development called Construct2, that allow you to create easily and without writing any code, games in Javascript. It doesnt have server support by default but it help you connect to a data font using Sockets or Ajax.
So I will try to develop a simple platform game, to see what things can I do with the tool, specially the connection and extraction of data via Ajax.

Of course the game is going to be freely available via a subdomain of xhelos. If you want any info about the things I have done in Construct2, feel free to tell me about it!.
So far Construct2 seems like an easy tool, specially for making animations in Javascript, a thing that is hard to do in Javascript alone. The title of the game is going to be Invasion :D
