Hi !

I was just wondering whether anyone knows, could gather or guess, if the 'Import' and 'Export' features in GameMaker:Studio would be better and more compatible than GameMaker:HMTL5 ? Meaning, would more features be available and compatible ?

I know, probably a guessing game or wait and see !

Thanks !

[GS-games]

I don't think anyone on gmc know that yet. Sorry. Wait and see :/
EDIT: Game Maker HTML5 is going to be replaced by Game Maker Studio (without modules)
Game Maker Studio will have physics

I think he means will more functions and features from GM:8.1 be supported in GM:Studio, than are currently supported in GM:HTML5.

[rwkay]

Which features specifically are you after?

HTML5 and Studio are the same code base so the short answer is that Studio is no different to HTML5 (apart from the multiple targets and some other professional features i.e. Source Control) so there is nothing in addition.

BUT we can make changes and add some things back in (as long as they are possible within the new structure of HTML5 i.e. GMX file structure) some of the GM81 Import features do not work or make sense within the new way of doing things.

Sorry if there appears to be some confusion from my post.

I was just wondering at the time, whether the GM:Studio would export as near to the original GM code from Windows to HTML5, iOS, Android and C++ ?

As I remember shortly after there initial GM:HTML5 beta release, there were few things that didn't work for me initially. From what I understand now, is that HMTL5 has Javascript behind it and that some routines might not work as expected. The development team at YoYo Games have a done a marvellous job at getting most of the routines from Windows GM, working in HTML5. All praise, for sure !

With regards to iOS and Android, I was wondering whether the export to those, would be in package format ? Like for Android, it would be in .apk format. This would then be a simple process in copying the file to you favourite Android device, so to run and and test it from there. From what I understand from iOS, you would have to download / pay for a development kit which would include an emulator to test and run projects. I think $100 was the figure stated and a years membership or subscription, then renew if needed.

The only other thing I was thinking about, was high score tables. How they would link to GameCentre and OpenFeint ? Would this by via a small routine ?

Many thanks !

Alex.

The C++ runner is much closer to GM81 that the HTML5 one (3D works etc.), but it still has some differences like GM:HTML5 does. the object depth system is the same for example.

I'm sure there will be stuff that doesn't work after launch, but there much less of a "feature not supported" than HTML5 has.

You will still need to be a registered developer to for iOS and Android.

There are new commands to deal with Game Centre and OpenFeint.

i hope gm htlm5 support multiplayer.no webgame engine is stronger gm html5,but it has just been single player.again i looking for a new engine continuosly,i have finish my game,its very cool,but in two week,i can not release my game because 'you play with your self' )

There isn't proper cross browser support as yet, IE9 is decidedly lacking in anything that could be used for multiplayer.

Unless, of course, you're making a turn-based game.

EDIT: I think it's better to create a new post for this question.

Maybe this is a noob question... how will Studio work for testing the game in mobile devices? (iOS, android) Through some sort of emulation? or how will I be able to test the game in such devices?

This two videos show the games actually working in the devices, but still it isn't clear how testing works:

Even if they would be not, one could create a library (.lib) to add D&D actions for these.

To say, would be rather interesting to see someone creating a multi-platform game without writing a single line of code.

[GS-games]

I nearly always use GML to make games, but with variables in DnD you can actually make a very good game. The most people that play games don't think about what techniques that was used
to create the game.
