"Simple enough for a child; powerful enough for a developer."
If you haven't notice RPG Maker games have made a splash in Steam's Greenlight. Not a lot of them are great but those that are sure do shine. With RPG Maker MV I'm sure they'll shine even brighter and without a doubt they'll make better games but clearly the majority will not make the cut. With the new HTML 5 feature to use in browsers they are sure to make their way to AG for better or for worse. The site may be cluttered with crappy games or we'll have a fine set of fresh hot games.
In all honesty I'm pretty ignorant on what HTML 5 actually is, I think it's an engine but I also think it might be something that supports games? Honestly I don't know and I think AG supports HTML 5 now.
Tasselfoot did confirm "html5 games" will being supported.
I'm working in my free time to provide a html5 game to AG.
Html5 like it is called will soon dominate the mainstream of games, of you ask me. More and more flash applications are turned into DOM everyday.
Our newest coder monkey, @ventralchaos , has been hard at work on html5 support. Expect us to be ready to start hosting html5 games sometime later this month.
The caveat, as always... just because we support it doesn't mean we'll relax our standards to allow more of that content in. There are very poorly made games in Flash, Unity, HTML5... and everything else. If there is quality content that seems like something you fine folks will enjoy, we'll release it onto Armor. Otherwise, we will politely decline.
IMO, the more tools that are available for people to easily make games, the better. Nobody is a master on the first try, but the more accessible the tools and frameworks, the more people will get into it, and the more likely we'll be to get great new content. Worst case, I get more bad submissions and have to tell developers no. I hate doing that... but it's already a large portion of my day, every day.
