A general take on the usage of digital property: In the spirit of agile development - I would use anything at your disposal so you can get the game in a playable state earlier. Over time, you can create your own art, music, etc. to incorporate into the game, but the first thing we HAVE to know about...

For sure. The one thing that I hope for (if I follow through) is that the game would turn into a community project of sorts. Using feedback to help shape the game.

Hey all, Long time. I wanted to stop in and ask you all a quick question: If I were to start screencasting the design and development of my game, would people watch? When I was trying to learn more about 2d game engines, game design, dev etc. I looked and looked for quality content out there (in fac...

Good to meet ya!

My first venture into character mechanics. Would love some suggestions on how to make it better: My version of 8 directional movement (no animations yet). if( ig.input.state('left') && ismove != 1 && ismove != 2 && ismove !=3 ) { if (ig.input.state('up') ) { this.vel.x = -thi...

it depends on the canvas size. 8x8 is large array for a 400 x 400. 2500 indexes. If you are doing a top down RPG then your view size might be 400 x 400 but your map size is going to be something like 2000x2000 which is an array of 62,000. Not saying it cant be done just be careful about memory. Wou...

It should be available through tablet and small for mobile using Impact (I'm assuming).
