Playcraft Engine

Post by Jackolantern »

I will say up-front this HTML5 game engine is in closed beta, and I have not had a chance to check it out yet. But wow, if it delivers on everything, it could be a great contender! It will support online multiplayer out of the box (and it said "the same language on the server and client", so I am assuming it is Node.js on the server), as well as automatic cross-platform deployment to web, Facebook, Android and iOS. Their webpage is also very slick and professional. I signed up to check out the beta when they are sending out more invites!

It is actually pretty nice been playing with it for a little bit. You guys should get you code shortly if you signed up. They are pretty quick to send them out. I got mine in a day or two after I signed up.

Wow, very cool! I got an acknowledgement email that I had signed-up, but am yet to receive my code. But then again it hasn't been even 24 hours yet since I signed-up.

I know you are probably under NDA, so being mindful of that, do you think it is living up to the website's image of it so far?

I got my code and am reading through the documents as we speak! :D

They gave me a code so a friend could immediately sign-up for the closed beta as well. Does anyone want it? (First ask, first served). It seems basically anyone can get into the beta, but having the code will allow you to immediately get access instead of waiting the 1 - 2 days for them to send you your own code. Just ask for it and I will PM it :)

If you still have it, I would like to get it! :)
