It's my penis. And yes, I make house calls :}

There's a good chance stubborn folks will be mass-downvoting HTML5 games simply because of the alternate format.

Kind of a shameful practice really, but a thought worth considering nevertheless when featuring them prominently. It's a new medium and will unfortunately take some time to develop fully. Still, I'm thankful for this progression and attempt to stay with the times on Tom's and the entire Newgrounds development team's part, and I am glad many forum users feel likewise about this change.

Well then. Onwards and upwards.

I had considered trying out Construct some time back; nice to see NG supports it now!

Also, last I checked, it's free, so no need to worry about not having the money for Flash! But it's just for games, though.

Construct 2 has a free version and commercial versions. Another program I'd recommend for HTML5 game development is GameMaker: Studio.

Trying to gather up some GameMaker guys to give their games a try on NG. There's actually an HTML5 version of Karoshi so I asked Jesse about uploading it under the existing project, to serve as an alternate file on devices that don't support SWF - we have the system set up for that as well, the same way we are gradually serving video files for existing SWF submissions when viewed on mobile / TV.

I actually have GM:Studio and used it since I was 9 (2008, from version 7) so that's the perfect chace to put these skills to the test. I also have Google's SWF to HTML5 converter, but it only supports up to very small 1MB files.

Many GM users have been skeptical about HTML5 because the major gaming sites like Kon/NG have not supported it until recently. I'm sure you'll see a lot more GM games on NG when things pick up. I've actually applied for an invite myself, and I'm looking to be more active around here.

Will we be able to use the same system to submit flash games that are served through an iframe? Perhaps the zip upload could basically just contain code for the iframe for the game?
