Soldier Jane Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I'd do it in XNA using C#. Sphere (which someone suggested) is also a great option, and they are apparently upgrading their game engine. When it comes to SNES-esque gameplay I wouldn't use a js/php/mysql environment. It can be done, but I wouldn't describe it as the most appropriate platform, unless you want it to be browser-based, then I'd recommend it over Flash any day.

I want the entire game to play in the browser.. I'm thinking I'm just going to keep going with Javascript/PHP... unless I find a really good reason to switch to Flash..

Soldier Jane Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 unless I find a really good reason to switch to Flash.. A good reason not to is the fact that iPhones don't support it. Alot of people use iPhones and would not be able to play your browser game on their device if you created it in Flash, which would diminish the availability to mobile devices considerably. Don't forget that there are other mobile devices too that would struggle with Flash, so JScript might be a much better choice if mobility is a part of your plan.

merveilles Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 I just found this... it's crazy amazing! o_O I definitely think I'm just going to stick with Javascript.. http://benfirshman.com/projects/jsnes/ I got it working in Chrome.. I can see JS browser games becoming a big thing soon.. I should probably really get to work on my game! ;; A good reason not to is the fact that iPhones don't support it.

I haven't really thought about mobility much... but it's something I'll consider eventually.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Considering making it available on mobiles would be, frustrating. I wouldn't bother about it, unless you're getting paid to do it. In which case I'd charge more. I'd make it Flash just to piss the iPhone users off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahahaha, I'd love to make something my iPhone-using friends love, only to have them unable to use it on their phones. It really annoys me when they sit there tapping away, ignoring everyone.
