YoYo Games employee Andrew McCluskey has posted online the first publicly playable game created using the HTML5 version of GameMaker.
R5Maddening is a version of Remaddening created using an early build of GameMaker HTML5, which is currently in closed alpha.
Update: A HTML5 version of Jesse Venbrux’s They Need to be Fed is also available to play at YoYoGames.com
It would be interesting to know what levels of performance you experience when playing (or trying to play!) the games.
Certainly worth buying. Very exciting. They need to be fed was awesome to play, btw.
That’s super awesome, and highly addicting. Ran pretty smooth for me (windows 7, latest chrome), but slowed down a tiny bit when the spikes came in. Overall, very playable performance.
They Need to be Fed also now has a HTML5 version (Updated post: http://t.co/BNNIYIm )
It is running pretty fast for me… which version of Chrome are you on 13.0.782.112 here and without an FPS counter I would say it is 50-60fps
Also if noone has noticed we have put They Need To Be Fed up on the HTML5 page at yoyogames.com http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/html5
Neither of these games have been engineered specifically for HTML5 and are just straight recompiles of the Windows / iOS versions…. Enjoy!
I just tried again after updating Chrome to 13.0.782.112. No change in performance for me. Also tried it in the latest Opera Next (Nightly Builds) which is Opera 12. Once again no change in performance. I had planned on buying into HTML5. After these demos I’m not so sure i want to spend my money.
Playing when I get home!!! RT @GameMakerBlog: Play R5MADDENING: Play Remaddening in GameMaker HTML5 http://t.co/NgsyPBa
M5DDENING is really fun, and plays full speed for me. There are rays in the background and the color selector doesn’t work, though. They Need to Be Fed works great as well, with only a slight pause after completing levels (and a huge physics glitch, which may be irrephant to HTML5). I also noticed audio doesn’t work for either. I’m hoping this’ll be worked out eventually. 🙂
Specs:
Intel Integrated Graphics
Celeron 2GHz
2GB RAM
Google Chrome
Running about 50% normal speed in Chrome (WinXp). Vibrating view. No audio at all. :/
Yeah, exactly the same here in Chrome on Win7.
Tried again and now it’s running only a hair slower than normal.
It may just be me, but that thing is pretty damn slow. I hope not all the games perform like that. I tried in Firefox, Opera and Chrome.
I think Philip meant to link to http://www.nalgames.co.uk rather than the sandbox link.
Indeed I did. Dinner being ready interfered with my post!

Additionally.
I’m unsure if its meant to be so or not, but level shakes while playing the game, and there are strange ‘ray’-like artifacts in background. Also alpha-0 polygons flicker, and color menu does not work at all.
But I think its a good start.
Yep, my bad
This doesn’t appear to be HTML5? It’s an exe? =S
Links been fixed. Ignore me, future readers.
That’s pretty cool. Not sure if that jumpiness is intentional but ultimately it runs pretty smoothly for me.
As a quick FYI, the screen shake is due to my using an older copy of the Remaddening editable to create the HTML5 version (madnessMADNESSmadness used screen shake to cover up a minor platform engine glitch; Remaddening did too initially but once I discovered a fix I updated it to remove the shake and make the game smoother).
Other discrepancies between the HTML5 and original PC versions, such as the “rays” in the background and the colouriser not working in some browsers, may well just be things that aren’t fixed yet. I was just given the “okay” from Mike to publish something in HTML5, so I did 🙂
Chrome, windows 7 64-bit, It is *really* slow and no sound, but I must say, I am very impressed. Kudos, Yoyo!
