The progress of HTML5/Javascript conversion (Patreon)
Content
As some of you know, adobe will stop the Flash support until the end of 2020. This doesn't means all the flash content will stop to work, the updates will cease and some browser may refuse to play them after this. Or not. Who knows? It's hard to believe something with lots of potential will be cease to exist because... no real reason. It's like closing ice cream stores because exists Petit Gateou.
Because of that, I am stopping to develop new projects on project. I am using HTML5 canvas+javascript, which is the alternative the flash company(adobe) is offering. There is some similarities, but I can say, so far, it's not a fair exchange at all. Or it's because I am still used to those old conventions. HMmm...
I am trying to convert the original game to HTML5+javascript and it's a completely nightmare. I am replacing all the code but it's not enough, I may need to make a completely new design, change and remove features. No alpha channels, no vectors, no font filters, no animation effects. And this got me thinking: it's a lot of work to make a worse version. It's making me sad.
That's why I am deciding to keep using flash for Jane mode, the advantages are too great to simply dismiss the original build. There is several options to run swf files right now. Great options like:
-MPC-HC (For windows)
-Extreme Flash Player

I will build a section just for that, gather a list of solutions to how to deploy and run swf files. I can't test on Mac, iOS and Linux right now. Let me know if you are using these platforms.
Meanwhile I will keep working on the HTML5 conversion, try to squeeze the maximum of quality possible, My next personal projects will use this tool as well, making something from 0 is easier because I can work around the limitations. Like the 2019 holiday project, I think it worked very well.
And you? What you think of all this? Better to spend time producing new content or adjusting previous stuff? Having troubles to run swf files? Do you like petit gateau?
PS-Speaking of future projects, I am working in three different things. Of course is related to cute muscular girls! I will post more info when I get something solid and playable.
