I'm on a macbook and have had some difficulty playing most of these games. Most of them that are on Itch give me an error and won't start, and many that I have downloaded on my system also won't start. I can see that they work for others, since people are commenting on them. Has anybody else had issues like this and know of a way to fix it?
I'm working on finishing up my game and would love to be able to try out everyone else's games and give feedback.
Thanks.
Even I noticed that web version of Godot games takes more time to load up then Unity games. Can you try out mine once. It is also made in Godot. As I don't have a Mac machine I was unable to test it. If it does not work we can try different efforts setting until it works. Hopefully it will be useful for other Godot users too.
So, I tried to play your game first in the browser, and again it didn't work. The loading bar showed and filled, then the loading circle (weird that there are two loading indicators), then I get this message:
call_indirect to a null table entry (evaluating 'Module["asm"]["Bk"].apply(null,arguments)')
I then downloaded your game and played the Mac build. That worked great. It was very fun, though it took me a minute to figure out how to get the powerups, or that they were powerups at all. It looks really good, the variety of enemies was good, and I really like the way the stars(?) moved around in the background. Nice work.
I prefer Godot over Unity as well. It's all User Preference. All Godot needs is to catch up with the seamless cross-platform thing and it will hold just fine with jams like these.
As for me, I'm still sticking to the ol' fashioned Game Framework, even if I have to acknowledge that porting it across platforms is such a headache.
AFAIK Godot has still some issues with HTML5 export when using Mono (c#).
Seems to be related only to OS devices: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/3526
Yes, there are some issues when exporting to HTML in Godot. But if you know them and keep them in mind while creating and exporting the game, it’s not that bad.
One thing I noticed is, that the threading api doesn’t work with html5 export. But you can work around this most of the time. And I guess most games don’t even use it. It’s mostly handy if you need to load a lot of stuff in the background.
The most important thing is to GLES2 (in the top right corner). This will improve the compatibility with different browsers.
I created a ‘game’ to test the performance and compatibility of godots html5 export here: https://redoxgames.itch.io/endless-offroad-driving
From the feedback and my experience it works good on: Firefox (Windows/Linux), Edge (Windows) And it doesn’t work on: Chrome running on Chromebooks? (Maybe these ‘Chromebooks’ where just underpowered for the 3d game?)
If you play the game, maybe you can leave a comment on your system and if it is working.
