Just wanted to throw in that I also noticed Mac export didn't work for Insanity's Blade: causalbitgames.com/demos/IB.app.zip

Wasn't able to run the app after extracting from the folder, but then I looked in the contents of the app and ran the node-webkit file in MacOS and it worked.

MacBook Pro - OS 10.9

Core 2.5GHz Intel i5

4GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM

Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024MB

Also, a good tip is to make a "startup layout" that's very light on resources. Applications that don't "start" in a few seconds fail the test too.

Also, backers of $10 (full game pre-order) or more get a copy of the Insanity's Blade - EP for free!

Unfortunately you will need to use DirectX I believe. The application mode is really just "Windows controls only mode", and doesn't have much of any graphical rendering capabilities :(

I think what you need to do is use the HTTP/download object to get the contents (html) of a page, then dump it into the HTML object. After that it might work as expected but I'm not sure.

Also, you could try something with an iFrame like:

Looks great <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> He blends well into the different backgrounds.

Thanks — <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> If you have any other questions about the game we'll be happy to answer them!

— Thanks for your support! <img src="smileys/smiley41.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Sure that's a fine question to ask <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle"> we are currently making the game in Construct 2, but are looking into a Unity port in order to get onto mobile console devices like the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Mobile.

If we reach our stretch goals we're also hoping to port the game onto the indie game markets of other consoles too (http://unity3d.com/unity/multiplatform/consoles).

Still, that's a long ways away but we'll be keeping you up to date as we develop Insanity's Blade! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Okay, here's an example cap with sfx file and exe version. Unfortunately if it doesn't work then your computer probably isn't able to play positioned sounds.

I did have to tweak the roll-off and min volume settings of the XAudio2 object in the editor to get it to work.

Anyway, here's the example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4714446/SoundCloseToPlayer.zip

No problem! I'm happy to help <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Sounds like a fun game!

And good luck, I hope you do! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Sure thing timyo, I'm happy for any of the techniques in the examples to be used in commercial products <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Credit not required, but appreciated.

This applies to the game graphics included as well (unless they have a separate usage permission assigned in their respective folders).

The full game source files and resources (in the "Games" subfolder), are free for learning purposes/non-commercial works. Credit is again optional, but commercial use is currently not permitted of those exact files.

I hadn't thought of this question and updated the blog page with this information, thanks!
