I would prefer to have a specific theme to follow (it'd help me know what to do instead of being paralyzed not knowing what to do), and have the games divided into sub-categories. Makes better organization sense, and would allow for more winners. :)

Nevermind. I still have this problem, but I thought of a different direction I want to take this game, so I'm going to try that instead.

Thanks anyway.

Alright, so I'm already stuck (lol). I'm trying to make a tycoon game somewhat like Shopping Street (http://www.flonga.com/play/shopping-street.htm), or Amuse Park (http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/amuse-park/).

One of the elements I'm trying to emulate is getting the customer to stop and "vanish" for a short while when they overlap with the game shelf. For some reason though, the customer simply goes behind the game shelf, and nothing happens.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you Lucid and Ashley for your responses, I appreciate it. :)

Goodwill - they will help find employment and train you in new skills to land a job. And focus on employment before you sit down and stress about building a Tycoon game. IMO

Actually, I still live with my parents, so it's not so much of an issue. Plus I already have assistance in finding employment and getting training. In fact, I start college next year. In the meantime though, I have nothing to do with my time.

I have this neat idea for a Tycoon theme. But lately life has been really hard for me (been unemployed since last December, haven't been able to find work since then, and have $2 in my bank account, so I can't even get the full license to Construct 2 yet).

It seems overwhelming to me. I don't know how to motivate myself to get started, or how to just break the process down into small, doable tasks. I'm still new to game development, never published a game before.

Really could use your advise.

Thanks.

Ashley mentioned he's working on a tutorial for making a platformer game. Should be out soon, I hope.

I found another site dedicated to HTML5 games:

http://html5-games.org/contact.php?subject=Submit%20a%20Game

What's a point and click game, exactly? I think I might know but I just want to make sure.

HTML5games.com might also be interested, and then there's a whole slew of standard indie gaming sites you can try to get noticed on - they're not specific to HTML5 but you can still give them a go - IndieGames.com, TIGSource, PixelProspector, etc. I might add some of these to the tutorial actually.

Thanks for those sites, that's a great place to start on.

To be honest, I was actually hoping you'd be mentioning sites like this in your tutorial.

Might I suggest writing a separate tutorial for tips on how to promote your game, and including those sites in that tutorial?

Thanks again.

Hey Ashley, I saw your tutorial, it was very good. I should have used different wording, I meant to ask, what sites are there that we can use to promote our HTML5 games on?

Facebook and the Chrome store are options obviously, but I was wondering what other options were available.

Thanks for your responses.

I know there are flash game portals like playfish and kongregate, but are there any places where you can submit/embed an HTML5 game?
