I felt the GW2 beta was quite nice, but at the end of day didn't really offer anything new. It's "more of the same", but in a refined, improved way. I think it'll be quite popular with the MMO crowd. :)

Personally, for me, the highlight of the decade is Diablo 3, but that's for another thread!

Strawdog Studios and Turbulenz developed a HTML5 version of Space Ark, and the beta version is now available: https://turbulenz.com/#!games/space-ark

It's fairly well done!

Syk0: The latest beta is r86, which you can currently find here. :)

The Arcade expects the latest beta version, not the latest stable release.

- more event sheet features (coming up in next beta release)

I suppose you don't need more people telling you this, but you're awesome. :)

What version are you using? There are probably two different "current" versions: the beta and the stable. Chances are that it's the other one that the Arcade wants.

This C2-made game that also uses the physics behaviour runs consistently at over 40 fps on my iPad 2 with iOS 5.1. It's possible to make fun and playable HTML5 games with C2 that work fine on mobiles, though I agree that most I see are sluggish and unresponsive (this isn't limited to C2-made ones).

So I think it would be best to wait on that for a while, especially since its a big and complex project. So event sheet features looks like the best place to start for now.

Good call. This is a better order anyway, since more event sheet features will also allow for more varied, more complex online games later on. I think most people want that anyway, even if they don't know it. ;)

Very well done, and it even runs really well on my iPad2, with the fps being consistently over 40 (average ca. 43) with iOS 5.1. And it was fun, too!

Tough choices. :). I was tempted to go with online multiplayer option, because of how huge that would be, but for me, more event sheet features would be even more attractive, so my vote went for this.

I actually prefer the view in the first picture. Yes, it's more traditional, but it's traditional for a reason! :) I would probably enjoy the game either way and don't think the difference is really decisive, but there's some value to familiarity, the "feeling right" aspect.

whats ironic is i dont really need what the standard version offers other than being able to make more than 100 events, and being able to sell the game

You mean you don't need anything other than the main benefits of the standard version? <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
