The Linux NW.js export is for x86-based CPUs. The Raspberry Pi is an ARM system so needs a separate build, which doesn't exist yet unfortunately.

Your best bet is to try to get a HTML5 export running in Chromium. Last I tried if you enabled their experimental graphics driver you could get WebGL, but it wasn't very fast and was pretty unstable. I think they're still working on it though so it may be getting better, I just haven't checked for a while.

Thank you Ashley, do you think that a simple game in pixel art with no effects and a resolution of 256x144 like this should be fine?

I think to create games with resolution up to 320 x 240, but if performance are good I can try to push it up to 640 x 480 even if they are not my priority.

I haven't seen Linux in your FPS comparison, so I was wondering if there was something wrong with the exporter.

Honestly I never tried to export on Linux because I haven't any machine to test the game, but if that will do it then why not?

Thank you — Yeah the tinker board seems more performing but I am worried for how long it will be around since the community around it isn't the same as the one for the pi.

I have read many opinion in contrast with each other about the pi but it seems that with Raspian on it and the ExaGear on it, it can run quite ok Win32 games that don't require hardware acceleration, so I was wondering if exporting a game for Win32 could be a workaround.

Hi ethanpil, did you had any luck with your experimentations?

Thanks

Hi guys, any update about this? I was hoping to buy a raspberry just for run my games but I would like to know what's the best export to use for better performance after one year of updates.

Thank you

Hi, thanks for the feedback and sorry for delayed reply

I understand your point, I have heard it before as a feedback. We (as GAMEE) are a very young company, we are still building the platform. Obviously we want to open it to 3rd party developers and at that point, all the info should be available, including the monetization. That being said, we are still working on the platform itself (we started testing monetization with interestial ads only last month on 10% of our users).

The main goal of this Contest is to introduce GAMEE platform to developers + get feedback. Also with the best games, we would want to cooperate more and eventually launch those games on our platform. But that would be about individual deals with individual developers / studios. The incentive to submit your game for this contest should be the prizes + possibility of future cooperation.

I know that to evaluate the ROI of such possibility, you need more data. Unfortunately we don't have them yet - we don't know exactly how much can a game earn at our platform and thus we don't have any rev-shares models .

So what can developer gain by the cooperation?

- Exposure - we have 10M MAU (monthly active users) across multiple platforms

- Early access - you can be one of first 3rd party developers to work with us, one of the first to have the monetization once we have it ready. If we go big (and we plan to) you go big as well.

- Money - eventually, we can discuss possible solutions before the monetization is available, again case-to-case basis.

I hope this helps answer some of your questions.

Thank you GameeApp for your reply. I will see if I can squeeze some time to do a small project, otherwise I will join the party later.

Good luck with your new collaboration project

Hi GameeApp,

while the platform seems very interesting the lack of details might hold back serious developers that have to consider daily costs to run their studios.
