never had to move to another engine, but i never mentioned what tools i use, i just mentioned html5 thats all. and 90% of them dont have a problem with it. they even encourage it, however not sure what wold happen if id say Construct2 ... i think most of companies look at tools based on their communities and the community progress and publishing, so that means, if the arcade in community is what they evaluate the C2 for its never going to be a good product to use. since all arcade games are same cloned templates low quality buggy things.
but if there wold be more quality content and good performance products i think they'l reconsider, also its a matter of marketing C2 .. i seen a few issues along side.. and some people are ranting at C2 cause they dont know really what it is but what they read from others(good example Pencyl - i changed the initial letter for not making them look bad- its a flash similar to c2 game engine, that has a similar community but .. its supported by haxe and ... tadadadaaaa Kongregate.. and we all know what its going on kongregate forums... well lets just say its a part of that bar corner where everything smells fishy and people are not worth trusty... and considering that most companies are using kongregate... they also see news feeds and user updates which rant the usage of c2 after trying it 1 time - by 1 time im saying like 30 seconds- or by playing some crappy demo games... and also to mention that most of this people dont know the difference from a demo and final product but hey.. i dont judge... * please santa...* )
however letting all the things that annoys me most in the web wide world, its all about how you sell your skill sets i guess. no big company will actually tell you what they are using... i seen a indie game company saying they do game right? so i asked the support for some more details of what they where using, and they where saying to me.. that all code its in html5 .. however when i got my source back... i got a html5 browser compiled game and funny a archive with the source files containing a caproj.. i wont say the business name but its pretty big and its funny cause if you check their website there is no mention of the tools what they use.. but.. they using .. so i think in end what you dont know doesn't hurts you right? ) same goes for the people you will work for.
i hope i made any sense ... and im not just losing my mind..
Cheers,
