Title: can ags be used to make an exclusively online game?
Post by: passer-by on Wed 22/02/2012 18:35:40
Hi,

Is there a way to use the ags engine to make an exclusively online game (even if it is a simple tetris style thing) or do the files always have to be downloaded?

Thanks

AGS generates a windows 32bit executable, so not really.

There's XAGE (http://clarvalon.blogspot.com) though, which allows running AGS games in a browser (after some manual conversions).
Unfortunately, the main site clarvalon.com which also had demos seems to be offline.

You might be better off using Construct or a similar engine that's specifically tailored to produce HTML5/Silverlight games.

I'll have a look, thank you.
