Title: Export video game for Windows 8 Store
Post by: drlynch on Tue 09/07/2013 22:16:44
Hello everyone:

I've been looking for the ideal forum for this query. Do not know if it's this, but I think it is the most successful.

I would like to know if AGS has provided an export feature to Windows 8 Store. There are many game editor developed, such as Construct 2, Unity 3D, Unreal Engine, that allow export games in for the markets Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 Store.
Is there any way to do this?, Any plugin or some next version of AGS that has this feature?.

A greeting and thanks.

No, AGS does not have such built-in feature.
Never heard about plugin either. If someone did, please correct me.

Thanks for your answer Crimson Wizard, you are very kind.

It's a shame, because there isn't editor designed to make adventure games for these systems easily. I think it would be interesting to do something, though it should be very complex.

I will be alert to any developments.

Thanks very much.

What do you need to do to export to the Windows store? Anything special? For Steam, we added a plugin to make use of Steam features such as cloud saves and achievements, but we could have uploaded it without anything extra if we had needed to. Perhaps you could develop a similar plugin?
