bbgengine Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 If there was a site where you could learn how to build browser based games would you paid for it? If not would you at least donate or mind it having advertising? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleMassacre Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Advertising doesn't really bother me. I'm not much to pay for online tutorials without knowing if the content is going to be less than par though. Some people may go ahead and donate to the site if they feel it's worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulanbato Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I do not like advertising, but can learn how to build the best web game Advertising doesn't really bother me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcvenom Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) In my opinion you can't really learn how to build a "Browser Based Game", people may not like "Your" idea and would probably like to come up with there own and the biggest downfall of this is there isn't any real "originality", I would hate having the same game as someone with the same features, yet others may argue on my point and say game engines provide all of what I have stated but we're talking about a tutorial not a game engine. Secondly if you we're going to open a site like this you would have to make sure what you teaching others is "safe" code wise and not lousy, because other most experience coders and developers could and would judge you on this and give you bad feedback others could even find loopholes and issues with your code. Thirdly the work and effort you put in wouldn't profit/benefit you, Why? Because there's so many tutorials and engines available out there for this, so what makes your idea different?. Those are just a few of my opinions just think about what i've stated but also bare in mind im not trying to discourage you, I just don't want you to make the same mistake as others :) Edited December 16, 2014 by jcvenom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I feel that the main reason people are scared when it comes to making their own game is that they don't know where to start, so I think this sort of tutorials are actually a very good idea as they give people a sort of "jump start".

Fair enough a tutorial like this could let people experiment with there own ideas but there is downfalls for some people but i totally agree with some parts of your opinion as its debatable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on who the writer thinks his readers will be, if he's writing this tutorial for people who're proficient enough but need some help then he won't have to much explaining. It just depends on who he intends his audience is going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you find it boring, you think that others would. ;) Me, personally I don't mind reading an article/tutorial/guide, so long as I'm learning and the piece I am reading is interesting. Just pointing this out, don't take this in the wrong way, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
