You can also use this to create "branches" of games, or keep backups of work in progress. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Attack_of_the_Clones http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Attack_of_the_Clones Thu, 31 Dec 2009 09:02:37 GMT Hey everyone! I am pleased to announce the launch of the new "Standalone Publish" feature. This allows you to download a standalone version of your game, which can be deployed to your own web server and will run entirely without contacting the Effect Games servers. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Standalone_Publish_Now_Available http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Standalone_Publish_Now_Available Wed, 23 Dec 2009 22:33:41 GMT Hey everyone, we just fixed a file upload bug. Certain TrueType font files were getting corrupted on upload, and not displaying properly. If you have uploaded any TrueType fonts to your game, you may have to re-upload them again. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Font_Upload_Issue_All_Fixed_Now http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Font_Upload_Issue_All_Fixed_Now Sat, 12 Dec 2009 21:52:20 GMT In response to many questions, we have just updated our End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy, to be more clear about game licensing and your rights as developers. Please review the latest revisions, and provide us with any feedback you have. Thank you all for your excellent questions and comments! http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/License_Agreement_and_Privacy_Policy_Upd http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/License_Agreement_and_Privacy_Policy_Upd Thu, 10 Dec 2009 07:51:30 GMT Well, after 4 years the Effect Engine and portal are live. Just a quick note to say, thank you to those of you visiting for the first time and a little bit of an extra "thanks" to those of you returning. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/First_Wobbly_Steps http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/First_Wobbly_Steps Mon, 07 Dec 2009 06:44:13 GMT Alas, we've had to disable HTML5 Audio support in Safari on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for the time being. MP3s no longer load using Snow Leopard's new QuickTime X extension (which HTML 5 Audio uses behind the scenes). http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Snow_Leopard_Native_Audio_Woes http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Snow_Leopard_Native_Audio_Woes Sat, 05 Dec 2009 05:47:31 GMT I am proud to announce the release of the Box2D Physics Plugin for the Effect Engine. Box2D is an open source two-dimensional physics engine used by several popular games, including Crayon Physics and Fantastic Contraption. Using this Plugin you can bring realistic physics simulations into your own games. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Box2D_Physics_Plugin_Released http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Box2D_Physics_Plugin_Released Sat, 05 Dec 2009 05:47:19 GMT Welcome to the new Effect Games Developer website!
