The Top 6 Benefits of Developing an Indie Game in HTML5

HTML5 games are games that are developed using HTML5, a markup language that is used to structure and present content on the World Wide Web. HTML5 games are typically browser-based games that can be played on any device with a web browser and an internet connection, without the need for additional software or plugins.

Now it is possible to develop HTML5 games also with tool as Construct (2 & 3), Rpg Maker (MV & MZ), Unity3D (in WEBGL), GODOT, Game Maker and other.

But why to develop a game in HTML5? Here 6 Reasons:

1. HTML5 is cross-platform and can run on any device with a modern web browser, which makes it easier to reach a wider audience.
2. HTML5 games can be easily distributed and played online, without the need to go through app stores or install additional software.
3. HTML5 allows for rapid development and prototyping, as it allows developers to easily make changes and iterate on their ideas.
4. HTML5 has a large and active community of developers and resources, making it easier for indie developers to find help and support when needed.
5. HTML5 has a wide range of tools and libraries available for game development, including frameworks like Phaser and Pixi.js.
6. HTML5 games are compatible with modern web standards and technologies, which makes them easy to integrate with other platforms and services.

HTML5 games are created using a combination of HTML5, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and JavaScript, and can be designed to be both simple and complex, ranging from simple, casual games to more advanced, immersive games with rich graphics and gameplay.

Meanwhile: it's 2017, the West has been at peace for decades, and wow, we suck at trust.

Surveys show that, over the past forty years, fewer and fewer people say they trust each other.

Nicky Case thinks that the game theory can help explain our epidemic of distrust – and how we can fix it! So, to understand all this...

You can play online his game, The Evolution of Trust, to test several combinations and to learn so more about the cooperation. Is it possible in our modern time? What are the consequences?
