Proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31tkQ4tp_2c. This was built using Gameleon, a HTML5, open source gaming server, and its visual editing tools

If you think it is cool, help spread the word about our kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/341483420/gameleon-sandbox-game-making-for-everyone

Democratization of games FTW!

From the title I thought this was going to me a visual programming approach to game programming ala GameMakerâ„¢, but it's apparently restricted/focused on top down RPGs and strategy type games. Still pretty cool, though.
The platform provides the tools to make top-down and isometric games. It is also open source, so if you feel that you want to add more to it, you can always hack the code and add any functionality you choose

The server is based on open standards and technologies, so modifying it should be straight forward

I have a funny feeling that almost any HTML5 game developer ends up creating a framework instead of a game these days :). Gameclosure, Impactjs etc.
Looks very impressive and well thought-out--good luck!
Thank you! Will update our campaign tomorrow
wow, this is very cool. pledged.
Thank you!
