Overview / Usage
Heart of Smoke is a platformer game with 90's feel. Players must clear the levels using two characters: the smoke wizard Eneen can fly by creating a bird and attack with bats. The ninja girl Rae is more fast and can attack with her katana.
As a Construct 2 game many players and developers suspected that it could be heavy to load due to the HTML5 code (running on a browser wrapper, NW.js). We were happy to see the result not being the expected one: the game runs great in almost any computer!
Methodology / Approach
As an indie game studio, time is a really important asset (the most important one). We do not have ways to develop huge pieces of code from scratch.
To solve this we tried to research which framework or engine could help us in the best way. By running benchmarks and usage tests we decided to choose Construct 2. It is the faster development engine out there. Even Unity could not beat the development speed from this engine.
Technologies Used
- HTML5
- NW.js
