Last night I presented at the London HTML5 Game Dev meetup. As usual we had an awesome time and if you're based in or around London then you should definitely try and get along to the next one.

We've moved! Long live playcanvas.com!

We're taking the pain away from converting and uploading assets.

We're really excited to announce the launch of our new asset pipeline feature, which allows you to import all your assets into PlayCanvas via your web browser.

In Part 1 we introduced PlayCanvas Answers, our Q&A site for getting technical help from the PlayCanvas community.

Now we expanding our community features into the world of forums and random internet chatter. Though with the cutting edge technical flair that you've come to expect from PlayCanvas.

Ludum Dare 26 is coming up this weekend. To celebrate we're giving anyone who wants to enter using PlayCanvas instant access to our closed Beta. To double celebrate if you submit a game using PlayCanvas we'll give you a full year's subscription to the Indie plan when we go public in a few weeks. That's over $150 worth of HTML5 game-dev goodness right there.

In case you didn't know, PlayCanvas is based in London in the UK. There is a thriving game dev scene in London and the rest of the UK, but there was nothing specific to growing HTML5 game development scene. So we decided to help kickstart one.
