Time for an update from the PlayCanvas development team! Throughout March, you may have noticed some updates to the PlayCanvas Editor. In case, you've missed any of them, here's a run down of what's new.
We're heading to San Francisco for GDC 2016!
TANX running on HTTPS
From today we now support HTTPS URLs on all published applications. So anytime you see a link to something on http://playcanv.as you can also use https://playcanv.as. After a short period of testing we'll be changing all default links to point to the HTTPS versions of the applications, though we will keep support for non-secure HTTP versions for the short term to ensure compatibility for applications that require a non-secure page.
Today we've launched an update to streamline the way you publish your applications and to give your collaborators more information about what is changing.
Rockets! Robots! UFOs! PLAYHACK with PlayJam starts now.
We've teamed up with PlayJam and our 6 week game jam starts today. Check out the assets and theme, get your thinking hats on, then go and fork the project and get started.
In preparation for your PLAYHACK game jam, why not run through our 6 part tutorial that takes you through building a complete game in PlayCanvas?
The six parts cover: Scene setup, Materials, Scripting, Audio and Particle effects and User Interface.
On Monday 1st of February we commence our biggest PLAYHACK yet. PLAYHACK with PlayJam is a 6 week game jam with thousands of pounds up for grabs for the best game developed using the theme and 3D assets that we provide.
It's been a long running issue that our Audio Source component wasn't quite feature-complete enough to do some of the more advanced features of an audio heavy game or interactive experience. Today, we're blowing those issues out of the water with a sonic boom!
Did you see our teaser last week? PLAYHACK is back! Our game jam returns in partnership with game publisher PlayJam.
Big news coming in February. Our monthly Game Jam PLAYHACK is back. This time we've partnered with games publisher Playjam to offer rewards for the best games you create.
