UK HTML5 Game Developers

Looking to Use a Custom HTML5 Game for Marketing, Education or a Serious Business Application?

HTML5 (the common name for the HTML5 markup language + CSS + JavaScript) is the most cost effective and time efficient technology for cross-platform game development for delivery across a multitude of devices, from desktop PCs and Macs to smartphones and tablets.

HTML5 games can be build for deployment across a multitude of platforms, including embedded in websites, for play in desktop and mobile web browsers, or built as offline applications for use on standard PC hardware.

If you're looking for UK based JavaScript/HTML5 game developers to create a game for user engagement, a specific marketing campaign, or some serious application, using modern technologies we can help. We can also convert and update your old Flash games to HTML5 for mobile compatibility.

How Can We Use HTML5 Games?

Branded HTML5 Games

We're a highly experienced HTML5 game developer with around a decade of experience in design and development of video games for digital marketing campaigns that intrinsically communicate brand values and product features and benefits in an engaging way.

We're totally comfortable producing artwork for games that conforms to the strictest of brand guidelines, while being mindful of the technical and functional aspects specific to designing games. Read more...

Future-Proof Your Web Games With HTML5

Using the latest web development technologies, HTML5 developers can be sure online content doesn't require users to install third-party web browser plugins.

HTML5 online games run directly in all major web browsers, so you don't need to worry about shifting third-party platforms or trends making games completely obsolete at a later date.

Flash to HTML5 Game Conversion

We can convert your existing Flash web browser games to HTML5 and make them compatible with current mobile devices as well as personal computers.

As part of each conversion project we'll also look at any required redesign work, improvements and updates to content, to keep the new version up-to-date. Read more...

Why Should We Choose HTML5 Web Based Games Over Mobile Apps?

HTML5 allows us to develop web games that don't require players to download and install an app, as well as allow quick and easy deployment after completion, without having to worry about requirements and submission processes for mobile app stores. With HTML5 mobile games your audience no longer needs the third party browser plugins required by other web technologies.

HTML5 games are compatible with a huge variety of devices and platforms, including popular iOS and Android smartphones and tablets as well as desktop PCs and Macs with modern browsers installed. So with HTML5 games there's no need to maintain and submit a different version on each of the mobile app store platforms.

Because you get total control over what, when and where to publish, this gives you more flexibility and certainty when it comes to timings of game releases.

Stand-Alone Application Game Development

If you need a stand-alone PC application, technologies such as Node Webkit, along with HTML5, provide developers with one of the most versatile game development platforms. This makes HTML5 ideal if you want to develop games for online and offline use with minimal changes for each build.

If you need a PC based interactive kiosk game (for use without a live internet connection), HTML5 is a great option. You benefit from streamlined, cost effective, cross-platform game development and the final build is practically indistinguishable from any other Windows application.

What Input Devices Can HTML5 Games Support?

HTML5 games can support many different input types depending on the application, including touch screen on desktop and mobile, mouse, keyboard and standard PC gaming controllers such as joysticks, gamepads and steering wheels, via the HTML5 gamepad API.

Additional Features

Our game development service can include scoreboard setup. This can be implemented as a global online scoreboard via a server-side script for online games, or local scoreboards for Windows application builds.

We can also offer integration with a variety of platforms, backend systems and APIs, as well as development of custom server-side scripts, where needed. It's best to discuss your functionality requirements with us, then we can figure out the best way to meet your goals.

Social media sharing buttons can also be included in your HTML5 game, to make sharing your online game link easier on Twitter and Facebook.

Our Custom HTML5 Game Engine

We develop our own HTML5 game engine, rather than using off-the-shelf/open source solutions. This gives us an easy to modify and update framework that enables us to offer rapid, high quality, custom online game development services, using new technologies, techniques and industry standard tools, without programming completely from scratch each time.

You're not paying us to reinvent the wheel, or deal with device/browser specific quirks and bugs. Our HTML5 engine gives us a code base that covers fast 2D GPU accelerated WebGL canvas graphics rendering and common game functions, so we can focus on using your budget on JavaScript code and asset creation specific to your project.

We also get full control of adding game specific features that we and our clients need. This allows us to stay right at the forefront of HTML5 game development.

Do You Offer Off-the-Shelf Customisable HTML5 Games

Unlike many HTML5 game developers we don't offer off-the-shelf customisable HTML5 games, we create each bespoke project for a specific client. This way we make sure every client gets a finished product that's designed from the ground up, rather than taking the "that'll do" approach by licensing HTML5 games from a pre-built catalogue.

This ensures you get the best fit for your project requirements and target audience, rather than having to pick from a limited selection of pre-built HTML5 games.

Because developing games using our own HTML5/JavaScript engine allows us to streamline the development process, we can keep development budgets and timescales under control. So developing games from scratch doesn't have to cost a fortune.
