Creating HTML5 Web Games for Marketing Books

[CromwellWrkshop]

Recently, I released one of my titles 32 Paths  to develop thinking strategies and I thought that an effective marketing strategy would be to investigate using HTML5 web games for marketing books.  I have achieved an initial 125% increase in traffic in one day and with the ability to update features daily this number can be exponential...One can compete with the larger publishing and gaming distributors and moved from 2D to 3D content.  There is an added benefit of reaching different audiences and thinking about how to combine user narratives into novels in e-books.  It is an exciting time for independent book publishers and authors.

Total Time for Construction: 8 Hours

Either I'm being really dense, or the game didn't work for me.

I hit space to start, then was presented with a grid. After that, nothing happened.

Using Firefox 11 on Windows 7

*Update* It worked on Internet Explorer 9 but I can't help thinking it's Asteroids....

All I see is a frame with an X in it

But should this not be in the Marketing section?

Thanks...Works best with IE 9 and/or Firefox 11.

Thanks for the comment...True....Working with that game template to work on multiple levels.  However, the codebase is easy to follow and is scalable to move to role-playing games in 3D.

Thanks,
