Building a JavaScript RPG game + Releasing on Steam (Danger Crew presentation)

In this meetup presentation, we cover the journey of creating an RPG game with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We package up the project with Electron to release on platforms like Steam. My friends and I didn’t know anything about game development when we started this project, but we quickly learned that our front end development skills were very useful in the process. I hope the topics in this video encourage you to get started with making your own JavaScript game today! 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:30 Danger Crew 00:02:57 Roadmap 00:03:52 Demo 00:08:15 JavaScript Frameworks 00:09:12 Building the Overworld 00:10:55 Camera system 00:12:33 Character art 00:13:52 SVG 00:14:56 Single frames 00:15:24 Sprite sheet animations 00:16:50 Building the Battles 00:18:09 Battle Actions 00:20:00 Turn Cycle 00:21:44 Web Dev and Game Dev aren’t so different 00:22:53 Intro to Electron 00:24:10 Packaging the game with Electron 00:26:24 Steam page 00:27:
