[Bf-gamedev] HTML 5 exporter from BGE

there any interest from the community for such a feature?

Definitively. But unless you are considering to step up and join the
development team (which you should by the way ;), I'm afraid this is a
project we will all have to wait for.

> Another question, would it not increase the exposure of the BGE, as well
as make it look much more mature to developers?

Sure, but was that ever enough for something to get into Blender? I can
think of a few (lots actually) of features that fall into that same
description and unfortunately don't get into Blender for the lack of coders
or because there are other priorities (as far as allocating Blender
Foundation funded developers go, as I said, there is nothing stop someone
from picking up where it was left).

It's good to remember that the main BGE development is currently relying on
the contribution of coders and users in their spare time.


Cheers,
Dalai
