Hi guys,

This is actually for the admins to help and read..
I am the owner of Touchten.com
we are based in Indonesia, and just been approached by Google's main guy for Indonesia
to make our existing game available and TO be FEATURED and SHOWCASED not only the webstore, but also in their Mega PR (tv ads etc)

We want to port our existing games to HTML5 so that it will be ready for the Chrome Web Store.

we read you did it for some of our members here..

how can we do the same?

this will be beneficial for Gamesalad, as we have already 7 Million active chrome users in Indonesia, and growing with this Launch due this coming January 2012

Youll have to wait till google chrome is available to all of us. Theres no special treatment where they will put your games up before every else gets it. Like tshirt said his games are up only because gamesalad wanted to use them to test there system.

This was posted recently:

So basically there is no super easy or clean method by which we can put an app on the chrome web app store. There is, by a little workaround, a method.

Firstly you will need a chrome license and all that stuff that you should already know how to do.

Secondly you need to publish your app to the gamesalad arcade; the HTML5 publishing option.

Now for the harder, chrome-ish parts.

1. Using Dashcode (http://developer.apple.com/xcode/) create a manifest.json that looks like this:
{
"name": "Chrome Drums",
"description": "Awesome Drum Simulator - Ultimate Fun",
"version": "1",
"app": {
"urls": [</p>
<p> ],
"launch": {
"web_url": "http://whereveryourgameisembedded"
}
},
"icons": {
"128": "128.png"
},
"permissions": [
"unlimitedStorage",
"notifications"
]`
}

Save that file (as a .json, named manifest) in a folder called something along the lines of "my_app", changing the parts you need to change--the name, description, and "launch".
In the folder you saved the manifest to, save your icon @ 128x128 pixels in the same folder; call the icon 128.png.

Right click and compress the folder. Then go here :: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/update

Upload the .zip. The next steps are self explanatory.

Scitunes,
So in theory we could put our GS arcade app on the chrome Store it would just have the branding at the bottom?

No idea. I haven't tried this. I found this on the forum a while back and copied and pasted it into notepad (I wondered if it would get deleted from the forum). When I tried to search for it on the forum I couldn't find it so I went back to notepad and pasted it in. The original post came from "calebdaniels".

Lucky for me I have a few ways I can search things on the backend of the site.
