The Future of Royal Games

Hello Royal Gamers

Flash is going to disappear on December 31st 2020. It’s a difficult situation but the powers that be have decided that Flash has to go. We would love to be able to keep things running the way they were but it’s just not possible.

We are a very small crew of dedicated guys and gals that want the best for this site and for all of you that have stuck with us through thick and thin. Sadly, we have to make some changes to ensure we can keep things running and improving in 2021 and beyond.

HTML5 Games
We really wanted to convert all of the games but this has turned out to be far more complicated than we initially anticipated. So we took the hard decision to start converting the most popular games. For the beginning of 2021, the following (should) be the lineup of games moving forward.

I Love Treasure

Klondike Solitaire

Hoop de Loop

Pepper Panic

Monster Fever

Puff Fish Poppers

Beached Buddies

Gin Rummy

Princess Peony 

Ace Solitaire(2012)

Bubble Witch

Candy Crush

Papa Pear

Farm King

Release the Creeps

Diamond Digger

Stitcheroo 

Bubble Saga 

Cat Corner

Golf Solitaire

Honey Mine

Mahjong Masquerade

Kalorie King

Klicker Fusion

Pet Rescue

Performance Issues in HTML5 Games
HTML5 can be more RAM and CPU intensive than Flash, which means older systems can struggle. 

Trust me, I see everything! I hear the complaints and I am going to address them in 2021.

We are going to look at optimisation for HTML5 games in 2021. We are investigating RAM usage and aim to outline RAM requirements. This should give you all a better performance benchmark, but hopefully we can bring those requirements down in 2021. This is not going to be an overnight process however, so as per usual, I very much appreciate your patience.

Flash Games
What this means is we are going to be delisting the vast majority of our Flash games by the end of the year. This is not a decision we have taken lightly but it is our only choice. We can’t support these games if the browsers do not.

The shame is we lose a lot of classic games and no doubt some of our amazing long-term players, which is horrible. We hope you do stick around because we are always trying to think about the future and how we can improve things. My hope is that in 2021 we get to concentrate less on HTML5 (basically keeping the site alive) and more on bug fixes, improvements and new features.

Site Features
We are also porting over the Castle, Avatars, Spinners, Freeroll Spinners and all of the other little Flash Elements that make up the site. The aim is to also have this done by December 31st 2020. There is a small possibility that some elements might not be entirely finished, but we are working hard to make sure this does not happen.

Summary
So there it is! That is what is happening in its entirety. I have to reiterate, I wish we could have converted every game, but with all the will in the world it just could not happen. I know we are going to lose some of you and I completely understand. All I can say is thank you so much for being part of this site and creating one of the most unique gaming communities on the planet. I sincerely hope you do stay and that we continue to keep entertaining you for many more years to come.

  • Million dollar question>> How come the only HTML game I am able to play on HTML is "Hoop the Loop"?? Works great. I go to other HTML games and there is no option to hit "play now". That is odd....

  • I'm not sure why all the card games where not converted.. those should be easiest among all of them.

  • OMA'S Birthday list 4 december: --- CAGGAN --- CHPMARIJE--- FROUFROU73 --- HOLLYGULLY --- ------MRS.KORREL ---S1MSY -------- SLAINTE_2-------- Royal anniversary: JERRYGARCIA (15 years) Thank you so much XX

  • my freespin & freeroll froze - no surprize - but I hit return instead of backspace after freespin - it played & i got charged $1.10 - guess that shouldn't b a surprize either..........ye haw

  • what needs to be addressed is the games taking too long to load, freezing at the end or not loading at all. Case in point, i just finished Beach Buddies and it froze at the end of the game. As I'm typing this comment the other screen is still frozen.

  • My only problem is this. I have been here since 2009. I love the games and will, hopefully, continue to do so. However, some games do not even load, while others load and play fine. I have stopped asking for a refund since its more work than its worth sometimes. I will stick it through.

  • After reading some of the posts I now understand better about this flash thing. Thank you for that. My biggest thanks goes to this site and the ones that work it. I have had 10 years of fun here. In some of my saddest times this site helped to give my brain some space which helped ease the hurt. T

  • This is the highest posts I've seen in 11yrs! I dread to think if Black Diamonds & Silver accounts that are non cash players were able to post! It would go through the roof? meaning the posts! Bye now & like I said where ever in the world. PLEASE STAY SAFE & WELL! See you soon hopefully. xx

  • The difference is -- HTML requires a 64-bit computing system, which is slower and uses more ram. Windows 10 is already 64-bit, Windows 7 & 8 are usually 32-bit, BUT there are 64-bit versions out there as long as you have the ram to support it. Just be careful where you get them - Need safe site.

  • Thank you for the communication! Devastated that Midas Mahjong didn't make your list....my favorite game! Hopefully, the HTML5 games will play a lot faster than they do now. All Best!

  • When I logged on tonight and went to Cat corner I thought NOooo! its gone and only that psychedelic migraine version is left, but I tried it and yay you've kept the original cat characters & their colours albeit a bit more fluorescent but at least distinguishable.

  • I know the techs are under pressure & trying! But how come other top games sites have no problems? I cant wish you a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Sorry! It's just the way I feel being shielding since since Feb/ But I can wish you all? please stay safe & well... Best wishes! UK xx

  • It's going to put many more of us in a low mood? many cant see our loved ones to date or friends in the real world at Christmas! And then we loose many games on! New Years Eve... What a great start to 2021... My account here will be dormant! I will login now & again to see if things have improved?

  • What stops you from converting games after December 31st?

  • I read many of your posts & are interesting! Why have it taken this site 3 YR'S Plus to try & correct? Flash Player it is well outdated by many top game sites way back now... I love playing here but now! With this virus all over the world & most games gone after the! December 31st 2020... 2nd

  • Thanks for the communication, its sad a lot of classic games will disappear like 8 ball, big bang, pool king Itsy Spider etc. I cannot believe that Liquid LMNTS is not on your converted list!

  • Well looks like you might finally get to change the site's kernel that's has been a compatibility nightmare . (damn the royalties ) Ever consider offering the old flash versions for download ? Just because the browsers stop using it doesn't mean it's still not on one's computer .

  • Thanks for the update, RG. Mac Mini is the least expensive Mac you can buy. Mac has always had HTML so I've never had any problems with it. Tim Cook isn't the principled person Steve Jobs was and too many updates now. But it's still a reliable and simple to use computer.

  • I more than likely will not close my account.. but this is a rough time now for most people including myself, my computer is older and i do not wish to add ram and so fourth so it will take me longer than i expected to get a new 1 and return.. but return i will eventually. thanks for explaining. ~J

  • Some you can do with the game thate been on html5 fr.om flash you can get the range can thate not mean even you can get over the proment the player get ex Big Bang have 3 000 time to get the Big Bang to get all 6 provment if the new been on 0 whay don't folow it to 3 000 i the new big bang rea
