Has anyone released for Windows 8 using AppGameKit yet?

I'm looking into it, and wanted to get any tips before getting started.

AGK was created using C++, Microsoft requires C# it's on the list but it won't be an easy job.

AGK already does Windows desktop applications, I presume the discussion here is Windows Store apps, i.e. Windows RT. If you have a desktop app ready to go you can already submit it to the Microsoft Store.

If its WinRT then no its not supported. On a side note WinRT apps can be created using 3 basic methods at the momemnt:

c# & XAML
c++ & DirectX
HTML5

Not 100% sure as winRT also has some language etensions c++/CX which may be an issue.

I forgot a few combinations in my last post :

You can write Windows Store apps in a variety of languages, such as C# and Visual Basic with XAML, C++ with XAML or DirectX, and JavaScript with HTML/CSS.

I suppose it depends on how compatible HTML5 is, does it support WebGL standards?
