OK, after my post and a long diskussion here i will give the community my problem as example. I hope that all the Kids, Parents, Teacher and all other people read this before they buying C2.
At First: C2 is a wonderful gamecreator with a great workflow. But at the end, when you will compile a game, comes actualy a very big problem with the Smartphone-Games!
Here my problem. I take in the links (not mybroken capx)! When i start a complete blank new project with only five small 2d cubes with physics the framerate goes unplayable down! My problem is this: My first game for Desktops are running beautyful. And hey, it was my first game with one year of hard work and learning. That i can not make Triple AAA StyleGames with C2 i knowledge. I am now 31. Began with playing Games on a c64! Gamebiz is not completly new land for me <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">
i have learned that to finished a game is a very hard way!
After this Game (with Advert for a local bar) i have the idea for my next project: Classic Pinball in the good old Amiga 500Style: TopDown with scrolling (look on youtube the Games Pinball Fantasy or Pinball Dreams. Its perfect for Smartphones!!!! Landscape with scrolling (only 3 Screens long with left/right Touch, on score for tilt. I have complete make own fonts. Alone this has cost 3 Days (watch the Screenshots). I have the Idea that other Clubs or a corporation comes to make Advert in my Games for them.
Parallel i haved the luck, that a friend come to me and tell me that they make videos on youtube with a group and she says wants me for an interview. But this group has a timeline! Now is the Video online. I tell about in the second half of the video about the pinball-Game (see link). But this pinball-game is complete useless without physics. Pinball Dreams & Pinball Fantasy are form ´92 & ´93 with physics on a "!Amiga 500!". Look at WIKI the hardware from a Amiga 500!
Ashley! Look on the AdvertVideo from Construct 2! Thats tell me i can make Games with it. Its more a "Game-Maker-Simulation"! What brings me and all the other user this wonderful programm when the primary future not run. Compiling a Game without Framestops! I have buy 329.99 $!!!!
Utopic: When you finished that problem.... And a Boss from a club comes to me and say: Make a pinball-Game with club-theme for me for money...... After this problems with construct: "What do think i can tell him, Huh?!?! I fell so insecure! I have for the pinballproject in the last 4 Month learnd Blender (See my pics in the link) Completly 3D Artwork.
I have composed the Musik completly self (No musicmaker!) When other people goes to partys, meet friends and other things i am every night sit hopeful on this project!
Zsysmek has wrote this:
Prototyping tool? Yes
Education tool? Yes
Professional game development software? No
Do you really tell me that i have pay 329.99 $ for a Prototyping tool???? Holy Shit. A book about Unity or UnrealEngine are 30 or 40$!
The only solution is to send a capx to a two manCompany that they can search whats wrong with their own gamemaker????
I have the simply caps with only some physical Cubes test it in many of combination in Intel XDK. Thats not normal! Call C2 "Early Access on Steam and not exploit creative people they make there batteries empty for a C2 Project, thats on the end not run! Oh, and for Betatests i take usally 329.99 $ per month <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">
Its very hard for me to tell you that in this hard words! But i have now the third day without sleeping!!!! That Scirra is a small team its ok for me! But look on Steam:
-Sir you are being hunted (one man)
-The Spatials (2 Bros. ) TIPP!!!! Famous Game!
-Elite
-The Banished (one)
-The Good Life (2 -3)
-Evochron (one)
-Citie Skylines (9)
Thats all Projects with a small team. But the different is: This Games run without problems! And i am sure: When i search for programs (not games) on google: I Found many! After all these years with your words of patience i will believe you nothing! You have became a lot of money from people! Noone has tell me after my buy that i need a 3rd Party Software (Intel XDK) with registration and everytime i load up my projects to people i am not know who are this people! Sensible-Project-Datas! WTF!
But hey, i acept it.... When my results are running! But dont......
I use Dropbox only for the games. 10 $ at month.
That what i want after all this shit: A clear "TRUE" Statement about the next weeks (not a post in the forum)! You can not say that C2 V 2.0.0 is finished and saying now are the updates are fewer because you make now C3 with this heavently problems about Smartphones......... I have this after 100 of hours and 329.99$ for nothing deserved! And many other people too! I will not damage Scirra, but this what you have say and make in the last monts is near a deception.
Scirra can not boast that they are only 2 people when nothing run round! I will you not dictate over your work. But i think after all this problems (read all the other posts) that a team with more people have make a better work! And yeah, in C2 are a lot of roadworks. But the main Feature runs not normal!!!!! The compiler! And thats the Big Bang in a gameEngine!!!!!!
OK, this is my last post. I Think the right people have read it here.
I talked here complete naked over my plans and what i have make the last years. In the Video you can hear my realname and and and. Thats not my plan but when i have only one kid or his father assured that they dont buy this software, i have my mission complete here!
PS: The Smartphone-problem is not new. I am very suprised i see the lot of many postings about this!
Over and Done
