Hello: I am in need of a mapping answer :).
Prerequisites:
I am using Game-Map Generator from GraphicRiver.net for Photo Shop. $15
Outstanding script plugin. Now then:
====================================
I create my game map. Oversized say: 2560 x 1920.
Then down size it to 1280 x 960. In case I would like to expand it.
Export {save} it as a .PNG file as maybe 16bit.
It is then used as a Sprite in Construct 2 for use a Game Map.
OK, now you have the gist of what I am doing.
----------------------------------------------
[Q] Is it wise to bring in that map as a sprite object?
[Q] Will it use up too much time loading? (there will be several used)
[Q] Will it consume too much resource(s) and cause the game to eventually
Fail?
The game will be used at first on a PC & or MAC. But PC for right now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you so much for you time and thought.
