Basic top down shooter with a lot of enemies. Yeah, I know.

That's quite ordinary !

The thing is that I had never been close to finish a Construct 2 project. So I'm working on a very simple game in order to see its end.

Because I don't want to do complicated things, it is inspired by Crimsonland. If you don't know it, try it. Amazing game.

Well, you can try the current state of my project here : http://canapin.com/construct/scarletland/07/

arrow keys or ZQSD to move the player, left click to shoot.

A lot of work to do :

Having a better enemy behavior so they won't tend to group themselve while chasing the player

Set up a base gameplay : enemy attacks, player HP

Local co-op (with gamepad)

And stuff I don't know yet.

Seems like a good start (nice weapon dynamics - the sort-of BFG is quite neat).

Are you pasting those gibs onto canvas or is it all sprites for now?

Also the ZQSD controls will be quite terrible for most of the world (I found myself using recoil to move, heh).

Ah yeah sorry, I should have used WASD but I'm on a french keyboard . But the arrow keys also work.

I paste the gibs on the canvas. By the way, their resolution is very bad (they became kind of blurry) when they are pasted. I don't know why. If you have an idea…

Great Action!

Would be better when can use WSAD for controll (typical Action-Game-Controlling)

Those lasers feel really good, looking forward to see what you come up with!

That was actually pretty fun. I used the arrow keys.

Thank you.

I want a really dynamic gameplay so I spend most of my time on this kind of effects.

I'm currently working on the gibs system : http://canapin.com/construct/tests/gibs/ because I want a lot of jumping meat.

Very good feeling you've got. Keep it up!

This looks really promising and has got a real good feel already Good job!

I also like your gib-system, do you mind to share the Capx with me?

No problem <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> I've updated it today. Now with blood (a lot).

See it in action : http://canapin.com/construct/tests/gibs/

Do ctrl-F5 on this url http://canapin.com/construct/tests/gibs/c2runtime.js if it displays the older version with purple rectangles.

It requires the LiteTween behavior by Lunarray : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/553 ... etween.zip

There is no comment inside the file but I think it's pretty simple to understand. Most of the events are used to set random or partially random various values.

The only "important" thing to know is that each gib instance in construct 2 (in the layout tab) MUST have a 1:1 scale. If it doesn't, the second tween behavior won't work as espected and the animation will be glitchy.

If you need to resize it, do it inside an event like I did (on gibs created -> gibs set scale to 0.2)
