How do I include different game types in a project?

Hello all!

I am an amateur programmer but a complete noob when it comes to using Construct. What an awesome platform for easily creating games!

My current project is to create a side-scrolling platform shooter. I would like to include levels that involve a basic driving / racing simulator (similar to an NES racer) as well as an RPG-style single-screen boss fight (similar to Pokemon RPG style.)

Each level will be independent of the other levels. Like having completely different games on different levels. I don't plan on any player stats or information carrying over to the next level necessarily.

I've been working on the side-scroller with help from tutorials and demo projects.

My question : Can I have different game types on different levels?

i.e. Level 1 is a side-scroller. Level 2 is a basic racing game. Level 3 is a boss battle in the style of an RPG.

If this isn't the right way to use Construct, is there a way I can achieve this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Yes, you can do this by using separate Layouts and Event Sheets for each level.

Thank you for this information!

Also wondering: If I create multiple different game projects, can I combine them into one project at the end to put them together? So they all become a single game?

You could, but it would require some extra work. So it's better to keep it within single project from the start, instead of combining them later.
