  Have a look at the primary screen resolution in the steam hardware survey, to get an idea at least.

  The good thing about Construct is that you can change the display resolution during runtime, I'm designing my game to work with any screen resolution (will look best on 2560 x 1600 resolution screen, and still look reasonable at 800 x 600).

  The 'For'/'For Each' looping conditions are much better - they read better, and run faster. You should use them instead!

  Is this true of Construct 1 as well?

  I don't think there is an easy way to do it?

  Maybe look at this topic. Might help, I havn't read it though.

  Think they're going to still have a free version of it...

  Thanks for the examples, I think I'm starting to understand how it will be useful for me.

  I'm still trying to understand where to apply timedelta. Instead of having to apply it to so many things, can I just have an event which is "every millesecond" then have tons of events under that event as sub-events? Since the every [time] conditions are affected by timescale, can't I just put everything under an event like that?

  1. To make position stop lagging: Swap your include event sheets around (make weapons appear after general). Because your weapons were positioning themselves (on old coordinates) before you set positions of the body in the general sheet.

  2. Don't know what you mean about them colliding itself, but I also don't think you should be using physics on bullets. Just use custom movement behaviour.

  Trailer soon!

  I've kept you guys waiting quite a bit, so I've decided to start putting together a teaser trailer.

  Interesting. Don't understand the stuff you added to the string with right click though?

  I had an issue with sprites bluring at runtime (and text not being aliased), but when I changed to a proper display resolution it was all crisp and working as it should. If you're having issues only when sprites move, maybe try changing to point sampling, or make sure the sprites are always with integer positions?
