C-7's Forum Posts

  • Hey everyone! I finally finished and uploaded my entry! It was a lot of fun to make and C3 has matured a lot pretty quickly. Have a playthrough of Trimage over on Newgrounds

    Trimage is a top-down or 3/4 view action game where you wield your character's three magical abilities in addition to three recharging sword strikes. Battle through three environments (plus a tutorial level!) to defeat all who oppose you. This game was developed solo and all audio and graphics are original. I hope you enjoy!

  • Wow thank you guys so much for making this right! I know a lot of us were bummed we would miss out altogether.

    (I also updated the op to reflect the new info)

  • I just exported my last audio track to implement into my game, but it's all for nothing it seems. Tom Any fix? Ashley

  • Back to where we were. The jam license expired 4 hours early. It seems Construct based it on London time while Newgrounds based it on EST. Apparently I won't get to enter after all.

  • The jam license just ended four hours before the end of the jam, so I guess that means I'm out. Would've loved to have finished this thing...

  • Here's my submission:

    It's a tiny RPG with Peggle mechanics. Hope you like it!

    Nice job! I look forward to checking it out at the end of the jam! (Still gotta work on my own entry!)

  • They said on Twitter it's a bug in the countdown. It's counting down to the start of the last day and not the end of the last day.

    So false alarm, the jam continues.

  • I second this! I simply can't submit of I don't have at least tonight to finish.

  • I would actually start with C2. You can import your project into C3 later but not the other way around. And, while I like C3 a lot, it's still missing some stuff and has some bugs that are getting ironed out. In the near future? I'm sure C3 will be the answer. Right now? C2.

  • Hello team, the access to the full features of construt3 for newgrounds game jam are already exhausted? Can not you use the gamejam theme any more now?

    C3 says May 27th on startup. One more week!

    EDIT - For clarification, it's going on through the 28th.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Hi, this will be my first game jam and just had a question. One of the rules states "Your game must not contain unlicensed audio / music." Does this mean I can use any music I want? I know that doesn't sound right so I was just looking for some clarification.

    This means the creator of any audio or music must have given you express permission to use their content. This could mean you paid for it for use in a project and to distribute it. No, buying a track on amazon or itunes doesn't count--that is a playback license, not a distribution or creative use license. This could also mean you got it from a free asset site that explicitly states you may use that content as part of your project. It could also mean you created all of your own audio assets.

    So this means don't steal other people's work and represent it as your own unless they told you you could or that you could use it and give them proper credit.

  • Yes, in the layout settings for that layout (on the left side of the C2 editor), you need to set "Unbounded Scrolling" to Yes. Otherwise, it will keep the viewport within the boundaries of the layout.

  • In case you missed it, new blog post!

  • Does anyone know if there's some kind of requirement for entry or do we just need to make a newgrounds account and submit?

    I imagine we'll get more details at the start of the jam, but presumably that's it.

  • Due to the mishap last night with license timing,

    there's now a grace period to get your stuff done and uploaded! Uploads are due at noon London time on May 30, so that's 7am for East coast America, 3am for West coast. Get finished here: Construct 3.

    As a bonus, the full version of C3 is unlocked for the rest of the week! Big thanks to the Construct team for making this right! I'm sure they awoke a little unpleasantly this morning.

    There's a new blog post with some more basics:

    Hopefully you read about it in the blog, right? As was previously announced, Scirra/Construct Team are co-hosting a game jam with Newgrounds using Construct 3. So far, and correct me if I'm wrong, we know the theme and some of the prize pool (free C3 licenses for a year the top three games).

    The theme:

    Good Things Come in Threes

    It starts Monday, May 15th and will run for two weeks. Submissions are due May 28th!

    What are you guys and gals' thoughts? Like the theme? Any neat ideas for it (you don't have to share them!)? Are you planning on participating? Solo or team effort? Are you looking for a team?

    I'm pretty sure I'm doing the jam this time around... I've actually never done a Construct jam before. I've been trying to brainstorm some ideas for the theme--it's a tough one for me. I do plan on making sound and music important elements to the experience since this longer timeline really facilitates that. I haven't decided on my overall idea or even gameplay type, so hopefully something really good comes to mind by Monday. I'm also excited to have the limitations lifted in C3!
