  • Let's call it "Botox Viagra." Those seem to be really popular search terms on Google. It's like free advertising.

    I probably just called every spambot for miles around to this thread, huh?

  • If C2 had vector graphics capabilities I'd never use them because doing vector graphics (and doing them well) is a pain in the ass.

    And if for some reason I did want to do vector stuff for the web I'd just go back to using Flash, because that's what Flash does. No reason to reinvent the wheel. Especially since Flash has perfected that particular wheel. You can't really expect a small, open-source project run by two guys in their spare time like C2 to compete directly with Adobe in the vector graphics department, especially by implementing it as an afterthought. Making a game editor that exports to HTML5 is already a pretty tall order!

    I've always thought that realtime vector animation for the web was a really dumb idea anyway. It just doesn't make sense. It's too CPU intensive. Compression on raster images has always been miles ahead of vector art. Vector art should be used in static design software, and vector animation should be rendered to video similarly to hi-res 3D. I really have no idea why Macromedia didn't just make Flash a raster-based program to begin with.

    The only benefit to using vectors is that they're scalable, and raster images don't scale well. When you compare that to all of the benefits raster images get you, there really isn't any comparison at all.

    Just my two cents I guess.

    TL;DR: I'd be happy if Flash died a horrible, agonizing death, and took Newgrounds with it.

  • This is sexy as hell.

  • This is really nicely made, congrats .

  • Mediafire is pretty tight, too.

    UGH GROSS

  • There's no need to bump your own thread. It hasn't even been a day yet.

    If you want people to be interested in your thread, perhaps you should tell them what the game is about and post a screenshot. People don't tend to download stuff unless they have some idea about what it is.

    Also, get Dropbox. Megaupload is terrible.

  • A game might be mouse-only or keyboard-only, and adding both would be overkill. In either case the other isn't needed.

    Also what if you want to make a simulation or an example that doesn't need input? Or a banner thing for the top of your web page? There are a few reasons why you wouldn't need mouse or keyboard.

  • It doesn't . The star background and the spinning gear animation in the menu are way cheesy. I like the clean design of the scirra.com front page a whole lot more.

  • The editor will be Windows only. It won't run on Wine, at least not yet. That's up to the people who develop Wine.

  • I think it's kind of "semi-official." The people that run it aren't really members of Scirra, but they did make the Construct show reel and the graphics on the front page of scirra.com.

  • I really hope this isn't a request for pirated software. We don't do that here.

    And if this is a request for someone to buy it for you then I'd have to ask... who are you? Why should someone just buy some software and send it to you?

  • Here I fixed it for you:

  • I don't know if you know but your images aren't showing up. You might want to use a direct url to the images instead of that php stuff.

  • No it was just a very sneaky helicopter.

  • Awesome, no more Family Trick .
