  • The United States of America will destroy the internet! I involuntarily support this by paying my taxes. <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • The rep points made me do it...   <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    Had this acct for about 2 years, but don't post much. I go by deebee on this and a couple other forums. Go by sportyeight everywhere else.

    Playing around with Construct is fun, but I've yet to actually come up with a full blown game idea. Oh, well. Maybe soon.

  • So you can't afford ?1.66 a month? That's what it works out to. Besides you can still then use it - you just won't get updated?

    I know, right? There's people complaining about something that costs less than what their grandmother probably spends annually for her knitting hobby.

    Like I said before, still one of the cheapest hobbies to have. And if you make a business out of it, deduct the expense from your taxes.

  • I would be happy to support Scirra with a payment of ?150 etc but only if i actually owned the software after that. With subscriptions it just seems like a large donation with bonuses but time limited so i actually much prefer the system Clickteam etc use than that idea.

    If you're revenue from using the commercial license was the minimum (?20000/yr) then your Construct 2 related business expense would be at the very most 0.375% of your revenue. The more you make, the smaller that percentage gets. And at least in my country, that expense comes off every year at tax time anyway as a business expense, so it's essentially free.

  • Also, I don't think ?40 is a lot of money for an individual, probably a day's work for most people.?

    To put that in perspective for those in the USA, that's just over 7 hours of work at the minimum wage. Not really a big deal.

    I'd be happy to pay that much. Even at that price, it would still be my cheapest hobby by far.

  • Thanks for the replies, I guess I'll do some digging. I just assumed it was because of Construct because that is the only time it ever shows up.

  • It seems about 90% of the user created construct projects i d/l have, in addition to the main game screen, a smaller window titled Active Movie whose contents is a solid magenta color and produces a very loud white noise.

    Why does this happen?

  • Thanks for the links!

  • If you wanna go 3D, you should check out CYBERMOTION 3D DESIGNER

    http://www.3d-designer.com/

    Best program ive ever used !

    or.......do a google search for sprite sheets......and maybe planes,jets etc.

    If you dont have any luck and you really, really need 3d, get back to me and i will make them for you.

    Is there another link to that? Link seems dead.

  • I've got 4 pc's in the house that all dual boot Ubuntu 10.04.

    2 desktops a laptop and a netbook, no problems.

  • Is it just me, or do those mushroom baddies look....well...let's just say the flesh tones on the stem, a mushroom head and round shapes at the base of the stem kinda contribute to an overall "not for the kiddies" look. I did get a good LOL from it!

    And overall, looks like a nice project!

  • Normally a lurker, but HAD to comment this time!

    but the graphics quality is improving.

    newt Seriously the funniest thing I've seen all week!

    And the "not getting it" in the next post makes it that much better.

  • - The projects tab, why there are always two Application 1 and Application 2?

    Same here, and when I try to close the application from the projects tab, construct crashes, probably because it's confused and already thinks its closed.
