  • Just played through it. That was an interesting mash-up of the two games.

    Happy New Year to you too!

  • Hello!

    I mentioned in another post or two around here that I am a new user of C3. I set out to make a Christmas game over the past 4 days to try it out and see how I like it. I had done just a tiny bit of experimenting with C2 & C3 a month or two back. Normally I don't like visual / GUI-based programming and engines and much prefer to just program by typing in code. Been doing it that way for decades. lol

    BUT when I tested C2 & C3 there was just something different about them. For the first time ever a visual tool seemed highly logical.

    And now after making this game in a short period of time I am even more impressed with Construct 3 than I was previously and can definitely say I absolutely like it.

    Anyway enough rambling... here is my first Construct 3 game.

    You can play it right in your web browser over at GameJolt.

    The game has been updated slightly and reuploaded to GameJolt at the link above and is also now available for browser play at itch.io

  • Looks interesting the large enemies look particularly cool.

    Best of luck with it on Steam!

  • Thank you very much!

    I kept thinking it would be some system level thing but never even crossed my mind to look for a Browser object.

    It will take a bit to switch to this paradigm of everything in fact being web / browser technology yet also still being a plug-in.

    Anyway, I already had the Condition so just added the object and action and indeed it works! :)

  • Hello. I just started using Construct 3 a couple days ago. I'm making a tiny Christmas game to try it out.

    Not much done yet of course. Mainly just knocked out some graphics and spent time working in the editor getting the layouts and layers and so forth set up. Then got the basics going on for control and such.

    At this point I now need to stop and actually design the game. The stuff in so far is just what I knew I would need at a general level.

    Anyway, here is what I have so far...

    Ahhh... I had made a couple of gifs and uploaded to my normal hosting (imgur) but doesn't seem to be a way to embed those in the posts here. lol

    I will see about posting a video at some point and maybe setting up an account at giphy too.

    In the meantime, I just took a couple of screenshots.

    Meet Jimmy Christmas Cube...

  • OOPS! Sorry I just realized I should have posted this in the "How Do I..." forum. If a mod wants to move it over there that'd be awesome.

    Hello.

    I am very new user of Construct. Tried it out a couple of days and just paid the subscription for Construct 3 today.

    My background... I have been making games as a hobby for a long time (since C64 days lol) and typically I just program everything myself.

    Doing it with programming it is simple... but I cannot find anything on how to close the Windows desktop game application when the player presses the Esc key.

    I am thinking surely it has to be supported. I mean there must be some way to do it we cannot force people to use task manager to close them down. LOL!

    So... how do you do it? :)

    Thank you very much for taking your time to read and help me out.

  • Hello! I probably can't help on specific questions and things you might be looking for feedback on because I only just started seriously using C3 a couple of days ago.

    Today I purchased the 1 year subscription. Reason I chose C3 is I played around a bit with both C2 & C3 and it made sense to me to just go with C3 because I am guessing this is the one that will be moving forward faster AND because I found this thread and downloaded the desktop version.

    Honestly if it hadn't been for this desktop version I would have either went with Construct 2 or nothing. I know in this age everyone wants web stuff but I personally do not like it.

    Especially for doing development work it just seems really weird to me although I know Construct is hardly the one development software that is using this route.

    Anyway, I am very thankful you made this desktop downloadable version. And I have run into 0 problems working in it. I mean sometimes there might be some minimal thing like focus is lost or something. The normal stuff that happens in anything. No software is perfect so I have no unrealistic expectations for this to be. That is unreasonable. I have not ran into any real bugs as in things that simply are not working for me or crashes or anything like that.
