  • I have no clue. The games they sell are mostly C++ that will except the SDK.

    That said, I would look for more of the smaller on-line publishers that sell he little games. You will not make a 1 time sell but share in the revenue every time some one makes a purchase. Then again you can always start your own site.

    What kind of time frame are you looking at? Do you have a full featured game finished?

  • Gridiron!

    An Amiga physics-based sports simulation. it only had colored dots for players, but in my opinion played better than any Madden Game. I loved passing, as the play ran you put you cursor to there you wanted to though and released. Just like REAL football.

    Oh and the crowd noise increased as good plays developed

  • I coded a strategy game in Game Maker where the hero was not trying to beat the demon but just escape its keep. The demon made decisions based on the hero's condition (Health, Stamina, Defenses, Attacks, and Will Power.) So yes I guess I do use AI.

    As a side note I have in in my plans to rewrite the game in Construct to see the how well it converts. It might be interesting to see how Construct adapts to such a code heavy game. I am expecting well since I can now use the power of objects. If Will Power is lower than Defense use mind attack.

    In fact I want to convert a lot of my GM game to construct to compare.

    The tough decision will be do I want to pay the $25 to upgrade to GM8 for a better idea of how they match up and which program is better for what purpose.

  • Here you go. I added no stick spray. LOL Actually I used a normal sprite instead of the tiled background.

    Construct v.099.84

    Also noticed that you do not need solid on your Jump Guy

    Oops PixelRebirth already noticed the tiled background.

  • All images take up as much VRAM as the smallest power of 2 size they fit in. Each of your 1280x720 images are acting like 2048x2048 with most of that being empty space. Bad idea.

    Wouldn't that be 2048x1024?

  • Maybe just wait till 1.0 comes out?

  • Christ, calm down, you wanted people's opinions, you're getting them, don't have a heart attack about it.

    I didn't yell, re-read my post. I just commented that this is a high score post.

    But WOW you seem stressed! LOL Having a bad day Lost my Keys?

  • Everyone seems to like achievements, but once you get your achievement you are done. High scores can go on indefinitely. Faster time, more kills, people saved, complex scores like skill minus damage.

    But hey this is not an achievement vs High Score debate like every one seems to be posting. This topic is High Score only. Besides you can have high scores and achievements in a game. Right So why are you pushing achievements?

  • Would you want a fully featured High Score Object added to Construct?

    The thing I miss most from Game Maker was the very nice high score board. I wish someone would make an Object that held 10 names and scores sorted in high or low order( by selection). Any other suggestions for this?

  • I wouldn't use the object because I would rather spend the extra time and make one that is personalized, if I were going to do one at all.

    Well the one in Game Maker was Great and did everything I ever wanted in a high score board. Can't ask more than that.

  • The thing I miss most from GM was the very nice high score board. I wish someone would make an Object that held 10 names and scores sorted in high or low order( by selection).

    I know you can make a single ini high score easily, or maybe even one with linked lists, but GM did it so well I wonder why we do not have one?

    I am sure this owuld be a VERY popular Object.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I was just going by you post R0J0hound:

    "Python access to global or private variables is currently broken, but here's a few related fixes that hopefully can be put into the next release:"

    Nice to know it works. Mean time I should have my python skill up and running really soon!

    cheers!

  • Wow lots of questions. Maybe too many?

    Here is my suggestion. Start small. Make a simple easy game that you know exactly what to do. trust me you will still have questions and problems.

    The reason I am suggesting that you start small is there are may hidden pit falls with construct, especially so with mid sized and larger projects.

    You project seems REALLY cool but I would start smaller. Best of luck!!

    Nice GUI BTW

  • > Last time I heard, Python in Construct is very weak/limited and need's alot of improvement's.

    >

    When was the last time you heard? And have you been listening since then?

    Looks like it still is not running as of March 4th. Global Variables are broke.

    I am excited to try to use Python and bought a book on it. I am half done and just started Objects so I hope to be up to speed soon.

    Lucky for me none of my Construct projects need Python.

    Compared to GM where all my games were 90%(plus) GML. I do not think you can make a great game on GM with out GML.

    I hope that the python will be fixed for Construct 1.0, I am really want to give it a try.
