  • It is toggled on by default but here's the control list from the itch.io page:

    Controls

    Touch/Mouse:

    Move: Hold left/mid/right

    Magnet Toggle: Tap ScrapBot

    Keyboard:

    Move: WASD

    Magnet Toggle: Space

    Gamepad:

    Move: Left analogue stick

    Magnet Toggle: A

    I'll probably have to add something about the magnet toggle in the dialogue. I was just hoping to avoid it until it was required so I don't overwhelm the player with tutorial text. Maybe my best bet is to disable the toggle until a more appropriate time. What do you think?

  • V0.021

    • Level 2 is now completely playable!
    • Added level complete dialogue to level 1 and 2
    • Added new dialogue triggers
    • Fixed camera zoom

    Awesome work cant wait to see the next ones...

    tarek2 Thanks! Glad to hear that I have helped. Slowly working on the next episode though this one has been difficult to find the time for.

    Very good questions, to vaguely answer: Go as large as your target system specs can handle. When creating mock-ups I'll typically use the target screen size so for most desktop games 1920x1080 works however mobile/tablet is a completely different story as even the ratios can differ greatly.

    Another thing to consider specific to construct is finding the right canvas size for the assets.

    I'll should be able to answer all your questions over the next couple of episodes. However if you do have any more specific questions feel free to email me (contact info at ).

  • It’s taking me a little longer than usual to find the time for editing and VO this week which has put a bit of a delay on episode 3. So to hopefully make up for this, here’s a preview of one of the mock-ups I’ve been working on for episode 4!
