  • This game looks really impressive and considering it is a platformer it pushes that style beyond what I had ever considered possible. Nice!

  • I once had something similar to this on my phone it was endless hours of entertainment XD thankx for sharing !

  • I've never considered this approach even this is really cool.

  • Maybe if you call it something else then you will be all sweet with the IP Infringements. The general idea tho is great and I feel a lot of modern RTS games are straying away from good basic gameplay mechanics in favour of special effects.

    At the end of the day a good RTS needs good gameplay mechanics and it's funny how the originals had that pretty close to spot on and it's just progressed worse not better for the most part. Unit Queues being an exception to this of cause

  • This is so awesum XD thanks heaps for creating this!

  • I wouldn't mind having a go too but yeah I only have a keyboard and mouse hooked up to my machine :s

  • I would love to put together a game that's based on some of those crazy Anime shows out there. They have really great ideas and structures that fun games could be built upon too!

  • I agree the game concept definitely could be achieve in Construct 2 though if gameplay were to be extended to multi-player it would be a little harder to create without a lot of extra work and know-how.

  • There is a sound package being developed on Kickstarter called Adaptive Music. It's only just popped up today and has a pretty ambitious goal of letting the user grab blocks of sound and set them to play in such a way that the music seamlessly flows from 1 style to another whilst keeping a general melodic theme.

    Check out the link below to support the projects' development or just have a bit of a lookie-loo :

    The pledge levels are rather low considering the potential rewards once the campaign gets fully funded ^ ^

  • Hi,

    Glad that you were able to follow the progress of research I was doing into this field using C2.

    In the end, I found a great solution using a hybrid of 2 other pieces of software to achieve great results. I plan on integrating C2 content using iframes to future websites for "game" oriented interactivity and will use the other software for the primary website construction.

    Both software were very inexpensive (fifty AUD each) and are a great companion to C2.

    The first piece of software is called WYSIWYG Web Builder. There are a lot of imitation web builders out there but the 1 that has it exactly like I wrote it was the 1 I downloaded. You don't have to even buy it really... you can use another WYSIWYG website creation software that's open source called KompoZer 0.7.7

    I used that initially to delete the blueprints from out of my pages once I was happy with their layout.

    Then for interactive panels where I wanted small file size (google crawable) content.. I added iframe elements and used

    Hippo HTML Animator   to produce this content.

    Hippo exported an animation that I tried to replicate using adobe flash and other SWF compilers as well in the long journey to find it at the smallest file size out of them all.

    Using adobe and other flash exporters for the swf format .. I was able to produce a 214kb file

    Using another HTML 5 animation software Quicker SWF Animator, I produced a 6 MB file

    Using Hippo, I produced a 202kb file. I shocked me that it was slightly smaller than the SWF equivalent.

    Anyway, hippo is still young in it's development but has a very active dev and community backing it which was helpful to me. If you're doing a single project, I'd recommend just grabbing a demo of it from their site and building the basic animation / interactive content with this.. you get 30 days before it becomes useless so if you're a fast worker, you'll get it all done before you need to even consider buying it should you be so inclined. I was so amazed I just had to own it haha.

    AND... once that's done you can complete the interactivity by taking it above and beyond both of these pieces of software using Construct 2. Together all these 3 pieces of software allow the most creative ... NON-Programmers in the world to generate professional and fast loading content.

    Man I love how technology has allowed all types of people to enter the brave new world of truly interactive web page development!

  • Yeah, maybe if we make a thread to appeal getting some kind of plugin developer's package, those in the community that are working on producing valuable plugins can access a developer set of tools.

  • Ok, that technique works. Is there a way to easily put in a scroll bar or make the content scale as the window scales.

    Lastly, do we know what causes the sand shifting in an earthquake effect and is there a possible fix on the horizon for this?

    thanks so much for helping out with this, it looks much better.. or at least it will if it stops shaking around.

  • I'll give that a shot and let you know how the results are

  • Try Construct 3

  • Ok I just ran into a problem, I tried to place the following as my new Set innerHTML to

    "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Sportstar Screenprinting Tips and Useful Information</span>"

    And I am getting the following error

    Syntax Error Unknown Character   (it has the ; character in "...weight: bold;"

    Once I change that semicolon to a colon, it moves the syntax error back to the second " which appears after the ..... <span styles="font..."

    How can these be avoided as the example I reference is using very similar syntax as shown below :

    "<h3>Formatted text is a breeze</h3>

    <p><img src=""http://www.w3.org/html/logo/badge/html5-badge-h-css3-semantics.png"" align=""left""> <strong>HTML5</strong> is a language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web, and is a core technology of the Internet originally proposed by Opera Software.</p>"

  • I'm not sure if we need to use an actual .css file and somehow point to it in the CSS Style section or if we are able to simply type in CSS content.

    Is there any chances that the shaking problem with the letterbox full screen setting can be fixed?

    Is there a way to have multiple lines of text inside of the DIV and each line could be a different size / colour / font etc some parts centred and some left justified?

    [edit]

    Actually I believe I may have just figured out how to do the different styles/fonts/alignments/colour etc... it's all done using the HTML DIV SET INNER HTML

    then you just use html text formatting

    [EDIT]

    There is also a piece of open source software that will allow you to produce html formatted content that can be placed inside of the DIVs

    This software is WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) so it's great for those of us wanting to avoid scripting and coding wherever possible.

    The software is called : KompoZer

    if you look for them in a google search you will want

    Kompozer .net

    I would give the link but forum rules state that I am not yet allowed to due to my current rep not being over 500 so I do apologise for that.
