  • I also looked at Unity and started going through some tutorials, but eventually decided it was a bad choice for 2D games. It's possible to do but requires some trickery.

    Messed around with GameMaker a while back and had a lot of fun hacking into Spelunky.

    I also looked at Stencyl because the graphical programming and ease of use seemed great, but decided against it because, well, Flash isn't going to be around much longer.

    And then I ended up finding Construct 2, I don't remember where but probably on Indiegames.com or somewhere like that. After downloading the demo and having a working platformer in a matter of an hour I was pretty much sold. I bought my license a couple weeks ago and have no regrets.

  • For those curious I'm using r95 and it was a Physics behavior that was duplicated.

  • I think I found the problem - some other behaviors originally in the separate objects needed to be shifted to the family, I think there may have been some conflict there.

    Anyways, thanks for the fast response - the program is great and getting better!

  • I am working on a game where objects collide with water and create a splash (i.e. spawn a one-shot particle object).

    Originally I had a single object with the splash behavior, but I wanted other objects to create splashes as well. So I created a "Splash" family and added objects that should splash. I then applied the splash behavior to the family instead of the individual object.

    This was the only change I made, and the splashes work correctly, but the framerate drops to an unplayable level. Works fine when the individual objects have the behavior.

    Any ideas why this would happen? I want to use a family so I don't have to repeat code.
