  • One easy way to make the camera pan ahead towards where the player is facing (just like cave story)-- without even using any math is to set the magicam to follow an invisible sprite which is always set to the proper X co-ordinates in relationship to the player sprite.

  • Looks awesome. And don't worry Funny Guy, nobody can ever get tired of space.

    People can get tired of 1st levels with green grass and blue skies though-- but space? There's so much you can do with it.

  • Everyone else does such a good job of pointing out cool looking games, I thought I would contribute. There's this cool looking game called FEZ...

    Check out this gameplay video.

    What I'm really curious about is do you think something like this could be made in construct using the the 3d box?

  • I say Minitroid!

    But definitely the most time I have spent playing any Construct game has got to be Towerclimb.

  • I am just upset that many links (particularly drop-box links) are all gone-- but I assume (or I hope) that is something that will be fixed soon, once this switch over process is complete. <img src="smileys/smiley29.gif" border="0" alt="Wacko" title="Wacko" />

  • I know construct can't handle any sort of "advanced" online multiplayer-- but it seems like it could handle split screen game or even some sort of co-op gauntlet style game where everyone is in the room looking at the same screen-- I just was curious if there are any games like that out there!

  • Have you seen UberLou's fighter tutorials? There is some really great info on hitboxes in them.

  • Hey I understand it can be difficult finding stuff in this forum--

    Here are 3 examples made specifically for what you want to do--

  • I'm really digging this. It seems most random terrain generators always only generate caves so this is cool.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Shouldn't he just be using time delta?

  • I have also been working on something very similar-- a sort of virtual terrarium-- yes? I personally have just been using custom movement behavior and creating boxes that I can set to invisible of varying sizes that are always set to the x and y of each creature to mimic line of sight-- I find it more useful for actually seeing at what point a creature will flea or attack--

    To actually get it to seem like the creatures are "thinking" I recommend using private variables-- hundreds if you need to-- variables for how hungry they are, how much energy they have before they need to sleep, how safe they feel-- just for everything, and then make them behave based on what that variable is!

  • Thats so cool! That looks like the kind of effect they used on the sky in symphony of the night! Very impressive!

  • You can pick an object by creating a condition for picking an object--

  • When an enemy from a particular nest is killed, you can subtract 1 from the nest it spawned from so it goes back to 0 and spawns again--

    in order to effectively do this though, you will have to learn about picking!

  • Out of curiosity, are you using the 64 color palette of the NES? Because if that's the case, it is looking very nice!
