  • Hello,

    I'm really surprised there is no switch in Construct 2, is there a way to do it that is not an ugly if / else if / else if / else if block?

  • A solution would be to print the Construct 2 manual as a pdf and load it on you tablet/e-book. It's pretty complete and easy to read.

  • Yup, I can see the same behaviour on firefox 27 here, and I don't see anything wrong with the events (granted I'm no expert).

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Hello there!

    I'm a database architect, I do game jams with friends since a few months (our site : http://schizokoa.com/ ), sadly, I'm the only programmer of the crew; we've chosen construct 2 so we could share the workload and, hopefully, do better games.

  • Wow, ok then, my next jam should be Construct 2 powered then, thanks for the answers!

  • It's kind of an odd question to ask on the official C2 forums, but after browsing a bit, I'm kinda scarred.

    I am a 48h game jam developer and ,'till now, I worked using my own set of tools. While this is cool, because I have a complete control and understanding of what I do, I feel like loosing time and being limited especially since I can only compile to Linux, OSX and Windows.

    So, I've been looking for a nice little game engine, with a descent price, that can output on smartphone and html5 as well as my usual targets.

    At first look, C2 seemed perfect : really easy to use, expendable through javascript, and above all in my budget range. I played a bit with the free version and was satisfied.

    Yet, here I saw quite a lot of disturbing stuff, so I have a few major concerns:

    • Is the android/iOS export working? I saw countless posts stating they had problems and since I do games with very limited time constraint, I can't afford to loose half a day on a specific platform problem
    • I saw like a weekly war going on about "you should go native", well I'm coming from native and I don't think it's the best idea for hobbyist. Is performances that bad? From my test, it looked more than ok for a wysiwyg game editor.
    • What about gesture support? I saw some documentation about touch and multitouch support, but is there some gesture support built in?
    • The easy to use shaders is one of the strongest point of C2 to me, allowing quickly done effects. On the same idea, I often use some very basic 3D for effects, is it possible to display 3D textured objects? No animation or anything, just basic 3D rotation and display?
    • How is the tool progressing : it seems like updates are coming out often, but as users, do you feel there is progress?
    • And finally : are you happy with your purchase?
