  • I played Audiosurf and found it boring.

    I'm alone in the world

  • There's always the Steam route. But then again, what about security? How does one integrate with the Steam API?

    :O should we make a Steam plugin?

    anyways. 115FPS and I see some Moire :O

  • These filters are run on source images to bump the resolution.

    They're slow and they don't make sense if you've already scaled the source material (as neighboring pixels will change so will inferred slope), so it's not a good idea to implement them as a shader.

    That said, they ARE a nice thing to have. Perhaps as an action? (duplicate frame/animation resolution with 2xSaI, etc) or better yet in the IDE?

  • Loving the sound.

    You could add bone-animated walking feet under the guy

    Remember to destroy particles once they go offscreen / offlayout

  • Well... here's a thing you can feed or it'll die.

    Age in the corner, hunger bar.

    I couldn't change between the happy/sad faces, couldn't think of a quick way.

  • Hummm I just did that :s

    I want a particle emitter with a certain bitmap shape, a certain color ramp (multipoint) and a certain opacity ramp (multipoint) AND a certain SIZE ramp (multipoint too). Also, randomization of emission time (and random angle and speed, which are already in the particle behavior)

    Easiest way to have it fall realistically was to give it physics... I turned off the collision mask, would that still make it slow?

    Btw will we be able to resize physics objects later? or will it still be a problem? :s right now it makes construct crash (I'm piling up them bug reports!)

  • ragdoll = physical simulation of a rigged character.

    I think you just need rigging

  • ...when you run over something, it can put them all back in place take a picture, and delete them all again.

    What 3D Katamari did is discard the inner objects that have been covered by outer ones.

    We could define size stages, when crossing the treshold discard objects not from the previous stage but the one before that, composite in canvas with the old canvas composite and draw with the objects from the previous stage.

    You'd always have a somewhat blurred canvas center covered with sharp newer objects.

    These newer objects are the ones that can be discarded on crashing. If you keep crashing there comes a time when nothing else can fall off.

    I like this but I don't think I have the time for it :s

  • never had trouble with nesting either. colors could make it harder to read.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • People complained that Farenheit was too linear, but then again that's the very definition of story driven.

    There were a few (2 or 3) adventure games that had AI that let NPCs go about their own business on their own time. They were impressive, but also very hard and slow to play, as you had to wait on NPCs because they were busy like getting groceries or whatever O_o

    sounded good on paper, not so good when played, I guess.

  • Unless you have as many chips as there are neurons in the human brain, which is around 10 - 100 billion. Got that many cores on your Athlon?

    *Counts fingers slowly...*

    *beaming* Yes!!

  • fixed framerate with frameskip, doesn't slow down nor speed up, at least not if the slowdown is caused by rendering. Calculates logic for each passed game tick, sometimes more than one in a row (cause that's what frameskip is).

    Notice the choppyness. Do some interpolation to get rid of it. Your graphics will always be between 1 and 0 logic ticks ahead of your game logic.

  • We should have a katamari challenge

    Btw lol at getting stuck between two platforms >_<

  • Any thoughts on widescreen?

    :s

    Also, wouldn't setting positions like that break all behaviors?

    btw the more I delve into Construct I find it more flexible

  • uh you could calculate the mean center (ponderating by volume) of everything and then displace the physics ball's center halfways from the true ball's center and make the ellipse deform accordingly.

    Also, let the objects pick up other objects but ONLY if they're within a set distance of the physics ball (to avoid center to shift excessively to one side). That's what the 3D Katamari did. Also, allow long shaped objects to affect movement, like lamp posts, because they'll probably stick out. Have them in a family or something.

    I want to play this btw
