  • Yeah, few people want to update wiki because Construct keeps changing some things... well... the real reason is we are lazy.

  • 1. Typos?

    2. Controls?

    Didn't get past the player select screen because for the life of poor me I couldn't figure the controls out.

  • 1. Create a sprite

    2. Name it Mask

    3. Add "Erase" effect to it

    4. Doodle in the sprite (a smiley or something)

    5. Right click the Mask, Order, To Front (this will bring it in front of other sprites)

    6. Tick "Force own texture" in layer properties

    7. Move the Mask over other sprites and glee.

    Nothing wrong with using layers, though. They cost nothing

  • For RPGs? I don't know... I typed in 'sword' and it returned keys... What am I supposed to do, slash enemies with keys?

  • I'm pretty sure it is possible. Just be aware of the Z-ordering; mask has to always be above sprite.

  • Maximum game size is 250 MB. If you can do that in Assembly, kudos to you.

  • Seems it's gone live.

    It has uses for game development... want to find an EXP curve for your RPG? Type in various equations. Hmm.

  • Yes, it is a recently launched site. I believe Construct needs to be put into proper categories, I've posted a request for Prototyping Tool and Open Source classification. Oh, and 2D.

  • Just dropping this link here... http://indiegametools.com/construct/

    One of the team might want to post something or such, nudge the entry into proper categories. And if we can get some more votes in to ensure it ranks high in key categories, we'll get more traffic as people start to check the ranking site out. It's early, hit the iron while it is still hot.

  • I guess he's still waiting for Gmail to come out of beta, too?

  • Nominated for Gamer and Developer categories. As I checked the latest nominations, however, I noticed that there were a couple projects appearing recurrently. After I examined them, they were minor specialized projects that don't fill all those categories, which leads me to believe that they are cheating to get the most nominations possible.

    Luckily (at least I would hope I hope so), the jury would review the nominations and only escalate the valid and fair entries. Still, it leaves a bitter feeling to see that people would cheat in things like this with bots and get-your-granny-and-her-cat-with-their-friends-to-vote stuff.

    So, yeah.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • If you want to be selective, you can just move objects to a certain layer with an effect and then out when you don't need the effect anymore. You can juggle with many layers!

  • I am so glad that the guy doesn't read "retro" as "boxy pixels".

  • Hmm, in a few cases the problem was solved by installing/extracting to another location. Especially when you normally extract your stuff in restricted/secure folders; system partitions can be problematic, too (I installed Construct on Windows 7 partition and it spat error out, then I reinstalled it onto non-system partition and it works great.)

    Or extract to desktop, the user should have all permissions there.

  • Yeah, it works now, however that poses a question of convenience; would players have to download those optional redistributables as well in order to play the Construct games?
