  • Ok ... I will read that tutorial. Thanks for informations. Actually , after I played your game ( that is very fun ), I was thinking of making something similar ... a drone that can carry objects ... but with a more simple control of it. Good luck on making games !

    Drop me a note when you have something to show..really like the 3d robot in your game, be cool to see what you come up with

  • The game uses the "PHYSICS" behavior

    Here is where i got started learning about how to implement it.

    https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/64/phy ... the-basics

    In my game the ship has the physics behavior, when you press a key, it applies a force in a direction to make it fly, or turn .

    If you go to your file menu in Construct 2 and click "NEW", you can choose a whole series of example programs starting with "Physics Basics" and others that explain forces, impulse, joints etc.

    These all helped me to get going with physics.

    I look forward to seeing something like your cool 3d robot flying around

    Hope this helps

  • Nice Game. I am curious how you made the control system of the ship, maybe you can drop here a screenshot.

    What part of the ship control do you mean? The little animated guy?

  • UPDATE Game tutorial levels

    1st attempt at making tutorial levels for people who are having difficulty piloting the ship. If you tried this game and couldnt stop crashing try the first level tutorial...did it help?

    All input much appreciated.

  • Hi,

    The little space guy 's head in my game explodes when he crashes (dies). Its not particularly graphic. Do i need a plus 18 rating for this? I don't want my game banned so i listed it as "adult content".

    Have a look and let me know your thoughts.

  • Update :

    Made a few new graphics to replace placeholders...new "cave grass", new "Stalactite" new cave slime...also simplified level 3 and 4.

  • Mulling over some story ideas...maybe have chores assigned by "MOTHER" who may or may not turn out to be an supercomputer protecting you because you are the last human on earth...Maybe a tv screen with a little video segments... thinking

  • Update 1.4.1

    Fuels gauge shows red when at 1/4 tank. Level two shortened...just go up and left to land...level 3 shortened, up left down. Can anyone make it to level 4?

    What is the hardest parts of these levels?

    When and how do you die?

    Let me know...will try and make it more playable...many thanks

  • UPDATE!

    I redid level 2 to make it a bit more reasonable...took out blocks that you have to push over...will make that a feature later on, Fixed the fuel bar moving past full, have to fix the low fuel animation, after day job <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">.

    Anyway, yall see if you can make it to level three, trying to balance the game. Level 2 starts with full fuel, i have it set up so there is that option(auto refueling)...we shall see.

    Any and all input much appreciated

  • tis actually pretty adicting! the bkg tutorials are cool too.

    call me a lightweight, but whattabout autorefuel it each level? :S

    You know...i used to start each level with full fuel...kind think it is a challenge to have to remember to pick up fuel...

    I dont know yet...anybody else have an opinion on this?

  • So i redid the first level to make it a bit simpler I hope. Also added some BG images to show some of the controls. Let me know if you can make it to level 2. Many thanks!

  • Thanks PerryCullo...i love simulation games, so it is all physics based.

  • Named a HighScore table on the arcade to MAML then referenced it like in the picture below in the program on my game over page.

    I had trouble finding the submit a score control until i put it under a "At start of layout"..Helpful ? (also sent pm of this).

  • I am working on some better instructions, like a kind of flight school for the first level...i really appreciate the input megalocrator.

    Some tips to try....

    1.try just flying straight up a bit by holding the "up" button for a second.

    2.Just "TAP" the right and left keys to rotate the ship in the direction you want to go.

    I think alot of people hold the controls down too longand it does get out of control pretty quick.

    ANYWAY...yep too hard...gonna do a better tutorial on the first level and hopefully more people will be able to play.

    Many thanks!

  • Hi Everyone,

    I entered my lander game in the Underground Jam at:

    https://www.scirra.com/arcade/undergrou ... -2317?cp=2

    This is a prototype with 10 levels and an very unexciting ending. I would really appreciate you trying it out and letting me know if it is playable, too hard, too easy, too boring etc.

    All critical input welcome...really!

    Many thanks,
