  • Hi guys, first of all, thank you for all your comments and suggestions.

    I've uploaded a new version of the demo. Just check the updated first post of this thread for the download link.

    New features:

    • Freeze Ray ? Freezes enemies. Once frozen you can smash them to kill them instantly.
    • Splitting Bullets
    • Arc Lightning Gun ? Lightning jumps randomly from enemy to enemy damaging them
    • Familiars ? Kinda like mini helpers that shoot enemies that are near
    • Mortar Launcher
    • Rocket Launcher
    • A power-up that could slow or reverse the movement of the clock
    • Force Field
    • New sprites
    • New effects
    • Better controls
    • Scoring System
    • HUD is now on the screen displaying number of bullets as well as health
    • Improved and cleaner graphics

  • I've played this before and it is surprisingly addicting. You need to play it to appreciate it. The paid version is actually the latest release (I think they call it the Alpha build. Can't remember). You can play the previous version for free, both Single Player and Multiplayer.

    Multiplayer is cool because you can collaborate with other people on building other stuff. ^_^

  • Ah, so that's how it is. Thanks a lot R0j0Hound!

  • Oh, does one need to install Python first? I thought it was already built within Construct.

    Sorry. I still haven't read the documentation about Python Scripting yet since I didn't have any use for it on my current game. Will review it once I have the time.

    Thanks

  • Many thanks for this one! I've spent days trying to track down the cause of the crash on my game. I eventually narrowed it down to one line, a line that spawns the bullet, and I had no idea what was causing the problem!

    Again, many thanks!

    I have a question though. What if I want to have scripts on my game? Does this mean I can't use scripts anymore?

  • W00t! Construct FTW!

  • Can I recast my vote? I voted for a web browser platform, but after reading the opinions of the other members, I am thinking of favoring the Android platform.

  • DravenX, why what's wrong with Lifehacker? Really don't know.

  • Very very helpful! Thanks for this one!

  • I have this PS3 controller hooked up to my PC to play games using a program called DS3 tool. It works like a charm but to my disappointment couldn't be used on Construct.

    I know there's a plugin for the XBOX360 contoller. But what about for the PS3 Controller? Will there be plans for such a thing?

    Thank you cheers!

  • I've only messed around with window resizing in one project

    but from what I can tell, the best solution is to have your game start at the very max resolution you will want it to be at

    then immediately switch to the starting resolution

    then when you switch resolutions it won't pixelate or blur

    Oh yeah, that could help. Unfortunately, my art assets are already fixed. If I don't find an alternative solution I might do this. Thanks lucid!

    I still recommend using "Set display size" (because of some unsuspected behaviors of the window object).

    Hi tulamide, I've tried that when I read it before but it wasn't working. Particularly the zooming. Might try it again, and see what would happen.

  • Hi guys,

    I have this game that has a Window Width and Height of 800px. I want to be able to change the window size to 600x600 and 1000x1000 at the click of a button.

    I tried using the Window object and "set size" to 600x600. Unfortunately, the output showed pixelation and scraggy edges. I searched the forums and some said to changed the Sampling to point and text rendering to aliased, but still no luck.

    How can I change the window without pixelation? Thanks!

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Looking at your cap gave me some ideas for visuals on my next game. Thanks a lot!

  • Very nice tutorial! I've been meaning to create a fighting game!

  • With construct you can make any 2d game. Yes, something like Farmville.

    However, Farmville is of a different platform. I think it's flash (never played it) In other words, it is a browser game. While Construct created games are executable which needs to be downloaded.
