    I'm not joining to win and i figure my chance of winning is vary small. the reason i'm joining is because i like a challenge. Motivates me to raise the bar a little <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Fun :)

    Where did you get the music? It really gives the game a nice feel :)

  • I had this idea for a game for a vary long time and never really thought i could make it myself. When i found out about C2 and tried it i figured i could make it happen if i really wanted to! So i just started messing around. I had it all in my mind and just let my creativity do the rest. Things fall into place when i work and new ideas arise.

    I'm still working on my first project because i wan't to make it great.

    Tough i'm making a lot of little side projects just for fun and practice. I don't write them down. I just do. If it does not work or look "Ok" with in a few days i just drop it. Start a new :)

  • I'm not much of a gambling fan but it looks niece enough for me to give it a spin. Guess i'm to noob to know what i'm doing. I fail to see the fun in this. That's just me not being a gambler i guess.

  • If you dont mind me asking are you any good in pixel art. Like 16 bit snes type.

  • What are you looking for? A programmer or designer? Is the art provided?

  • I'm sorry but when ever i hear "Pm me your Skype" its usually some 14 year old nut or porn related. How about some info about the game? You should know better.

  • Thanks :)

    I've been spending my time making little test builds. Already have a better shop mechanic and i'm currently working on ship customization. Going to keep it simple though.

    I'm also looking for somebody who is willing to help with graphics. New sprites, interface, backgrounds that sort of thing. If you are interested please send me a PM.

  • What would be the best way to do this?

    Lets say your player is a car, plane or spaceship and you want to add new parts to it. Bigger wings or a different engine. You could make a sprite for all the different combinations but that would be a lot of work. You could pin the parts to a body or use set position. I'm still new but that is what i figured could work.

    I can see a potential problem with collision boxes. It needs to acted as a single object. When a bullet hits the new part the player still needs to take damage.

    Not asking to spell it all out for me but a little push in the right direction would be appreciated.

  • Hello

    I'm new to C2 and i've spend about a week working on a game i had in my head for some time now. The tutorials helped me out a lot and when they didn't you guys where more then willing to help me out. I vary much appreciate that!

    That being said i am quite surprised by the lack of replies in the "Your Creations" sub forum. I am not only talking about my own post here. There are many threads with ZERO replies and most of them don't have more then 4 or 5.

    I really wonder why that is. People are willing to help us get started but when we post our first production we get vary little feedback. Negative feedback is feedback too. If people don't point out the good and the bad we will have a hard time getting better.

    ATM my post has a 100 views. I would like to think that at least 10 of them tried the game. Is it really too much to ask for a reply? I'm not asking for a pad on the back but it is really discouraging when nobody bothers to comment.

    You guys helps us out with problems everyday! Helps us out with feedback too!

  • I like it. The music fits really well with the art theme. I died a lot though because i had some trouble timing my jumps. Some of the enemies are moving pretty fast and the window size is pretty small.

  • Do you spawn in the sprites? If you move layers their number changes so if you have a sprite spawn on layer 3 it wont show up as intended.

  • Hello

    This is my vary first game ever. I have no background with coding or making games what so ever and i praise Scirra for giving me this opportunity. Its made in the free version and holds 99 events. I just moved (and pretty much broke right now) so i need the wait for my pay check to buy the personal version and expand on it. Its not tweaked yet and i would love some feedback on it. Please give it a shot and tell me what you think. Controls and more details can be found below.

    Play it here:

    The game

    Its currently a wave based game. Every time you kill an enemy fighter it gets +1 to its HP and will respawn after 10 seconds. The goal atm is to get a high score. Fighters will give a score corresponding with their HP while battleships give a flat 100 points. Battleships have no drops atm.

    When the fighter hits 15, 20, 30, 40 and finally 50 HP a (boss) Battleship will enter the system. They are currently pretty hard to beat. If you manage to get the fighters at 50 HP a Battleship will spawn every time you kill one. Good luck with that.

    Items / Weapons / Drops / Stars & planets

    Star

    The star has a gravity pulling you in depending on how close you are. You may have to use your booster if you get to close. Hitting it won't kill you instantly but it ignores shields and will cost you 20 armor points.

    Planets]

    Planets have a small gravity range and pull but enough to get into orbit. They can disturb your orbit around the sun and slingshot you around. Hitting a planet will cost you 10 armor and ignores shields.

    Trust booster

    The booster can be activated by holding down shift. It will double your trust but will also consume energy in the process. Good for braking, turning or getting away.

    Shield Booster

    The shield booster is located in slot 1. By pressing the corresponding number key you will activate/deactivate it. It will recharge your shields consuming energy in the process. I would highly recommend using it often.

    Rockets

    Rockets are located in the secondary weapon slot (rockets are currently the only secondary weapon) and are fired with space. They will target enemy fighters and battleships. You can buy more at the starbase. Still a bit bugged.

    Metal drops

    Enemy fighters will drop some metal when they are destroyed. You can use this to buy more rockets or armor at the starbase. Needs to be fine tuned. Really like some feedback on this.

    Mining laser

    The mining laser is used to pick up metal drops from enemy fighters.

    Starbase

    Approach the starbase to open the shop. The starbase has a powerful shield and will withstand any enemy attack. Because of this enemies will keep a save distance and will wait until you leave the safety of the starbase.

    Planed features

    Sorry for the long post but i just wanted to give you guys the details. I also wanted to write it down so i could use it later for a tutorial or something. Anyway please give it a go and tell me what you think of my first game ever!

  • If needed you could always add a "set angle" to the list. In case you want to add a cabrio ;)

  • Well my shield needed to be attached but in your case i can see that would be a problem. I guess you could make a separate event for it that also checks if you are in the car or not.

    <img src="http://imageshack.us/a/img201/5585/clipboard01ogs.jpg" border="0" />

    Just make an instance variable and set the type to boolean. When its true the car will set position to the player. When its false it will not.

    Just set the boolean to true when you enter the car.
