  • To be honest I didn't understand that you wanted to make a glow in an external sofware. I thought that you wanted to make it dynamically within Construct. So, yes, any photo-paint software that respects it self should suffice for the effect you are after!

    I wasn´t really sure about what method would be better, but those examples gave me the idea of what should i do.

  • You could use the outline webGL effect. You'll have to get it from this topic and put it in your installation folder.

    See attached capx for an example...

    Now, if the effect you after is a blurred additive glow, you'll have to use a different sprite on top of the spaceships and set its blend mode to additive.

    See the following capx...

    You can use glow mask on photoshop.

    2 mask's on in 100 opacity and the other 80 opacity.

    I think i got it guys, you gave me an idea, since i can´t use photoshop i decided to use Gimp (which is similar) and i found a neon effect so i made a neon version of the sprite (the outline) and placed the normal sprite on top of it. Now i just need to adjust some values.

    Thanks a lot for the help!

  • Im making a space shooter and i want to create a glowing effect in the outline of the main objects (enemy ships, bullets, some particles) something like neon lights, how can i do that?

    Thanks for the help.

    I think that there are several methods for creating tile-based movement that would suit your needs.. I have no experience with it, but doesn't the tilemap extension facilitate this sort of thing?

    I think i finally got it! i used your method, i used bigger sprites and used big tiles for the grid movement now it moves exactly as it should. Its as simple as that i just needed to make bigger tiles.

    Thanks a lot for the help, guys you are awesome!

    LowRezJam here i go.

    No that pixel is not a space station... its a moon.

    Exactly!, thats the low rez jam, and those are the rules.

    I want to get in, just need to solve this confussion.

    Still that sounds like a great idea, ill try that too.

  • You set the resolution in the project settings under window size. That being said, why on earth are you making your game 32 X 32.

    That being said, this resolution is far too small and it doesn't matter what you do, it probably will never look good full screen. To play the game at 32x32 resolution not scaled, the player will have to strain to see anything and scaling it up to a playable size will just make it extremely pixelated. If you are looking for a retro resolution, you could try shooting for an early pc game resolution like 320x200 or even 160x144 which is the original gameboy resolution.

    Thanks a lot for the help, i know it`s kinda crazy but that`s the challenge of the game jam (and one of the rules), its called low rez jam, i want to give it a try. It´s intended to look very, very pixelated, and it has to move acording to the pixel grid.

    Thanks again, i´ll take a look if i can do it.

  • Im working on this project and almost everything about the design is done (sprites, level design, music) but i don`t have any idea about how to make it with a 32x32 resolution and still look in a nice window size and/or fullscreen.

    Please help me, it`s for a game jam, so i dont have much time left.

    Greetings.
