  • Another completely unexpected and crazy development. Mortar Melon has been nominated for best casual game and best debut game at the TIGA Awards. More info here: 2013 TIGA Games Industry Awards finalists.

  • gfigueroa 'Stop All Music' and 'Stop Sound' should work fine. If you PM me a .capx and an exported project I'll take a look.

    mertyildiran can you PM me an example. Just to confirm, it works using my project without the spritefont plugin? Did you copy the spritefont across into the project?

  • mertyildiran no idea I'm afraid. If webfonts aren't working in the browser then it's a general issue. Posting in the 'How do I' forums should help.

    Bear in mind that if the user downloads the game, then disconnects from the internet and launches the game, remote fonts won't be loaded.

  • mertyildiran remote worked fine last time I tested. Yeah we used sprite fonts for Mortar Melon.

  • This is a Windows Phone bug. You can see workarounds here: Font Replacement.

    My workarounds are a little out of date - I'd recommend using the official sprite font plugin.

  • mertyildiran good to know - experiment with the sample rate and bit depth to reduce crackling until you're happy with it.

    I've got a deadline on Monday so don't have any time to implement 'is playing' until then. If you could remind me on Tuesday (@henryhoffman on Twitter) then I can get it done then.

  • First ingame shot. Going to replace the dunes once I'm on schedule with levels ;)

  • Have you checked the templates when creating a new project? They have a number of platform specific ones.

  • ScreenWidth/ScreenHeight expressions?

  • rgeuens Thanks! I gave some tips buried in this thread somewhere:

    Some very subjective tips:

    • Always make a style board before you start a project.
    • Colour theory is more important than anything else.
    • You don't need to be able to draw, you just need to be able to keep going until it looks good.
    • Focus on removing detail rather than adding it.
    • Don't look at games for creative inspiration.

    A couple of sites for inspiration:

    Also if you like the art for Mortar Melon, check out the game Mush that I also did art for.

    Cheers everyone. Artwork is finally ingame after an all-nighter ;)

  • Nice, cheers for the feedback. They were supposed to be snow dunes :) but I think I can rework them to be more icy.

  • First look at the new world:

    Feedback would be great, it's quite a contrast to the other worlds and I'm blind to it now.

    Cheers!

  • Woop!

  • I'm sorry if this has already been answered, but I have a couple of questions:

    • Can we do motion blending? So say with an analog input I could blend between walk and run animations?
    • Can we control bones dynamically? So say my character is walking along, I can hijack the head animation to look at an object.

    Thanks!

  • — do you have a .capx?
