    Marvellous! Thanks for sharing!

    (Now I just have to hope the $91 rebate shows up in my account [can't find an emoticon for 'fingers crossed']).

  • ... I was looking more for thoughts around having a potential new platform/market to target ...

    Yes, that's really the question, isn't it? Just what is the potential of OUYA? Is it worth an indie developer spending precious time targeting a plaform that is - well, as Joel Hruska puts it in a sober assessment, "exciting, innovative ? and probably doomed".

  • ... I do believe it's the wrong tool for the job if you want to design websites ...

    <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I couldn't agree more! There are so many better website development tools out there, specifically designed for that task, and improved though many iterations.

    I really can't understand why people would even consider Construct 2 for building websites (the suggestion comes up from time to time). Maybe someone can say why? <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    Scroll down to the FAQ on the 'Compare Features/Construct 2 Licenses' page - see the first FAQ: 'Which license do I need?'.

    If you're wanting to publish your game on your own website and to have people play it either online or offline, yes, you always need to upload the files.

  • RenatoB

    Not quite sure what you mean by "a html5 package". All Construct 2 editions export to HTML5, and you can upload the resulting files to your own website for public use.

    To compare features of the free edition, click on the 'Compare Features' link at the bottom left of this page footer.

  • Velojet , I've made the blog in C2 , but can't figure out the rest ...

    Hmmm. C2 wouldn't have been my first choice as a blog platform. WordPress (e.g.) gives you much more than (I'm guessing) you could give yourself. Still, congrats on your initiative.

    You now need to register your own domain and sign up with a web hosting provider, so you can upload your exported C2 files and make your blog publicly available.

    A colleague in the UK uses Simba Hosting and is very happy with them, but others in the UK are probably better placed to advise you about a choice of provider.

  • I like it! A nice example of what can be done with the WordPress platform.

    ... I have not asked Tom or Ashley about it yet, with the chance an ezine may be in their current business plan/model ...

    — What's your own business plan/model for this? Subscription-based? Advertising-based? Angel investor-based <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> ? ...

  • — aka WhiteClaws

    We guys have a few questions for you!

    • What is your "C2 created blog"? Is it a blog powered by the C2 engine? Or is it a blog about C2, using some other platform?
    • Have you registered your own domain already?
    • Have you signed up with a web hosting provider?

  • My main concern at this stage is that the text contrast is entirely readable for everyone - is this the case now?

    Personally, I'd prefer the message body text to be <font color=black>#000</font> (rather than ? #666 ?).

    Thanks for posting!

    Tim Schafer (founder of Double Fine) really is one of the legends of gaming. He was honoured in Melbourne's 'Game Masters' exhibition, just closed - from the catalogue: "Tim Schafer [has established] himself as the comedic star of videogame writing. His many releases are considered some of the funniest ever written".

    And Double Fine's job offers, too.

    Not just comedy but honesty: "Sometimes we get busy and ignore that mail box for months on end." It'd be good if other companies were as honest.

    Just be aware that changing a username is not always a simple task. All your previous postings are tagged with your original username, so changing a username means that in effect you're starting over.

    Also, any reference to kbdmaster in other members' posts (like 'kbdmaster's games are cool') becomes a source of confusion.

    That's why it pays to think very carefully before choosing a username <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • It works now :) ...thx thx

    What do you mean by weird places? Why weird? And what's App Data?

  • Schoening

    If you add the -g (= global) flag to the install command (npm install socket.io -g), that should ensure that it'll be on a filepath where the node command can locate it. (My PATH environment includes: C:\Program Files\nodejs\;)

    [ADDED]

    For reference:

    My node.exe is in

    C:\Program Files\nodejs

    My socket.io files are in

    C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\socket.io

    My server development files are in:

    C:\Program Files\nodejs\dev\c2mp

    When I installed

    Executing 'node server.js' in C:\Program Files\nodejs\dev\c2mp\ transparently accesses all necessary files/modules (including of course socket.io).
