  • Wow, Ashley you were exactly right. The problem was in my config file I was using a number in the ID of the export so I removed it and everything works just fine now :D I should have known that you cant use numbers in the ID from working with Eclipse.

    Thank you very much for your help :D

    O'ya I forgot to mention I really like the "Hide status bar" option you added. It makes the game look more professional, and fit's the screen size perfectly now :)

  • Hello

    I haven't used phonegap build in about a month but last night I wanted to quick test a game I was working on, and when I try to install the apk I keep getting an error saying "There is a problem parsing the package".

    I am using C2 87, and my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S. I have googled the hell out of this, and found about 30 different solutions that worked for other people but not me :( I have tried over 40 different installers, I tried downloading it to my phone with different email accounts, I tried downloading it to my computer, and installing it directly to my sd card. I rebuilt it over 100 times. Nothing works :( Is this some new bug with C2?

    I can still install all my old games from phonegap. They were all built with versions before, and up to 80.2. I can also install any app off of the google play store. I just can't install any new game I build with C2 87, and phonegap build :(

    Is anyone else having this problem?

    Does anyone have a solution?

    Is anyone even reading this?

    Help Please!

  • But how much money have you made off of a construct game?

    $79 so far. I place 4th in the HBGames build and win contest, and won a Construct 2 Standard license worth $79 but I already own a Standard license so I gave it to someone that didn't win anything.

    Do these games sell as easy as flash games? or easier?

    I don't see why not. I have tried all of the known HTML5 game engines out there, and Construct 2 is by far the most advanced user friendly one on the market.

    I haven't tried to sell any of my games yet. I am still working on developing the quality of my games. Once I am satisfied then I will move to the next faze, and try marketing, and selling my games.

    I believe if you can make a good quality game it doesn't really matter what you made it with. A Construct 2 game should be able to sell just as easy as a flash game. It then becomes a matter of how you market, and sell your game which has nothing to do with the software it was made with, or the language it was programed in.

  • Your welcome OrdonianKing :)

    I have tried all of the known HTML5 game engines out there, and Construct 2 is by far the most advanced, user friendly one on the market.

    You can't go wrong with Construct 2 :D

    Edit: No it's not useless :) But you can do more with the Eclipse IDE, and phonegap.

  • Here is a tutorial that will help you get started with appmobi:

  • OrdonianKing Have you seen this thread yet?

    Furries

    Furries was made by ranma. Try this game out once it runs perfect. It was made with C2, and PhoneGap. Then read through the whole thread ranma gives you all the information you need to get top performance using C2, and PhoneGap.

    Or you could always try using appMobi.

    I was thinking this would be a great way to market a Construct 2 game but maybe bigger. I was thinking the Sears Tower in Chicago <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle"> Just have to figure out how to get past the Department of Homeland Security.

  • zak The go on freelancing was great back in the day when there wasn't much competition. If anyone ever tells you that competition is good for business there either a lair, or they are a giant in the industry that just buys out the competition as soon as they start to turn a profit. lol

    In the late 1990s during the Dot-com boom was a great time to be a web developer. There were countless internet companies that pushed their stock valuations into the stratosphere even though they never made a penny. Every business wanted a web presence, and they all had plenty of money to spend. Not to mention there weren't many web developers around. Those were the best years to be a freelancer.

    I don't really have the time anymore to freelance. I have a pretty good job as a web developer, I like getting weekly paychecks, health insurance, and payed vacations :) When I'm not working I am spending all my time developing games. That's really what I want to do now anyway :D

    But I'm sure you will do just fine :) Good luck!

  • mrthehun I'm not from your area but this website http://www.internetfreedom.org/ has some information, and helpful tools that should help you get through China's (Golden-Shield).

  • I got a graphics card that's blacklisted by Firefox but I am getting between 20, and 25 FPS on Firefox with canvas2d which is about the same you would get on a mobile device.

    Canvas2d:

    And in Google Chrome with webgl I'm getting between 55, and 60 FPS.

    Webgl:

    I'm not getting any noticeable lag just a 5 FPS fluctuation.

  • ZaksCommunicates Sorry I didn't post earlier but I downloaded your sample packs. I thought they were very well designed. Nice pro work :)

    I also work as a web developer but where I work I cant be as creative. You make me miss freelancing. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your free samples with us, and don't stop producing them. I am sure they will be of benefit to people that cant make there own, and have no money.

    Some times people are in just to much of a hurry to say thank you. Don't let it get you down :)

  • Did you place your player on layout 2's level? I usually just drag him out of the Projects/Object Types window folder onto the level I want him on.

  • Just make an object at the end of your layout like a door or something. Then in your event sheet for that level do something like this:

    +Player: Is overlapping (The object you made)

        -System: Go to layout (The next layout you want to go to)

  • Thank you Jonny for taking an interest in us. I find it very impressive that Microsoft a giant in the tech industry is interested in doing business with us Scirra / Construct2 guys. This just re-insures me that my decision to purchase Construct 2 was one of the best investments I ever made.

    To answer your questions:

    How many of you Scirra / Construct2 guys are based in the USA?

    I am based in the USA.

    If we could find a way to package up a Construct2 game perhaps using phonegap would you have interest in getting your game into the Windows Phone 7 marketplace?

    Yes, most definitely!

    Thanks again for taking the time to post here. You know that theirs not a lot of opportunity in the USA anymore. As a matter of fact there are about 17 million unemployed Americans that would jump at an opportunity like this.

  • I really like your game Era. The art, and music flow well together giving your game a bit of a bittersweet emotion to the whole game play. It was a little difficult navigating through the asteroids but I made it to the end. Well done! And congratulations on placing 2nd :)
