  • Extech is a huge Robot platformer game with all hand drawn animations and landscapes.

    I built an almost full game and hit a wall on my coding and development skills. looking for competent coders to help complete the project. Mainly looking to develop the battle system and boss fights because as of now its a bit clunky. This is a huge!!! huge game so make sure you have a clear understanding of construct 2 and then contact me =) for people interested in becoming a team and working together to possibly monotize.

  • My first game is finally out of development and into editing and detailing... Please download and let me know what you think so I can make some improvements. Extech takes place in a post apocalyptic earth where two bands of robots compete against each other. Bot the main character sets out to unify once and for all Biomech and Extech.

  • My first Game "Extech" A platformer where After human culture fell from the earth a new society arose. A society built on mechanics and code. A society devoid of emotions, and governed by reason. Here the fittest still survive and to be fit you must adapt. Working on editing it now then going into beta.

    Found a solution: not ideal and probably temporary. but switched to construct 3 and so far the lagging and freezing on my larger game has stopped (the saving takes forever though)

    [quote:10ccrk4t]=I don't get the freezing and missing resources all the time, but I have had occasional freezes as of late. Same thing, restarting the computer makes it all go away for a little while longer. Example freezing, copy/pasting lots of variables freezes construct for several minutes. On my windows 7 machine, copy/paste is instant. Note: this only applies to the "slow.capx" project. In the "fast.capx" copy/pasting variables is instant. In the slow.capx, copy/pasting brand new variables is fast, but ones with the same starting name is slow. Such as var1, copy and paste. Once you have Var1...20. It is super slow. If you make newvar1 and copy/paste, it is fast again.

    It seems like it could be two different (maybe related?) issues.

    1) dialogs taking forever to pop

    2) Construct slowing down until next restart.

    When you try the example capx (the slow.capx) how long does the action menu take for you to load?

    Next test, when Construct is going slow for your other project, open slow.capx. Now how long does the action menu take to load ? (this is one thing I also noticed, is the slow down is across the board when it occurs).

    Unfortunately, the second issue is harder to reproduce and get out there. I am hoping, by fixing this issue at hand (the slow.capx dialog popping issue), it might help the second issue.

    Thankfully c2 didn't freeze but I did get a slow down when adding an action about 4 sec (which is way better) and when I switched to your slow file it still runs well, so we might have two unique problems. sorry I couldn't help. I'm going to try to resave my file, and reinstall c2 again and see if it fixes the problem.

    > I Have a similar problem with construct 2. I started out with quick save loads and importing and now that the game is a lot larger the editor barely runs. To the point now where game making is all but impossible. I have a brand new computer, tried reinstalling c2 and updated all drivers, still freezes constantly.

    What are your specs?

    Cpu?

    Ram?

    Hdd/SSD?

    OS?

    How long do dialogs to edit actions take to pop?

    Does the issue go away partially, or get better, after a fresh reboot?

    I just tested your example and it strangely seems to work well on my computer. And yes as I work it gets progressively worse, lagging more and more when I hit add action or sound, It takes a while sometimes like 6 seconds and at times it shows nothing in the action folder then freezes and says missing resources. When I restart it fixes it temporarily then jams again later on. I think its an error in the game file or something. I have windows ten, 8 gigs ram and 3.2 ghz AMD Ryzen quad core processor. The game has over 8000 events so pretty large.
