  • Good idea.

  • Oh sure, I think that too [Re: SuperV]. I just want the journey there to be smooth

    I'm going to go ahead and directly ask you to stop your post battle with 'Mr Sneeze'. He blames you for moaning about the demo, yet he made a point of moaning about my demo. This is clearly not a mind you're going to make any progress with, so forget it. What I think would be funny is if everyone goes and rates my demo 1 star, but we all rated their demo 5 stars. I get a kick out of stuff like that

    Edited to clarify post timing

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • But remember thinking it's better is your opinion, not fact, so it won't help our or anybody's cause to go announcing it, especially in sensitive places where you know it will provoke reaction. Do you see my point?

  • It's not like that - while yes, Construct is open source and MMF costs money, these are facts - you present them as a strong opinion (ie. nothing can possibly be better than Construct, etc). This is not realistic. MMF is mature software, so has fewer bugs, and a larger userbase, and a few other things like more plugins - all positive points. I'm flattered by your passion for Construct, but you must keep perspective - remember, I would still advise someone working on a commercial or otherwise important project to use mature software, be it MMF, GameMaker, or waiting until 1.0 comes around. Until then, Construct still might nuke your file or make it 3.2 gigabytes, heh.

    So the point is, while I'm not asking to control your activities on the internet, I'm urging everyone to keep a realistic view, don't lose your heads, and hey, it's only an internet rating. Rate it 5 stars since they seem to take it so seriously

  • You will still have to download and install new versions, like when 0.94 comes out, and for the forseeable future. The hotfixer will just kick in when we botch a plugin or something, like with the platform movement here. The updater has been coded to be able to auto-install new builds, but I'm a bit worried if it goes wrong it will nuke every installed copy of Construct in existance! So new builds as usual for now.

  • Well, I don't mind a post if it's clever, or 5 star (trivialise the other raters). Just no flaming. We're better than that, guys

  • Sorry bout that, the hotfixer should be running again. Just open Construct and it should grab a working platform movement.

  • Find something else to occupy you, and I think there's plenty to laugh about already without posting If you want to post, rate it five stars and say nice demo, nice idea, nice graphics, whatever.

  • Don't get involved in the flamewars on The Daily Click guys. If someone posts saying Construct sucks, so what? We're better off without them. If someone posts saying they think MMF is amazing, so what? It's not bad. Just let it go, folks.

    Plus we don't want to end up with people thinking the guys over at Scirra run amok all the time

  • Oh dear god! Let's not throw Windows/Linux/Mac in to this mess.

    Hahahaha, funniest e-drama for ages

  • Well, it's not a bad demo after all, so I gave it five stars

  • Official word on the matter:

    It's hilarious.

    There are so many levels of irony going on here it's ridiculous. The graphics, code etc are all original, just the same idea, so it's not like there's a copyright infringement (do Clickteam think otherwise???? Should I threaten to sue them???). It's odd they basically reproduced Construct demo to show off (even the filter effect when you die is the same ). There's been even more fussing over pointless '1' ratings like we had. Coincidentally the tech demo I started two weeks ago was ready, so I posted it - and surely nobody will get fussed over "just a simple stupid demo" like someone said of "Ghost Hunter"? Jeff of Clickteam liked it so I guess he likes our one too? (admittedly theirs is more polished, but it's the same thing), while CT moderators are censoring the very name of Construct on their forums (Wow! We've achieved an "unspeakable" status!) - and this is all so terribly predictable, people will fuss, post more thinly-veiled irrational hate responses, flamewars shall be had, threads shall be locked, post shall be deleted, and oh jeez. Give me a break already.

    I don't care, good publicity IMO.
