  • Construct 2's code editor is unmatched across all game development software that I've found. Sure there's a lot of gimmicky and inefficient "visual" things for Unity but it's not even close to Construct 2's. Will it ever be? I'd love to be able to move into the cutting edge of video games (3D), without having to learn obscure code languages.

  • Your first average is entirely pointless and it messes up your test, I got a steady 60 FPS for the entire thing � except of course on start up because every game has a low FPS at the start.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Yeah the "fine" arts will give you much better drawing and colour theory skills compared to graphic design courses here. Ideally I'd imagine you'd want a course that teaches digital painting (so you don't have to bother wasting time with outdated painting technology that I'm sure fine arts would give) and with a 3D component so you remain at the cutting edge of the highest art (video games).

  • My project isn't that complex (only ~2500 events so far), but for my project the performance on computers has only ever been a struggle with the graphical side on old/bad computers, the code hasn't really been an issue at all (it's been awesome).

  • I have awesome buffalo SNES USB controllers which are good for 2D games, but Chrome doesn't recognize them so I can't use them (it only supports popular things generic xbox controllers etc.)

    Just use the gamepad extension.

  • That's not a problem, that's a good thing.

    Just make sure you've applied dt in every equation where speed matters.

  • Ashley and Linux?

    Node webkit supports win/mac/linux, so I'm pretty sure he will especially considering that the Steam console/computer will be using linux.

  • Ashley said somewhere that Node-webkit will be in the next beta release (fullscreen, uses chrome, gamepad support, opens like a normal game/application etc.)

  • It's too ugly for to me consider buying it. Maybe over a decade ago, it would have been cool.

    eads up! We're back in business and 1.7 Official is coming down the pipe soon.

  • If gamestick had better performance than the already medicore performance of the Ouya, then it might be good.

  • Ya, less sprites the better. Use the display sprite's collision polygon if you can.
