It all depends on how you lay out your project.

I have a team right now, who are working on a serious project using CC, and feasibly this thing might be a little unworldly. We already have 3D projected entities using 2D objects, and a 3D "point cloud" system. The game assets are going to be in the hundreds of Mb, if not even in the Gb by the time we get there...

You have to "modularize" your project. Make sure your assets are not embedded in the EXE itself, rather kept externally (encrypted or not, your choice). Make sure you are using methods for optimising what assests are loaded into memory, and when. All of these things can help make a game really any size you want... you just have to be clever with the way you splice everything together. I have even seen people make a game using several EXE's... which one EXE can quit itself and load another.

Clever boys and girls can make the best anything ;)

The main reason anyone says that it's not good for big projects, is because it can have it's drawback if you lack experience with it.

You are more or less going to run into some problem or another, usually with the way something works (or doesn't work) and have to find creative ways around the problem. It is nearly always possible, and more often than not there are people here to help.

I guess, be prepared to do a little learning with regards to "what not to do", and you can really make anything.

Ideally start small, then see what can be accomplished. Maybe using CC as a learning platform may not be such a bad idea, since C2 works more-or-less the same way... it won't be "wasted training".

It's weird they would say that, since the latest official browser version statistics show that 73.86% of users are now HTML5 capable.

I guess they are as "mandatorily stupid" as the corporate high horses that want 80 year old ladies using Windows 98 to view their Ferrari website, just in case they want to buy a Ferrari.

Oh well, they will come on-board soon enough!

I can understand why some of you are a little upset by the fact that an EXE exporter is still under consideration, but I think I can speak for most here when I say:

If you want to make EXE games, then you should be using Construct Classic, especially at this point in time.

CC is free, and works just fine.

If you feel bad about buying C2 on the premise it might, one day have an EXE exporter, then consider it a donation toward the development of both CC and C2.... and keep your hopes up. Ashley has not completely out-ruled an EXE exporter, so it's too early to be getting up in arms about it.

No stress Ash, I don't they are head hunting mate :)

You guys best know what your priorities are, so stick to your guns.

I have to now take this time to say, I would also like to see an EXE exporter in some form or another for C2 ;)

I was thinner. The photo in the OP I was like 22 years old... photo in the last post, is 10 years later ;)

If those are the pics you mean...

I think there are some in the middle somewhere, where I started tanking on the weight. I lost a bunch of weight, now it's slowly coming back again xD

I can't even use my latest project beuase of the lag. Ver sad.

You need a way to optimize the visible resources you are using. If everything is being constantly loaded into memory and stays there, then any game will bog down :)

Haha awesome!

Glad to see people are still posting in here :D

Here is a more recent pic of myself, for everyone to caress at night:

Then a zombified version, just for fun!
