I had considered this already, and have not ruled it out at all... I was just trying to keep things "easy". If the team wants to go this way then I will adapt!

Wow, ok D: I won't say no? Sounds way more advanced than I had in mind... but who's going to argue? I guess I'd like to see it so I know what kind of art assets are required, and hopefully understand the engine a bit. :D

I will send "the ramble" to you via PM.

~Sol

Wow I had no idea you were doing this.

Awesome stuff JayJay :D

~Sol

I would try something like:

+ Hold mouse button down

+ Mouse is over object

-->Set private variable "is dragging" to 1

+Private variable "is dragging" equals 1

--->Set object.X to Mouse.X

--->Set object.y to Mouse.Y

+Hold mouse button down (negated so it's a NOT)

--->object set private variable "is dragging" 0

That should work.

MORE VRAM D:

Also, Construct is capable of making some pretty good looking games, as long as you spend the time making the graphics.

Like any language or game making utility, how good you make things is really limited by yourself. As long as you adhere to certain limitations (like newt has already mentioned), which is the same for any development platform anyway... then there is no reason why the next Metal Slug or whatever couldn't be made in Construct.

I believe that konjak, the author of Noitu Love and Noitu Love 2 had some good things to say about Construct HERE.

~Sol

I like your drawings :D

I would recommend either using bone behaviour, or if you want something a little easier and probably better, you can check out Spriter. :)

Hope this helps.

~Sol

What method are you currently using?

I may be able to help if I have a little more information about what you have already tried, as not to recover the same ground.

~Sol

Hi Nickydude and others :)

Welcome to Scirra.

~Sol

Finally got around to taking a good look at this.

Pretty damn nice! It's difficult too, which is always a bonus :D

~Sol

yea here is a top down shooter zombie game:http://www.scirra.com/forum/zombie-gamefeedback-needed_topic43818.html

Ah yes, I remember this!

That was pretty neat. I never got time to play it properly, but I shall give it a go again now (after I eat my lunch!).

Quazi, you bad boy. You're in, and you know it xD

Speaking of WHINE, I just played with that demo again literally a few hours ago... I was showing someone the kind of things that Construct can do, and that demo was the best thing I had ^^

I will probably have to limit participation from "applicants" if the topic gets any more attention... I think 3-5 people in a crew like this should be more than enough. :)

Quazi, we need to talkie :D

~Sol

I guess when I refer to coding, I mean events. :)

Have you got any examples of your work by chance?

I'm heading to bed now (4:30AM here), but I will check back when I wake up ;)

~Sol

Dude i'm all for it. I've been wanting to do a colab for some time now.

Hi there, I do not believe we have met before.

So, can I ask relating to skills you might bring to the project? Are you an artist or do you prefer coding?

~Sol

Details regarding the project are conveyed mainly upon contact via PM :)

The project is a fairly serious one, but not too ambitious... very flexible, at that. There are intentions of a profit-share for anyone involved that can contribute in a meaningful manner. Details to be discussed.

I guess I don't really want a complete detailing available for all eyes. Chat room or PM basically allows me some form of knowing who knows, and the random whole world "stealing my idea". :P

I can message you more info if you are interested, or jump in chat :D

The thread was mainly meant to find any bored zombie lovers out there that might want to get in on something... the more of us, the better it will be, the more insane we can make it, and the more money we could all make.

If you don't think that my idea is complete rubbish, then I guess you come at it with a "nothing to lose" attitude... I mainly want a good, FUN game for zombie survival enthusiasts. All of them out there ***** and bad. The best one by far is probably Dead Frontier... and it's a Unity driven shooter with heavy survival element. It's boring though after even a few weeks of playing... not my idea of an "MMO zombie game" if it's all about the grind.

I want something a little more, gritty.
