- [FIX] 'FPS in caption' disabled in fullscreen preview (prevents titlebar flickering)

always cool to see a bug report result in a bug fix

edit: closed my ticket https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d ... _id=207820

wow... something's up with the motion blur. is it supposed to increase the number of ticks in a given time period? my dash and other things use private variables that increase each tick, and even with the same framerate, changing the motion blur has a blatant effect on my dash etc. i know i should utilize time delta, but is it supposed to increase the number of ticks in a given time period?

that is slick

Hmm, not much to report on now, seeing as how it's just the base movement engine. I don't much like the controls the way they're set up, but if you're making a customizable control scheme then that's okay.

well, it's a bit more than a movement engine -- it's a weapon/character select engine, too

And I'm not a fan of the blur, at all. I don't know what it is, maybe it just looks crappy on my machine but motion blurring just never looks right in any game I've ever seen. It's way too choppy.

Here's a screenshot (linked for size).

Is it supposed to look like that? Could someone with a good computer post a screen of what motion blur looks like for them?

weird..

this is what it looks like to me when dashing (most blur possible in the game atm -- walking around, you're moving slower, you'll have less blur)

here's blur while walking:

but i'm definitely not set on keeping motion blur. once i get more art assets in there (and put in enemies/shooting etc), i'll be tweaking the other options. i think soft motion blur like what you see in my screenshot can be great, but i'll need to make sure it's not having a negative effect on framerate etc. and i'll probably just set it as being optional anyway.

it looks pretty sweet, but you should revise the controls a little, pressing space to jump is a little difficult, maybe set it to W so your hands dont sprawl across the keyboard so much, i have big hands and its annoying for me, i cant imagine what a small handy would feel lol.

yeah i already plan on allowing "W" to be used as jump -- just haven't gotten around to it. i plan on building a control system that lets the user change out their controls completely.

Seems controls create at their position relative to the application window; they'll need to be modified to show relative to their layout. Good find.

i also noticed that if, for example, i placed a sprite -- it would correctly APPEAR to be located where i placed it. but when i want to click on the object, i would need to click over to the left in the incorrect position.

here's an early release you can try out -- again, i warn it's very basic as i'm still building the foundation systems for the game. all of the art is placeholder art that will be replaced later. there are no enemies yet. only the MG weapon can shoot right now, but you can change weapons for slot 1 and 2 in the options screen (it'll save your weapon selection and load it next time you run the game).

i've been to japan and i'm minoring in japanese, but i can't say i really like much japanese music. one band i like is The Pillows and i guess i like some of Polysics stuff, but not much beyond those two bands.

platform/animation example:

why not keep both? adds variety. i don't really think they clash with eachother

top half shows in-construct view, bottom half shows runtime

so i'm building an options screen using the layout object. the text object seems to place itself fine, but as you can see, the buttons and drop down box have a disagreement. i haven't confirmed it, but they seem to be placed where they would be if the modal layout was up and to the left at 0,0 instead of where it is actually placed, near the middle of the screen. the inlayed layout is fewer pixels w/h than the layout it loads into, so i figure this skipped passed testing when they put in this feature.

preparing to write a bug report -- just wanted to post a thread to make sure i wasn't doing anything wrong.

edit: a secondary problem... for some reason the first button press of "o" doesn't open the options... but after that it'll open/close it every time

hmm.. your download link seems to be broken
