  • Menus aren't fully implemented yet, they don't work. You'll have to create in-game menus.

  • I need the numbers the most, so it could output an array. It can then be converted into heightmap or something by another plugin, while the noise itself could be used for procedural generation of dungeons, caves, celestial features et cetera.

    An example of texture could be background image (a nebula, stars etc.), that is randomly generated each time you visit a new star (yes, I have space exploration game in mind as well). Hopefully a seed can be preserved to regenerate the same noise on demand.

    Why not just let the user decide what output he wants? In properties, he'd choose either numeric output in form of array (export numbers into an existing Array object?) or an image (with a few settings such as colors, grayscale, alpha etc., export into a Sprite object?).

    Knowing the difficulty of above implementation, I'd be perfectly happy with numeric output only.

    P.S.: There is a number of functions that are quite a boon in game development that would expand Construct's feature light in a positive way.

  • Everything is broken as soon as you insert an event. Why not use event groups and functions?

  • Wall of ... text!

  • Paying to play is gay? I'll be sure to let the bowling club know that. Oh, and the arcade stand.

  • Low overhead, that indeed looks like a better alternative.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • I don't think that millions of players would really agree with your assessment of quality. Firstly, WoW runs on most computers due to relaxed system requirements, while most new games nowadays require at least a multi-core computer with latest graphics card. The new upcoming games will require at least PS4.0, which would force gamers to upgrade their hardware.

    Moreover, WoW is a social game. It is like TF2 minus headshots, plus actual socialization. People that aren't too successful in real social life suddenly find themselves comfortable on an online game, where nobody can see your acne, dirty clothes, smell your bad mouth breath or stuff.

    And lastly, WoW is full of content, there are numerous things to do for each type of gamer, not to mention that it is continuously expanding.

    I would know, I've been playing WoW for years. I've quit only because I wish to do something productive in my life for a change other than leading a raidguild. Besides I've seen everything there is, WoW has gotten repetitive and it begun catering to majority. My experience has been watered down.

    So while I await Star Wars: Old Republic, I am writing a novel and attempting to make something productive in Construct without running into a fatal creator's block.

    Don't diss WoW, it is like a succubus. Either you resist her fully or she snares you for a long, long time. She's being very successful, y'know.

    Oh, the biggest thing I disliked about WoW - its subtle transition to additional pay business models. Rename your character, change gender, change realm, TCG cards... everything for money. Upcoming faction change. For money. In addition to the constant gold seller spam.

    While the player has just become a number.

    Fuck that golden goose, I'm happy with my dirty old hen.

  • I am hereby being lazy and requesting a Perlin Noise implementation in form of a plugin.

    Potential uses to consider: terrain generation, height maps, texturing (clouds, nebulae etc.)

    Payment: My firstborn (if I ever give birth to one).

  • I hope it stays alive, so that half the Internet is too busy grinding rather than posting lame stuff all over boards.

  • I didn't vote for Construct.

    *notes the angry mob* Wait! Wait! I lied! I voted for Construct! I swear by my pet goldfish's grave!

  • I think you want to decrease the mouse speed in order to get higher accuracy. But eh, I think it is more of a Windows control than anything else.

  • 1. If you aren't happy with the way car behaviour behaves (oh the pun), you can make your own car movement with Construct events (after you've learned the ropes of Construct). Custom movement behaviour is now here to fulfill your darkest desires!

    2. Numeric keypad can be used in image editor to place the hotspot. 5 centers it, 4 puts it in middle of left edge etc.
