And I never fucking used it.

I'm a bozo.

That's weird. What are your hardware specs? Does your GPU support moBlur? If not... that may causing the slow performance.

I don't really care about the audience for this game

I'll have to think about this stuff for Sein though - Sein has about the same performance requirements.

Yeah, maybe I'll do that. The problem is that it's still gonna be super slow even without motion blur - that's because of the Xbox360 Controller Plugin Bug. My guess is that it tries to find inputs at every tick but doesn't find shit if the controller isn't connected or something.

The only way to play it right now is to connect 2 Xbox360 Controllers to your PC.

Works on every machine here and even on my older machine

The moment you have 2 Xbox360 Controllers connected, you should get good performance. I think it runs on par with Braid on Windows, performance-wise.

Oh, btw, the sound isn't in there, so I'll update the zip file later on

Ooops, I think there's a bug in my project somewhere - Normally, you'd get fancy new music and shit when you collect all the marbles, but it seems to crash the app right now. CRAAAAP!

Alright, to celebrate the release of 99.42, I thought it'd be fun to dedicate the whole weekend to an idea and to spend both days on it.

So the idea was simply to create a very basic, simple 2d, co-op sidescroller in 720p with minimal graphics, but a bit of charme

It's still super rough around the edges and there's a big, freaking bug that'll probably prevent most of you from playing the game, but anyway:

(I ran out of time, so forgive me if the environment art is a bit bland )

About the bug: Apparently, you'll need 2 Xbox360 controllers connected to your PC and they both must be on and connected to the remote device thingy or you'll get a TERRIBLE framerate, like 5-10 fps. If you have 2 Xbox360 Controllers and they're both connected, you should get straight 60fps.

It's heavily inspired by that guy who makes those minimalist games here, hope you don't mind dude

Have fun!

Nah, it's all good

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have said 'cluttered' Sorry, my mistake.

A rant about products is always good, I'm sure the WoW team would appreciate hearing all your feedback if you're not happy with WoW. But this probably isn't the best place to talk about WoW... speaking of WoW... must resist... the urge...

I don't post on the blizzard boards, because I am not a member of their boards nor do I intend to be and to be honest they're making gazillions without my help so I doubt they could give a crap and half about my opinions

I'm pretty sure they do. This isn't about money, if you know how something could be improved, speak up and you'll be heard

[quote:1l67fz6z]I'm also not cluttering the boards with anything

if you don't enjoy the spirit of open discussion then don't come to open topic

I know you work for blizzard, but that doesn't preclude me from speaking openly about my feelings to my other scirra colleagues

Whoa, take it easy! I was just suggesting that it'd be smarter to post that critique on the Blizzard boards, where tons of Blizzard people will see it, that's all.

[quote:1l67fz6z]I'm sure it's difficult

so is designing an operating system capable of supporting countless devices from several eras, as well as thousands of apis from said eras, with tens of thousands of hackers trying to exploit and destroy your OS, or compromise other users' privacy, with a userbase of hundreds of millions, but that doesn't stop people from criticizing microsoft.

Again, I ddn't mean that in a harsh way - It's always good if people share their comments and critique, that's why I was suggesting you should probably copy 'n paste that stuff over to Blizzards boards, where Blizzard will actually see it.

So why don't you send that rant to Blizzard or post it on their boards instead of cluttering the boards here? I assure you that the designers won't see what you have to say here.

Also, remember that designing and maintaining an MMORPG that has over 10 million subscriptions is no easy task at all. And Blizzard is definitely always improving the world, trust me on this

Oh fuck, I could've thought of that. It must've been motion blur.

Fuck.

Hope that'll be fixed soonish.

Alrighty.

Since Construct is still pretty buggy and can even corrupt your projects right now, it'd be great if we'd have a versions feature.

Which means that Construct would automatically setup a versions folder in the root directory of the game and save versions with .0001 .0002 .0003, etc. extensions every, say, 10 minutes.

I just added a new layout yesterday night and oversaved my cap, cause I thought it'd be okay, but as it turns out, Construct seems to mess up the layout ordering or something. So anytime I now add more than 1 layout, Construct will crash. The first layout will always work, but 2, 3, 4, etc. - all of em will crash. Doesn't matter whether it's a new layout or a cloned one.

In cases like this, having access to an older version would've saved my ass.

Darn. I created a new project yesterday, set everything up and figured out now that as soon as I add a second layout, Construct crashes before the runtime starts. The funny thing is that I can move the layouts around, so if I move the second layout to happen before the first layout, it'll work, yet, as soon as I then start layout 2 (which was Layout 1 a second ago), it crashes again - so it's not something funky going on in the layout, I guess the layout ordering must be fucked up or something.
