  • When I was trying to find something I had seen before, I would always forget if it was in the uploads or my creations forums. I like the new look helps with clarification, looks good.

  • I really love the vibrant art, very stylish and immersive in.

    If I could make a few suggestions though

    • for most games with a gliding mechanic, it is done with the same button as jump. I think it would make things a little less confusing. You could also think about making the talk button something like down or up, its more universally known.
    • The world graphics and character sprites really create a nice piece of art in motion, the bland life bars detract from that. You could create a really awesome looking aztec inspired hud that would take it to another level.
    • I'm not sure if this would work at all, but you could try to find a way to incorporate the physics behavior. To give your wind the affect of actually blowing things or enemies around.
    • one of the HUD icons doesn't scroll on the second level.

    Game is looking awesome though

  • I still think a subsection in the "my creations" section for development logs would be great. There are a lot of games being made in construct I wish I could keep track of easier. It inspires and motivates me watching the progress of my peers.

  • I wanted to check it out, but I was unable to get it to run

  • I found the download link here

    The presentation of this game is awesome, the first half of the game is really gripping and inspiring. I would love to see an entire game that is very story oriented presented in this cinematic platformer style.

  • Can you modify the controls of the built in behaviors with this? Or do you have to use custom movement/use events to control movement

  • You may be able to get your desired effect with the canvas object, but I'm not sure about that.

    What I do in this situation, is make the particular object obscuring my character go slightly transparent while he is behind it.

  • 1. Try a minimalistic but stylish approach to art.

    Knytt stories is a great example of this, the graphics by themselves look very simple, like a few pixels, but when the sprites, backdrops, and tiles come together it forms one cohesive stylistic piece of art that wouldn't be an exaggeration to call beautiful.

    2. Create a really interesting and/or unique game with placeholder graphics.

    If the game is special enough to catch someone's fancy after playing a small demo, it might be exactly what an artist was looking for to contribute his art to.

    3. Using photoshop on photographs.

    If drawing isn't your forte, I have seen people use the effects in photoshop to manipulate real photographs to create video game art with

    4. Finding copyright free art.

    like you said, there has to libraries of sprite art out there, I'm not exactly sure where, others could probably suggest popular websites

  • how would you go about displaying only a certain type of file?

    like a particular file extension, is that possible?

  • how is web browser not completely running away with the vote is beyond me. It may be tougher to implement than some of the other choices, but I took this poll more as a wish list than vote for which you want the most whilst bearing in mind which is the most plausible.

    Messaging somebody online with "Hey wanna check out my new game, *link to game playable in browser*" how could anybody not find that completely awesome. In this modern age, less and less people are likely to download and install a lesser known indie game.

  • I love the constant ridiculous amount of updates. At this rate, I give it two weeks before this game has more features than the actual half life.

  • I hope so too, as I was planning on using this.

    Construct is designed superior in so many ways compared to MMF, but handling player controls is not one of them.
