I have tried to create a ordinary space shooter game with particle effects and the game slows down to a epileptic 15fps.My pc specs are as follows Intel Core I7 980 X , Mobo-Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9 ,Memory-8gigs OCZ triple channel PC12800 DDR3 , GFX-Asus Aries Limited Edition-1gig DDR5 , HD-Seagate Baracuda XT 2TB , Sound - Asus Xonar Essence ST , Power IKONIK Vulcan 1200W.

Is there some optimisation codes that i can use to speed up the game?.My particles are set at a rate of 800.If i create the same game with XNA studio then the game runs at an ultra smooth 120fps.I have tried to resize the textures and backgrounds but to no avail.

Wikd stuff keep it up

But we can all agree one thing right?.Construct rocks!!!.

I have seen the true power of Construct on Scirra's Russian site.ProjectStar2 is the most awesome game ive ever seen as far as 2d games go.And the Russian site itself is absolutely gorgeous.I have no idea how they got that plane to move sideways with the mouse and have the plane yaw at an angle left or right.My question is ,Can you create 10 different stages with the same quality gfx on every stage?.

The boss is absolutely fantastic.Did they use python script for ProjectStar 2 or did they use Construct's built in library of event's?.After visiting the russian site i have more questions than ever before lol.

Construct is the best 2d games creator in the universe!!!.Ive had some commercially availible 2d games packages before but they pale in comparison.I don't know if Construct ever got an award for best freeware 2d package but it definitely deserve's all the awards.To everyone at Scirra,YOU ROCK!!!.

Used daz3d for rendering the trees in 3d.Then used paint shop pro to give that cartoony look.The trees was modelled with blender 3d.As for the grassblades i used paint shop pro.I still have tons of sprites that i will post later.My next series will be effects like smoke, explosions ,and water.I will put them into a zip file because they are separate png animated files.I will also create some 3d characters and render them to 2d png files,Fully animated off course.

Thank you for that great link tulamide

Thank you very much for this awesome tutorial.You are the best.

Thank's Arima.

Do you have win7 or winxp.My usb drive had the same prob on winxp.Turned out it was the usb hub on the motherboard that was switching off randomly.Try switching the usb root hub to be permanently on in power management on device settings.

The tutorials are a bit scarce on construct especially the advanced tutorials.Woohoo congrats Sagal on your 500th post.You have won a trip for 0 persons to hawaiiiiii lol.
