C2 is planned to be a commercial software you'll have to pay for. While Construct Classic (the old version) will remains open sourced, supported and developed by the Scirra community itself.

C2 is still in development and is available for free to let people test it and help improving it.

Hi there!

Im curious to find the precursor of the 2D platformer with pitch black foreground and lit background. You know, the kind of game that comes out every 2 days..

Like Limbo

or Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

or Operation Overkill (which is not always like that but hey..)

http://indiegames.com/2011/06/xbla_hit_ ... to_pc.html

You know, those games. There must be a first one and I'd like to see where it comes from.

Thank you if you can help me clear my path!

Fixed!! Thanks now I can enjoy r38

Do you plan to allow to change key for the platformer plugin ? Or add actions to trigger plateformer action (Trigger Jump, Trigger Up, etc...) so external object can control the platformer object.

Well, I guess you're right. Afterall, boxing is an art too. Where's the limit between mastering a discipline and becoming an artist. Cleaning a room and making it a nice, warmth and relaxing place is also a form of art. Whatever pass through any of our senses to modify how we feel can be consider art. It will move some, and leave others cold as ice. A lawyer is an artist who gently and subtly pulls strings of literature and morality.

But personally, I still believe that art is how you do it and not what you do.

IMHO, very few games can be qualified as art. In most case, videogames are a pale copy of an technically innovative games. What you see, what you hear, it's nothing but 0s and 1s and the real game artists are the ones who allows other artist to showcase their own art with the fewest limitations.

The only ones capable of making videogames an art, are the ones who make them. Until programmers publicly showcase their code and that can easily be admired and appreciated by non-programmers, videogames will remain a medium to showcase other people's art.

I checked and the currentlvl value starts at 0 then is set to 2 after the first level, then 4 on the second level, maybe thats the reason

Actually, those zombie dogs in RE1 made me stop playing that game, I was shaking like hell, and since it happens in the first 2 minutes, well..I never played RE1 again. Maybe I should try it out now.

Mipey: Remember that I was not trying to write a story. The plan was to write a short introduction into the universe I will base my game on. I'm saying that I got an interest in writing a short story after I realized I had already 10 pages.

sved: Thanks I'll take a look!

Di you ever write a novel from scratch ?

Yesterday I started typing a plot for a game I'm doing in Construct and it turned out to be over 10 pages... and I still have thousands of things to say to develop the idea !!!

I think I'm gonna continue and maybe make a short story and !!! IF !!! someday I decide to publish it as a book, I'd like to know if there's something I should consider right now before getting into it seriously, like editing constraints, writing methodology, etc..

Thanks!

Ahah mind control cereal box..

I didn't download it cause I'm at work right now but, looking at the screenshots, I can't understand why this game makes 22MB! lol!!

I bet it's a funny time waster though!

Just found it... Alpha Test effect....shame on me.
