  • "it's a hardware problem"

    I literally lol'd

  • actually, It was the layout I was trying to resize, my bad.

  • Just got this crash bug when trying to resize a new project. Not sure if it matters but I had setup the project as a .CAPX file rather than a project folder.

  • Hmmm...seems like all these links take me back to the forum post page?? A bummer too, cause I was interested in your all-sounds game!

  • Hey Constructors, I just noticed that if I make another post, I'll push my rep to 800! w00t. I am a graphic designer, I live in Pittsburgh, so far I've made Carl & WarpRiders. Both are works in progress. I find almost everything interesting and I am always down to shoot the sh*t�if I am in the IRC chat, hit me up!

  • While, I am inclined to say "game-play uber alles", I am more with Smitchell? your game doesn't need to be realistic or beautifully rendered, but it does need a strong, cohesive STYLE, and looks are a part of that, your user interfaces with the appearance before they ever get to the puzzles.

    But style applies to more than just looks.

    gameplay style (difficulty, "genre", mechanics, perma-death)

    visual style (8-bit, photo realism, cel-shaded etc.)

    audio style (bit-crush, orchestral, ambient)

    narrative style (text boxes, NPC's, omniscient narration, cutscenes)

    It's not one or the other...all these (and more that I probably don't even know myself yet) are necessary, you just need to balance them for the games you want to make to control the experience. It's like a 4-way yin-yang...like a gameplay orgy 4-some where you determine who's on top. lulz.

  • Yes, seems to be working just fine now!

    Nice job!

  • At work right now :/ but I can check in the evening for sure!

  • Ashley, yes, I've been looking into the firewall settings for MacOSX, it seems I may just need to grant permission to my VM software..though, for some reason, I doubt it will be that simple <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    I'll give it a shot when I got home from work and see how it turns out.

  • Just wondering if anybody who runs Windows in a virtual machine has been able to get the Preview on LAN working for them? I've followed the tut., but I am still having troubles, I am assuming the virtualization has something to do with it?

    Any ideas?

  • hmm, just got it again. seems to be happening each time I try to add a new event/sub-event?

  • Received this shortly after installing r80, created a new group and this popped up.

    Construct 2 Check failure

    ---------------------------

    Check failure! This is probably a bug:

    Getting event sequence number from event without one assigned

    Condition: sequence_number != 0

    File: Projects\Event.cpp

    Line: 30

    Function: unsigned int __cdecl Event::GetEventSequenceNumber(void) const

    Build: release 80 (64-bit) checked

    Component: Construct 2 IDE

    (Last Win32 error: 0)
