Releasing the first beta version of the EXE wrapper is expected to add a boost in appearance of new C2 games. Can't wait!

Looks promising! Especially for the upcoming EXE wrapper. Everybody will want to write savegames with a small picture, characters, read from INI file, etc.

Update is working. I have updated my entry - Golem - to the final version.

[..]

Must report that my attention span increased so much playing this as an EXE. Happy that a HTML5 game kept my attention for much more than a few seconds.

[..]

This is promising.

I forgot to add this too: watching Ashleys EXE wrapper run perfectly on my PC increased my Space-Blasting attention five-fold and gave so much hope! Armed with an EXE finally we can be serious game developers!! :D

WinXP SP3: Demo worked flawlessly.

> Please note: we may make this a licensed-only feature.

Don't. You can then enforce the "Made With Construct 2" splash screen like this to free users. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Tested in my work computer. dll issue, but game ran ok, sound and all. On close, there was an error message.

Please do make this a licensed only feature.

That way it might get a lot more polished. Thank You!

Played the demo from start to finish. YOU WIN!-at the 3rd or 4th try. Very addictive Space Blaster demo you have there. No DLL errors, game run very nice. Little sound lag at the beginning and there is development time to optimize speed. Awesomium is awesome!! Good that is still early. Awaiting any update on this front! Monetizing games will be a heck of a lot easier this way. :DD

Once we have compiled our first game EXE-s and its ready for donate or pre-purchase:

Protection against pirates could be effective by simply releasing a new version using new content every week. Crackers will get annoyed with frequent updates quickly. The idea is to try to make good updates so everyone wants to try the new features!

Very good news!!!!!! Thank You Scirra!!!!!

I already get a warning from Autodesk XSI starting it every time and the menu texts and some numeric entry field, plus 3DSMAX's menus got distorted, overextended, because i'm using a bigger General Display DPI setting. :)

Bigger 'Add Event' and 'Parameters for' fonts in C2 would be a godsend.

The idea is, the eye uses much more fuel if it has to concentrate on small fonts all the time and people tire quicker, only they do not identify the cause.

Using bigger fonts, the eye has it easier, a developer can work longer hours without getting too bad red eyes.

I didn't find set_layer_angle(); satisfactory enough, because i already prearranged my level arbitrarily, without much planning just by intuition of the beginner. My whole level arrangement isn't really rotate-layer-centered. :)

Dear Ashley,

Would you be so kind please and add bigger fonts into the

"Add Event View" and

"Parameters for .." windows.

It would be great if we could set these fonts in the preferences.

I would immediately set them to Tahoma 11-14pt.

Thank You.

Just checked now. Working fine. Continue finishing my entry in r80.2.

Thank You!

Win XP SP3 32-bit, NVIDIA GTX280, 4GBRAM. I'm using a digipen (right hand) :)) Wacom Intuos 3 even for work with Construct 2, because its much more precise than the mouse. + mouse in left hand :)) so there are both type of input at once. :))

In 3DSMax i have rendered the sprite anim:

29 PNG files, 64x32x32bit

010000.png    size: 1828 bytes

...

010040.png    

Opened my CapX project in R80. (chose from "Recent" menu)

Zoomed out with CTRL+Mouse (i have to do precise pivot placements)

Double clicked on canvas

Insert new object

Sprite

One click on canvas

Edit Image OPEN

Browse to first frame PNG, bring it in,

Right click on Animation frames,

import frames

CTRL+A in file-browser window to select all anim frames,

deselect first frame

OK

All anim frames are imported

Click on Image Points, set image point outside sprite box area

close Edit Image

------------ At this point the first R80 version CTD-ed.

Precisely set pivot and rotate sprite to match position of rotating level..

this i could only do flawlessly with R79.4

WinXP SP3:

Import first frame of sprite. Set pivot point well out of sprite-box.(needed for rotary compo)

Rename sprite.

Position sprite's pivot point on the center of circular-level.

Import other 20 frames of that sprites animation.

Crash To Desktop.

Rolling back to 79.4 in order to finish entry.

Good to know.:)
