It looks great, well done!

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

Lately I've been experimenting with showing higher resolution graphics (a title image for example) in tandem with standard pixel resolution graphics. I know this can be accomplished with scaling up gameplay layers, but when I try to scale up my HUD layers they don't display where I have them laid out.

I don't know if I'm explaining that correctly, but if anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

nope, that's what I did. Ill have to re-read about it in this, see if it has what i'm missing to unlock terrain. thank you for your help!

what kind of results are you getting?

ahhhh yes, i'm not talking about the 2d side scrolling portion, I'm just talking about the overworld map. I'm having issues getting my higher elevation stuff working like mountain tops and such. I have the generation and autotile working fine. The issue is, after averaging each cell's value to be the average of the cell around them, I can still end up with things like mountain tops inside water, instead of being surrounded by a forest first. I can't figure out what I'm missing to get the transition between tile types working. I usually run the function to average out the array cells 1-4 times to get a good looking map

Maybe this isn't perlin noise, but this is literally what I did:

> > mudmask Any chance you've got pointers on how to setup mountains/trees like how you did on your maps? I've got everything working great, minus decorations like that. Each tile is set to a random number, and all numbers have been averaged to the tiles around it to create some sort of altitude effect. But I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Any pointers are appreciated!

I thought that setting an array full of random values, then averaging each tile by the values around it was perlin noise? That concept I understood pretty easily, i'll have to see if I can find something for Perlin Noise, but it looks like it's been replaced by Simplex Noise?

Are you using the perlin noise terrain generation method? If not, look it up - it's essentially what I do!

From Kitten Catcher, which can actually be played here:

And another simple game I'm hoping to finish up this week:

Salman_Shh That's pretty cool - I was actually trying to figure out how to do that as well.

I did end up filing a bug report...

github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/3588

Pretty problematic as a lot of my users are on smart devices, and a lot of them are iphones :\</p>

same boat as you man, just gettin back into it. And I left off with workign on my own version of what you're doing here! Similar concept as my game, 3D overworld map, but digs into a 2D sidescroller. You can see the sidescroller part here - youtube.com/watch

Let me know if you're interested in working together, could always use a helping hand

Looks pretty cool! Thanks for rehashing this too. Suddenly a lot of folks have been showing up and asking me about old projects. I guess it's time to get to work.

mudmask this is exactly what I'm looking for (mostly the island/landmass generation part). For my game, I plan on generating a new worldmap per campaign. What ever happened to this project? Did you turn it into a template on the store?

Ah. I hate to say this, but I stepped away from game design for a bit.

But I'm back at it. And this is a project that I will once again rehash. You can check out some of my smaller releases on my own page, mountgamer.com.
