  • Thanks sqiddster for the suggestions, some good ideas there that I will have a play with.

    It would be nice to have an inbuilt option to easily handle this though.

  • I have recently been working on a retro styled game and have been having problems trying to recreate the look of an older console because C2 updates just too smoothly, now I am sure that one has not been said before ;)

    Anyway, I came to think that it would be pretty neat to have an update interval option that would allow you to set C2 to update at a lower framerate with regards to object positioning and frames animating and so on.

    This would also look great if you were trying to recreate an older cartoon animation style in a time when things were not quite so silky smooth due to the animators having to cut corners because of money\time constraints.

    Most people will probably wonder why this would be beneficial to them but I think that it would be a pretty small feature to add and would increase the overall charm of retro games.

    Thanks for reading.

    I` give it a try Potato and let you all know but it looks promising....

    OK, it works! Thanks Potato :)

    I`m surprised that no one else gets this though? It still happens with Firefox 16.0.1 Maybe something can be added to Construct 2 to counter this or is it down to the individual browser?

    Thanks again.

    Hi Ashley, while trying to find a possible cause of this problem for you I was playing Skygear-01 Destroyer in the Arcade and I noticed that the music only stutters until I press the fire button.

    I`m not sure whether it is because another sound effect is playing or it`s because I`m pressing a button down but for a few seconds the music plays fine and then it starts to stutter again until I repeat the process. As mentioned above I can provide a small video for you if needed.

    I am also controlling the ships movement with the keys but the music only plays concretely when I press fire so it must be something to do with another sound playing? Very weird indeed.

    Any ideas?

    Hi guys, OK, I have the latest drivers for all of my hardware so that is not the problem. I have also seen the problem on another Computer running Firefox, the only similarity is that we are both using a 64-Bit OS but Firefox version is 32-Bit I believe. Different soundcards though so it cannot be that. I`m on Vista the other Windows 7.

    I can send a small video or sound file to you Ashley if you would would like to hear what is happening. Just let me know.

    I do not want you to waste your valuable time on this however, I just wanted to point it out. If others are not having the same problem then please do not worry I`m sure that you have plenty to keep you busy.

    Firefox just updated to version 16 and the problem still exists for me. IE and Chrome work fine though.

    I`m not sure if this is worth looking into but I just wanted to mention it. I know that you have mentioned in the past that it is not a problem with C2 but if I was a first time buyer and did`nt know better it would stop me from making a purchase which would be a shame.

    I will see if I can find the cause of this.

  • I am confident that paths will be added in the future as they are such a useful feature and as stated previously are a very much requested addition for those who are used to Game Maker and other similar tools.

  • I agree, this would be a handy addition to have.

  • Hi Draspur, despite your points, all of which are valid, I still stand by my view that C2 is the best all in one `2D` solution for your money.

    I have tried each of the tools that you have mentioned over the years and despite each having their own individual strengths none of them allow me to create a 2D game with the ease and finesse as C2.

  • I just wanted to agree with what has already been said above. For what you are actually getting for your money, compared to the competition and the outstanding quality and support that Scirra provide, you really cannot get a better product for your money.

    I would also like to add that Scirra have always been really fair with announcing when they are going to increase their prices to give potential buyers a chance to get a good deal which is something that most other companies would not do.

    At the end of the day I`m sure that they have reduced their prices as much as they possibly can for the end user but they also need to make a living, it`s really a lot of work to make something as great as C2.

    I`m just really thankful that C2 exists and that Ashley and Tom are such great guys.

  • Thanks Ashley, you`re correct of course :)

    May I ask why the project needs to be reopened for this to take effect?

    Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction, most appreciated.

  • Hello, just wanted to ask, is it possible to turn off the pixel blurring that happens to my nice crisp pixel art when it is in the C2 editor? At runtime it works fine as I toggle the relevant option (sampling if I recall) but this seems to have no effect in the editor.

    Could this be added if it is not possible?

    Thanks for reading.

    Sorry, forgot to mention that the image is crisp until scaled or rotated. It would be nice if it could retain it`s sharpness at all times.
