  • I really hope that you can implement these features in the future Ashley as they would be a great addition in the sound department. So many possibilities...

    Is it just me or is sound playing incorrectly again in Firefox 15.0.1? Everything is crackly\stuttering, especially music.

    Chrome is working well as usual.

    Every game is ruined for me in the Arcade because of this. How annoying!

    BTW, I realise that this is probably nothing to do with C2, just wanted to see if others are having the same problem.

    Could put off potential buyers if they are getting the same problem.

  • This looks awesome! I was actually going to suggest adding some sort of capability to C2 to allow for these sort of animations. Hopefully it will live up to its potential and could be just what C2 needs in the animation department. I know from experience that these things are not easy to make but this will definitely benefit all of us.

    Please keep up the great work. BTW, how much do you estimate the program that produces these animations will cost? Is it $25 for the editor plus plug-ins at an extra cost? Also, by very soon, do you expect a pre-Christmas release?

    Thanks for reading. And thanks for making a great tool! Cannot wait to try it. This could be a brilliant addition to C2 if done right.

  • I am trying to recommend C2 to as many friends as possible as it is such a great product but they always say, that being complete beginners to game making, that they will find it way too tough to learn despite my efforts to prove otherwise.

    So, just out of interest, are there any complete beginners reading who have managed to create something in the Arcade that I can point my friends to?

    As I have previous experience I do not qualify but it would be interesting to hear from a complete novice who has created something that they never thought would be possible before they tried C2.

    Thanks for reading.

  • I`ve been using Construct 2 for a while now and never got around to posting here so I just wanted to say "hello" to everyone.

    I`ve been into game making for a long time now but always found that programming killed my creativity, art is my passion. I always wanted a tool that would allow me to make professional looking games without having to get too technical. Thankfully, that is now a reality and game making can finally be fun again.

  • Hello, can I just ask, are true fluid physics planned in a future update of Construct 2? I see that GameMaker Studio has them, see here.

    It would be cool to see our favourite program support this feature too.

    Also, is it possible to simulate reverse gravity for things like balloons already in C2 whilst still maintaining normal gravity for other objects.

    Thanks for reading.

    Jason.

  • I get a constant 60 fps in FF but there is a slight stutter once in a while that I do not get in Chrome or IE.

    The games run excellently but it is a minor annoyance.

  • Hi all,

    I just wanted to ask, to anyone using Firefox, do you get a silky smooth framerate? In both IE and Chrome my C2 games run flawlessly but still FF seems to have a slight stutter.

    Anyone else get this or is it just me? All drivers are up to date.

    Thanks for reading.

  • No problem, thank you for the great work that you do.

  • Hello, yesterday when Ashley posted his latest blog about graphics card drivers he sounded a little down beat so I thought I`d take a moment just to let him and Tom know what a top notch job that they are doing with regards to making one of the best tools that I have ever used.

    Construct 2 is a really special program to me. It is not the first tool of its kind that I have ever used on the PC, far from it. In my quest as an artist to create my own games I have tried several programming languages and just as many game making tools to realise my ideas but none so far have allowed me to do that despite their promises. Many of these were buggy and the ones that had potential were never updated or their creators never listened to their users. Scirra is different...

    I have been thoroughly impressed since day one by both Ashley and Tom. They both seem like really passionate guys who go out of their way to keep everybody here happy. They stay at the forefront of technology and it shows both in Construct 2 and on their website which is fantastically maintained with informative blog posts that give us some fun facts about how and why C2 works the way it does and an insightful up to date manual (which is a huge plus after using some other programs that have bare bones manuals or none at all!).

    Ashley keeps Construct 2 updated on a regular basis without fail and every update is a joy to download just to see what exciting new stuff he has put in for us to play with. Bugs are squashed with each update and you are never left feeling that a problem will be left unresolved. Unlike other developers Scirra also takes the time to listen and you genuinely feel that if you suggest a feature to them that they agree would be beneficial to others then it will be added.

    The more I use the program the more I can see how cleverly it has been thought out behind the scenes, it really is a fantastic, solid piece of work and I cannot wait to see what comes next. After coming from other languages I can truly appreciate the amount of hard work that has been done for us that would be a nightmare for the less technically minded. Things like physics, smooth delta timing and so on have all been taken care of so you never have to worry about these things which is a god send. I hope Scirra will continue to knock down the barriers for those of us who would rather be creating our games then having to solve endless problems. Many creative types simply do not want to learn complex mathematics in my experience (or simple cannot grasp it despite endlessly trying) and C2 goes to great lengths to make sure that we do not have to. Hopefully more features will be added to shield us from these things as I believe this to be one of C2 biggest assets.

    For the first time I can honestly say that creating a game of my own in now truly within my grasp, thank you Ashley, thank you Tom for creating such an awesome product and a great place on the web.

    I`m looking forward to see what you guys do next...

  • Same, OGG.

  • Thanks for the replies. Strangely it works fine in Firefox but not Chrome (latest version). I have tried changing the order of events and setting -50db as suggested but that had no effect.

    No big deal just wondered what may be causing this.
