  • I have a PC. A friend wanted to test my game on his Mac. So I figured it was a good time to test out the NW.js export for Mac as I am planning on selling this game on Steam.

    I exported, uploaded to my Googled drive, shared the link. Friend said it didn't work and sent me this screenshot:

    Sent my friend a link to play a web version since he wanted to play, not troubleshoot. Without having a Mac what is the best way to look into this?

  • American here (sorry), so yesterday was 4th of July, which equals fireworks.

    So I had a little fun with Construct Particles and created some simple fireworks:

    loubagel.itch.io/daves-fireworks

    Note: I've had several people mention or ask me to put them in color. I went with the 1 bit theme for this one as I'm working on a game right now with that same theme (click the dude drinking coffee to link to that game)

  • Thanks TheRealDannyyy

    Good point on not listing them too high and having people not purchase. But also don't want to list too low and have buyers have a bad experience (negative reviews, refunds, etc).

    I've also purchased games that have too high specs for my current computer and just gave them a try to see if it is still playable at all. A lot of the times it is completely playable just a few issues, for example choppy at cut scenes, but didn't bother me because I had worse expectations going in.

  • Thank you OddConfection

    I may end up starting with what you have listed here and then tweaking upon user testing. Do you mind linking your game? That way I can compare..but also curious.

  • Hello,

    I'm working on a game to sell on Steam. Setting up the Steam page you are required to list minimum/recommended system requirements for Windows and MacOS (and Linux too if uploading).

    Has anyone uploaded to Steam before? I don't use any external plugins so I'd figure that no matter what you do inside Construct the export has the same system requirements?

    Thought I'd ask here before trying to do testing myself.

    Thanks,

    Lou Bagel

    I played the app but I couldn't figure out how to exit from the pc using my gamepad. Dave just sat there in the chair.

    Ah yes, I need to update the control support, thank you! Right now space bar is the only action that can select a menu option (from computer, bookshelf, record player, etc)

    About

    Dave-Man is a game by Lou Bagel with music by Scowsh. You play as Dave who desperately needs his coffee before interacting with any co-workers. With Pac-Man inspired gameplay you must collect all the coffee beans and make it to the coffee maker without getting caught by the office “Chatty Cathy”. Your success in this mission will affect your mood and productivity during the day which will determine your paycheck. Take your money home and do some online shopping however you please...but don’t neglect the missus!

  • Everything seems to save like normal but when opening up a project sometimes I notice changes I made last time I worked on it don't seem to be present.

    So I look at the dates that the files were last modified and there are auto-backup files that have later times than the capx file.

    If I notice it right away I can load the backup but if I don't then it is as if hours of hard work just disappeared. I can pull up a backup file but then I have to find all the changes I made in the project and reconcile the two versions.

    This is very infuriating.

  • 1) I assure you I did not save AS, I try to keep very organized.

    2) I DID lose something. I know minutes vs days may seem like I should look on the brighter side, but with a complicated project where you spend a lot of time testing and fixing you may not realize for some time that something you fixed got lost.

    3) The core issue is still there—I click save and it shows that it is saved but it is not. A basic necessity for any program you pay for that you are trying to build a business around.

    I appreciate you trying to be positive here but don't want this to be trivialized as I'm considering taking my future business elsewhere. It could be something I did or just an issue on my computer but I'm 100% positive I did not select SAVE AS instead of SAVE.
