I will be posting a playable demo version of this game as soon as one is available. The demo will most likely be exclusive to this forums. My plan is to apply for steam green-light for this project.

Started working on particles today, I am getting closer to the effect I wanted but am not quite there yet. Added more graphics in game like lamp posts, candles, torches, fences and grass. My next step will be to look into lighting effects for the game.

Here is a visual update for you:

Ive added a bit of particles and animation to the street lamps, i have added a moon to the night sky and also some clouds as well.

Email received.

Just Got some real work done to the game So I no longer have to show everyone my "Mock-Ups". I have been working on the main menu, basic physics, player animations, platforms, collision detection, Basic GUI Elements and much more. So here is a screenshot to sort of update you all on the development progress.

DIM

Dim is the RPG-Platformer I am currently working on in construct 2. Dim will take you on a black horror adventure through all of the scary old folklore/tales you may or may not have read up on. The game will feature much more dark scenery and decorations than what I have created thus far. The picture is just a mock-up to give you a sort of preview of whats to come. None of the current graphics are final, everything is subject to change. My plan is to eventually have this designed for mobile but as of currently, it will only be developed for PC/Mac. I would also like to add this to steam when it is completed. If you are experienced in construct 2, want to help develop DIM and are willing to profit share than please contact me via PM or Email: cummingsniko@gmail.com

First Mockup

Temporary Main Menu Built In Construct 2

First Time Adding Graphics Into Construct 2- Added physics and basic plat-former features.

Quest 1- The Black Dog Of Hanging Hills

Your first quest begins when you pass through the hanging hills. The scenery here is quite dreadful, Hundreds of body's hanging from trees. Blood and worms and swarms of flies. I'm not so sure why anyone would even pass by here... But you did... Start your quest by speaking with a local of the hills. He will give you a bit of history on the hanging hills and send you on your way to observe the area. As your walking through here You notice a small black dog following you through the area. If you search the crates nearby you will find a piece of cooked meat. give this to the dog and he will go away. If you go back to the local and tell him about the black dog you saw, the man will start to panic and get upset. You ask him what all the worry was about, after all it was just a cute stray right? The man tells you about the legend of the black dog on hanging hills. He said "If you see the dog once it shall be for joy; and if twice, it shall be for sorrow; and the third time, You shall die.’” He laughed. “That’s just superstition.” You tell the man you don't believe in superstitions and move along. Wandering through the hills you see the dog again only this time he has an evil stare and hardened blood on his coat. You pay no mind and convince your self this is a mere coincident. When you arrive back at the main area of the hills something is different.. The local you have been talking to has vanished. This cannot be good. You start moving around looking for him but nothing, until you stumble across a trail of blood that is. You follow the trail which of course leads you to the locals dead corpse. When you examine the body you notice teeth and claw marks all over. Your only option is to head back t the hills no and guess what? This will be your third time you've seen the black dog. Fight time! Will you see death like the legend says? Or will your reign victorious?

Quest 2- The Jersey Devil

Your Second quest will begin when you talk to a Lost soul. He seems restless so you ask him if he needs any help. He replies with "I just died last week but for some reason am still here..." You tell him maybe there is something he still needs to do before he can move on from this plane. He says "Well actually, my dearest wife Daisy is pregnant and I need to know that our baby is okay. Will you make sure my baby is delivered healthy?" You tell the soul you will help him and venture off to find daisy. When you do find daisy in her shack she will be surrounded by women trying to help deliver the baby. You tell her about her husbands soul and daisy requests that you deliver the baby for her. Blood is squirting everywhere in the house but you manage to deliver the baby safe and sound. Daisy thanks you for your good deed and rewards you with a bit of gold. As soon as you are about to leave the house the door locks and you are trapped. Dark horror music begins to play and the room erupted with screams. The new born child grew at an enormous rate, becoming taller than a man and changing into a beast which resembled a dragon, with a head like a horse, a snake-like body and bat's wings. You must defeat the jersey devil to fully complete the quest.

Quests To Come:

-A Cows Head

-The Death Coach

-Ghosts of Ringwood Manor

-Jack and the Devil

-Lady in Lace

-Phantom Drummer

-Ogopogo, the Lake Monster

The actual development in construct 2 has not even begun. Currently I am trying to work on all the graphics and tiles needed for the game, and all of the lore and concept ideas. This way when it comes down to development I know what features i need incorporated.

-Feel free to add any suggestions, like features or certain scary folklore that you may know of!

this looks great!

So I have been reading about the tile-map object in construct 2 and am aware that I can use a tileset. But now im seeing posts about people using programs other than construct2 to create the map first, then importing it into construct2.. So i guess im just a bit confused about this all. I am creating an rpg, and having a bit of options and functionality for building my game world is important.

This would be nice.

Thanks guys! I have an other question. I would like to create a random number. I want a text object to display a random number within the parameters I set. So I would say like 1-100 and have it display within that brackets. Any advise?

Also do text object have on click event? I want text to be able to be clicked on like buttons.

Ive done the first part successfully but the second part when i click set to: I select the variable and it asks for a value. I don't want to reset the value of the variable. I want to display the value.

Im very new to coding and construct 2 so i apologize in advanced for the noob questions. First off My game start screen I want to have the player be able to type in a text box their name. Save it as a global variable and be able to display their chosen name later on in the main game screen. Then the rest of the game will be using very similar concepts. Their will be a lot of stats saved as global variables and displayed, changing often and staying updated. Ive created the global variables but am a little lost on how to get the text objects to display the variables value and also retrieving the input-ed text from the text box and using the players input-ed value as the new value of a global variable.
