I made this yesterday in about 2 hours (from Art to programming)

dl.dropbox.com/u/1627736/Construct2/Wolf%20Run/index.html

It's not much but I wanted to come up with ANYTHING that looked finished.

I also have this one as the first test I made with C2

Another game I made in about 3 hours... Wanted to try the Paralax reset and continuous movement to see how it goes. Doesn't really have a name.

It's not much. I know. Sorry.

Bump for help please ? :{ I don't need the final thought, sugestions would already help alot, I'm just stuck and I can't think of anything else than templates of maps in diferent layers that connect eachother through door events...

Hey guys, what's up?

I was wondering. Latelly I've been studying Game Design and the possibility of creating interesting mechanics. I've came to the realization that games are more interesting when they have either (or both) Customization and Randomic maps. Makes players think their tale in that little world is unique. I'm Okay with the movement mechanics, shoting, bombs and everything else. Although I must say one thing really troubles me.

How would a rogue map generator work in C2? (Not tiled, I mean.)

Say I have 300 layers, each of them with one template of map with enemies, chests, obstacles, etc. [The items out of the chests would be chosen by a random number generating event that triggers once you open it (with a key) and drop out a pre-defined "pack" of items.] Once you reach a door you'd get send to the map "below" (would acord to the minimap), meaning on the start of each floor the program would have to create a simple logic to put together adjacent maps (layers) so that the door A leads to B and B leads back to A in a chain of many other rooms.

This is what I'm using as a reference (If you've ever played Binding of Isaac, it's become one of my favorite games)

So, could someone that understands more of programming than me enlighten me about this system inside the Construct2 Event system logic ? :{

I got a Bamboo Tablet.. Do you use something similar?

I'm far from being good to draw on tablet ^^

I can't see myself getting good on tablet unless its something like a Clintiq wx 12 (or the newer model <3) where i draw on the screen - not on a tablet and watch a screen..

Yuh man! I use Wacom Bamboo Connect. I had the option of buying the Intuos but I thought Connect was so cool and green! :D I want a Cintiq too though :{ It's way too expensive here in Brazil. It'd be cheaper to buy a car.

These look really fantastic! Great job, I'll have to keep your contact info for later use :-P

Thanks alot man! Haha please do. If I can do anything to help, just ask! :P

LemonDROP: Have you tried Xara Designer 7 Pro. Its super cool. I bet it will be a breeze to you. xara.com/us

I just tried it out, I'm not into drawing vector, if I were to use it I'd just stick to flash. It's just not my thing. But thanks for the sugestion!

hmm noob question do you use pen/hand or a mouse to draw these??

Both xD I use a Pen-mouse (Tablet) to draw these. only a couple of them were scanned before finalized, I just draw the sketch fully digital.

Fantastic art! I envy you man! <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thank you =D It'd be greater if I had them on a game. >.<"

By the way which software do you use? Congrats man you are really talented. Keep the good work.

I use Photoshop and often times I scratch Corel Painter for some textures.

Thanks alot Aaron! XD I sure as hell am trying. I'm using C2 since release 67 but I'm still getting the hang of it. Once as good as I want to be nothing will stop me from making more and more games! >:3

Beautiful artwork, man. Do you have any finished, playable product?

Not finished, I made something to practice (even the game art itself) but I never intended to make it an actual game.

There's a links for it right here.

Nice color palette.

Thanks alot! =D the secret is to never use black.

Top notch stuff right there.

Thanks alot! I'm realy glad you like it =)

Ok so,

I'm venturing into the world of development and C2 was so far the best program and I'm falling in love with it! =D

That aside, I was always a game artist. I oftenly aimed for quality artwork since I'm always so frustrated when I download a nice game that looks terrible :{ I mean, if the gameplay is perfect, why wouldn't the graphics reflect that ? So I'm always designing something here and there. The intention of this topic is to share with you guys what I know, maybe some tutorials (if I get the time) but surelly alot of my work will be here. Also, if you have any questions, do ask! I'm no professional but I swear I'll try my best to help you out.

When I try to open my project on Construct 2 I get a message displaying

"Root layout node is not 'c2layout'

Under element: c2uistate

In C:\-path-\Projects\Alpha Phase.xml

The file may be invalid. Try checking the file in a text editor (projects are saved in XML format.)"

Did I just lost my project ? What do I do ? :(
