I am working on another game and I have a question on region size. I am making a platformer puzzle game and the region of view is too small. I want the player to see the whole map.

I mean having a small field of view can work but I don't wanna put a lot of work into something for it not to work game play wise.

Thx. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I recently had to ditch a project i was working on. It was a game purely based on sine movements. I thought it would go far but i realized there wasn't much game play going on. Had to resort to my backup plan which im currently working on with a couple of kids from the boys and girls club. Almost finished with it.

Good stuff. Fade is kinda weird but thx for the help. Gonna try and implement it.

This helped a lot. THANK YOU. I always wondered if there was a way to not have to rewrite all those events lol. Makes my life a heck of a lot easier.

I guess i will enter the contest then. Im working on another project i think is better but realistically i won't be finish with it by march 2012 unless i do nothing but all nighters lol. Thx for the info python.

Make your game pop with colors that appeal to players.

If you haven't already been to pixel prospector i encourage all game designers to check it out. Its how i found out about construct.

Thanks   <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

woot this works. Isfalling is great.

lol while messing around I figured out how to make your player bounce when he jumps on a target.

add another action for the player and set the platform vector y to -500 or what ever desired result you want.

So ive been messing around with construct for about 2- 3 weeks now and i decided to finally make a game. The game i made is called the legend of bloo. You control a cow that has 2 different laser beam eyes. 1 to save cows and the other to destroy meteors. How many cows can you save in 60 seconds?

Im starting to know what my limitations and strengths are as a designer. I came to the conclusion that minimalism can be fun. My next game will be 5 times harder than the legend of bloo hehe. <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I actually wanna play it. Looks tight. brb hehe <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Hey no prob. I figured i share since people on this forum are so generous with there time and talents. Im gonna make a post on all the cool links i found on gamasutra in the game design section.

I also found an article on gamasutra explaining racing and track mechanics. Anyone can check it out if your interested. I think its pretty interesting. Before i read it i thought racing games weren't really planned design wise.
