It's not illegal. It's called cybersquating. It sucks, it's a lowly style of making money. That's my opinion anyways. However, he does have under internet policies to let go of a domain when he wants. At a fee if he wants :|

sigh, at this time there is no robust networking architecture. There are however rudimentary tools

Socket

Websocket

Velotjay's photonclient

if speed is not a requirement you can use AJAX.

Yes agreed

Run Layout

Run Project :)

Try something like this

var disc.touchid = -1

var force = 200 // tinker with this to get it to feel right

onTouch disc

set disc.touchid = touch.touchid

isTouching

disc.touchid >= 0

--> disc force=distance(discxy, touchxyforid(disc.touchid))*force, disc angle = angle(discxy, touch.xyforid(disc.touchid))

onAnyEndTouch

disc.touchid = touch.touchid

--> disc.touchid = -1

A couple of things to keep in mind

1. Careful of logic flow in C2. If/Else work really well

2. Work with a layer that you can store all your assets. The reason for this. You need a Sprite object to exist on any layer to have definition. Then you can create the sprite. However, hiding your sprite can cause all sorts of pickedcount/count issues. So just create a serparate layer for assets and your good to go :)

I'm looking right now, and looking to see what is going wrong. I'll repost a fix in a bit.

Have you tried the introduction tutorials? Covers a lot of the basic starting principles.

I don't find the feature very annoying at all. I'm very grateful for it. I'm rather reliant that the disable/enable group is cross event sheet. Makes a lot of sense. Let's me divy up my groups across sheets rather than cluttering different factors into 1 sheet.

keep in mind that C2 is not an Object based language. It's event and string based. Since Group names are a string and not memory reference then all groups by that string name will be effected.

I usually don't touch beta's with 10 foot pole unless there is some critical feature I need. So I won't be looking at your caps :( So I can only offer a suggestion on how to do it.

give touchobject the var touchid at -1

onTouch touchobject

-touchobject.touchid = touch.touchid

-do object stuff

-touchobject.setframe(1)

on any touch end

touch.touchid = touchobject.touchid

• touchobject.touchid = -1
• do object stuff
• touchobject.setframe(0)

That should be what I think your looking for. I can't look at the capx to know for certain.

Also on a final note. I'm pretty sure "BUGS" are for C2 Engine bugs. What your posting right now sounds like developer logic bugs. Any help shuold be posted in the "How Do I"

This could be a bug, but it doesn't sound like a C2 engine bug.

Why not offer a walk stance button instead to replace the analog value.

Right - Normal Right

Double tap Right - Faster Right

press 'z' - stealth mode

• Right - slow stealth Right

OR

Right = Normal Right

Shift Right = Slow Right

this would be similar to what you would be trying with an analog to keyboard. This would be easier than counting the steps and would be more ready to implement for analog. As your suggesting would be to create a mechanic now that you might not use later.

However, if your going to do the "10 step".

OnMove

• startAlertTimer = -1

--> startAlertTimer = time + 500(time 10 steps)

• If startAlertTimer < time

--> AlertTriggerCheck

MoveOver

--> startAlertTimer = -1

that's just a suggestion of course

you can check for if the animation reaches a specific frame

OnRight

• If sprite.animationframe = 8(frame 8 for a step on the ground?)

--> alertStep++

• If alertStep = 10

--> alert Check

good luck :)

No, Ashley expressed hesitancy about pulically showing up coming features. Does want Game Salad, Game Maker Studio to know what features are coming. Then do them before hand.

I don't agree, but I do understand :(

However, he does hint what is on the todo list here and there :D

In my opinion, if it is a mass market platform (desktop, mobile, web)- it does not really matter where to publish. What does really matter is how you conceptualize and integrate your business model into the gameplay, which should be designed with your target group in mind.

You should consider this questions first:

- Core game play (e.g. if you wanna reach a mass market you should go for super-straight forward things, interactions should be clear, no frustrations, but the gameplay should be meaningful and with depth)

- Setting: gfx, story etc. There are some rules of thumbs like polished and straight gfx, progression indicators etc, no SciFi or fantasy.

- What is your "viral" strategy?

- What is your business model (how are you going to monetize)

- Metagames are the most important (user retention & engagament) There are some good examples of games in appstore, which are great because of very well designed metagames (e.g. Puzzle Craft)

There are many games in appstore and google play, but only may be 10-5% are vere well designed products. There are tons of nice and easy games, which are easy to pick, but the lack depth and you throw them away after playing them a couple of times. So I think there's always room for cool stuff, no matter how saturated the market is.   

Very well written and makes a lot of good points.

I don't agree with 'no fantasy or sci-fi'. We have Dragon Age and Mass Effect for the computer. On the App store for RPG's just past Minecraft stuff(which is not an RPG) there are a lot of fantasy games.

Otherwise I agree with your important points :)
