If your characters skin is grey and the clothes are colours, you get away with a simple adjustHSL effect and playing with the hue to change blue to red

Ah, I misread - you could try something like this?

You can make it even cleaner - one action:

Following this - I've often used the method described by Newt, however if performance drops or even hiccups the illusion is ruined.

Interested if there's a better way.

The GFX plugin is very interesting - what exactly is happening that causes the game to double its frame rate? The particles are being capped?

Would be interested to see the same project with the new beta Fengist

Great example dop2000 - my home PC has a RTX 2080Ti, 32GB RAM and an i9-9900k processor - past 1000 ants the fps drops to sub 20 before falling to 1-2. Definitely something happening there.

I don't have time to run the experiment right now, but is a linear drop in performance, or is there a key point that everything goes awry?

Interesting find regardless, here's hoping the fix results in an engine wide soup up

EDIT//

Just ran the test (damn curiosity) can confirm test 3 and 4 turned the game into a PowerPoint presentation past 200 ants

The message typically has a sentence after that which elaborate specifically what you were rejected for.

Almost always it is to do with money or gambling - does your app have microtransactions?

Agreed with Newt - the solution is to crowdsource a plugin. We could look at getting a form of community pot/ plugin bounty going?

The issue as far as I can see is that then we'd have the following problems:

A) Both Scirra and Spine could disavow the plugin as being developed by a third party

B) We would be beholden to the third party to update this plugin

C) The cost of outsourcing programming at a fair hourly rate would far eclipse the cost of the tools themselves

I guess we can only appeal to the cold heart of capitalism and hope that an enterprising dev sees that there's market demand for this plugin (and that he/she then sells it for a compelling price)
