We've hired an artist for a new project at $70p/h. The artist has a very specific style and has loads of experience in the advertising industry, so that's as high as I would go.

It sounds like the artist is going to be pretty integral to the game though, so to get her invested in the project I'd recommend a rev share as others have suggested.

episuarez if such a scenario happened wouldn't you still have a local backup?

We use BitBucket with Git Extensions here at Mudvark and also have a local external hard drive with automated daily backups. Git has been integral to Mortar Melon's development - there's been a number of times where it's saved our lives.

Awesome man, congrats on the submission! I'll be at IndieCade so I've got my fingers crossed for you :D

This should be done using Open Graph image meta tags and I think it's assumed that users will be editing the outputted HTML themselves. I'd recommend adding it after the export then ensuring you don't overwrite the index.html file.

Looks like you need to update your device:

�File not found� error when deploying to Windows Phone 8

Thanks Ashley for the detailed reply.

10fps is an extreme example to illustrate the problem. A more realistic scenario is when framerate drops to about 20 with a complex level on ARM-based Windows 8 devices.

What's strange is that it's not erratic physics behaviour, but more a cap on the maximum velocity. I can never get objects to 'teleport' on a low frame-rate because they can never go fast enough. At 10fps the maximum VelocityX I can get is 1000, even if I apply a million.

Here's a video that should explain better. Each replay is a lower frame-rate (the first is 60, last is 10).

"I guess we could add a maximum time step for Physics, to be 1/30. So it's framerate independent down to 30 FPS, then slows down the motion beneath that."

Can I edit the generated source to take a peek at how this affects things?

sqiddster framerate dependent works fine, but with a target fps of 30 on mobile devices I don't want everything to be in slow-mo ;)

Jase00 Interesting, that looks like it could be related.

rogueNoodle I thought this was the cause too, but the effect is the same at around 15fps. I also removed the 0.1 dt cap from the generated source to no avail. I also don't see a 'slow-mo' effect, but a decreased force effect instead.

Framerate independent :)

michael what features are missing from the official object?

Hi all,

This is an issue I've had since the beginning of Mortar Melon dev that I've tried to work around.

The below image shows the resulting VelocityX after applying a VelocityX of 1900 in a trigger. This works as expected on a higher framerate, but on the lower framerate it caps at just over 1000. This also occurs when applying an impulse or force on a trigger.

If I then go and increase 1900 to a much larger number, the cap on velocity stays the same when running at a lower framerate, whilst the higher framerate behaves as expected.

I previously attributed slight variations in physics forces to being framerate independent and the waverings of delta time. However with a capped velocity I can't see a way to work around this.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Ashley?

Ah looking through it seems you want to make some sort of website/game hybrid. As long as the games are the content, and not peripheral to the content, then I guess C2 makes sense.

I was suggesting Edge as an alternative to C2 for this type of project, though if they are games and not just visual effects, C2 makes sense.
