  • Well, you guys deserve some time off. Thanks for the update though. :)

  • Your welcome.

    By the way welcome to the world of C2!

  • I know this thread is getting old, but just to add to Kyatric's comment...

    Chrome is great desktop browser but on Android device I have found it to be pretty useless.

    I use Chrome on desktop, a Galaxy 10.1 Tablet (using latest Chrome beta), and also an iPad mini, for testing games.

    One game I am working on:

    Desktop: Solid 60 FPS sound always works.

    Galaxy: 10-20 FPS and the sound mostly never works.

    iPad mini: 55 + FPS and the sound always works!

    So I think it is not C2 that is at fault....

  • dan013,

    When you purchase a licence you get a free Assets pack.

    To get the assets pack:

    1) Login on the Scirra site

    2) At the top of the window click your name

    3) From the dropdown list select Your Purchases

    4) Then select the Get Assets button

    In the downloaded package you find a folder called Jungle Platformer which has all the images for the Jungle platform tutorial.

    Hope this is what you are looking for....

  • Hi ashleymari,

    You need to add the mouse object to your project.

  • Sorry no .capx file (could not reproduce in cut down project):

    Steps to reproduce:

    I get this error trying to run one of my projects using LAN preview in Safari (iPad mini)

    This was happening in R136 as well. I was going to report it but tried R137 to see if it was still happening.

    Note: If I go back to R135 the game works fine.

    Observed result:

    Javascript error!: DOM Exception

    1: Index or size was negative, or greater than the allowed value. 192.168.0.2/50000/Sprite_plugin.js, line 675 (col

    undefined).

    This is either a bug in Construct 2 or a problem in a third party plugin or behaviour - please report it to the developer.

    Expected result:

    Just run the game.

    Browsers affected:

    Safari: on iPad min: yes

    Operating system & service pack:

    Windows 8 Pro

    Construct 2 version:

    R137

  • I never had any problems with vista, but win7 is heaps better, and win8 is awesome.

    Would definitely recommend win8, C2 runs just fine, and sound is no problem.

  • Leaving the licence model as-is is definitely a preferred option, and is great for the majority of C2 users at the moment I would imagine.

    Based on their current model, I believe Scirra is not expecting buckets of money from every single customer.

    Their price range is fair, and will allow many new-comers to come on board.

    As long as the user base keeps growing enough I imagine they will keep the status quo.

    But if they ever need to rethink their sales model, I think they would keep their motto in mind - 'Construct 2 is a game maker for Windows that lets everyone create amazing games.' - and remember not everyone has plenty of money.

    Yeah, I haven't checked out their subscription service - just wondering if you get to keep using what you already have if you don't renew the subscription, with Adobe I would expect the answer is no.

    I will check it out later....

  • I am all for feeding developers.

    DevComponents develop DotNetBar - a whole bunch of tools for use in building applications using VS - excellent tool VERY competitively priced.

    Their competitors are in the $1000's price range, but DNB is in the $100's.

    It's a yearly subscription that costs $264 for single licence when you first buy (299 with source code), and then somewhere around $100 off to renew your subscription. The great thing with their pricing model is that even if you don't renew for many years you still get the discount when you decide to renew.

    Like Scirra, they are constantly releasing updates and bug fixes (usually every Friday), they have a very active forum, and they always fix bugs as soon as possible.

    Scirra could use a similar model and I would be more than happy to support it. Maybe have a similar system that they have now, free version, and personal and business licence priced accordingly.

    But always stay competitively price - GM and the like are definitely over priced.

    Just think of Adobe - do you like them, only want a relatively few well funded customers, or would you rather have the whole creative community using your tools.

  • MrHannahBee

    Are you using the latest version of Construct 2?

    Ashley fixed the UTF-8 encoding problem a few versions ago.

  • Hi all,

    Not sure if this thread is being updated or not, but anyhow my first game Mentality Break is out and about.

    It is a breakout clone type game with a bit of a difference. Also has some weather simulation stuff which runs best on PC...
