  • I managed to get around £40 so far with my Bowls app. I released as a free version initially, when I updated it I created a LITE and paid version at Android minimum price. I have 80 downloads for the paid version since published on 6th March. My free version has almost 4000k downloads since last October. I did setup Admob / Mopub in my LITE version a months ago. That has only generated estimated £8 since then. I have not setup payments out for either yet and the Abmod you need to get alot higher amount before they pay anything out.

    Not amazing success story but as a C2 is just a spare time hobby I am fairly happy with the results so far =P

    I've not spend any money on advertising / promoting kind of thing. Just on a few bowls forums posting details of my free app. It comes up fairly high on the Google store listing now when on Sports games / New Paid Apps =)

    Any thing I get from it I just see as some spending money =)

  • This may end up more of an experiment than a game depending on success but I decided to try and make an isometric offroad racer like Super Skid marks / Super Off Road etc.

    Spent a couple of hours trying to figure things out and made a little progress. Little buggy and isometric stuff so confusing!!!!

    Graphics at the moment are very basic just for testing the concept / mechanics of isometric as I've not tried an isometric game before!

  • Would this kind of thing be possible on Construct 2?

    I've been trying to think how to implement physics for balls / objects on a slope in isometric view. I saw a 2.5d plugin thread on construct classic that managed to get a player to walk up a slope in isometric?

    I've searched the forums and not seen anything I can use to help.

    Cheers

  • Ill have to look into web socket then my game is turn based. I set my game up to work with peerjs then realised that doesn't work in cocoonjs :p oops!

  • Tried just a simple test with the multiplayer for CocoonJS. Just adding the object into a game makes it not load when testing with latets CocoonJS launcher. I get an error:

    I'll try posting on Ludei site too but I dont seem to ever get help there

  • Sorry I am too impatient and posted while it was uploading. It shows on the web store now, so not long until on Android store viewable on phones. Very early output to get it out there on play. Lots to add to improve =)

    Was hoping to add online but I don't know if the online plugin just released will work on CocoonJS. I can try though!!

    It will definitely be a challenge to upgrade the CPU AI to make it intelligent!!

  • Just uploading to Google Play. Free tactical soccer game

  • Hi,

    I am looking at if it is possible to make an isometric racer with jumps in C2?

    Something like Super Skidmarks or Rock'n'Roll Racing:

    I've managed to follow tutorials to get a isometric racer working that is flat, but I can't think of a way to get jumps working properly? (Other than having is as a fake animation)

    Enjoy!!

  • Construct2 is great. It has some limitations with mobile app making at the moment but improvements do get made and its not like you can't make a game from it for mobile. Just have to wait for a few features to come along thats all. I used klick and play to MMF2 for years and a few hours in C2 and I've never looked back except for extracting some old graphic file =) The events editor etc. is alot clearer and easier to use I think on C2 =)

    Not to mention the price difference plus a trip to the forum search usually sorts out any help needed =)

  • Thanks for the replies. Looking at the example I got a good understanding and managed what I was after =)

  • Try Construct 3

  • Hi,

    I am trying to work out which sprite is nearest to a certain object at any given time and then store the co-ordinates of that sprite. Currently I have tried two options as below. The first one it will give the co ordinates of the last sprite moving. The other attempt only stores the first sprite.

    All of the 8 sprites I want to check are bowls and each one is its own separate sprite, not a clone etc..

    They are all added to a family together called collision including the small yellow jack. I'm sure its probably easy when you know how!

    My aim is to work out which bowl is closest to the jack so the computer AI can work out if to bowl above or bellow the middle block.

    Any help would be appreciated!!
