I'm struggling with getting Chinese fonts to work for my game. Apparently — doesn't work with Chinese? It also seems to be nigh impossible to convert regular Chinese fonts like google's Noto Sans into a C2 friendly webfont? Anyone got any experience with this?

On the left is how it's supposed to look, and is how it renders on my own setup where I have the normal font already installed. On the right is how it looks on all other systems. The webfont kit I downloaded from google doesn't seem to work.

Any insight/tips on how to deal with this is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi everyone. Some of you may be familiar with the C2 developed rhythm-action game Klang that I released back in 2016. The sequel is well on its way, and the demo can be played for free until monday.

Klang 2 Steam page & demo download!

It worked properly when I tried doing it now. Cheers!

With C2 I work with multiple monitors, but with C3 I can't move any columns outside the main editor tab? Anyone experienced this? Is this a restriction with C3?

I've been looking around, and I struggle finding a concrete answer on the best approach to certain challenges with online.

1. Is there a "best way" to make a login system for a single session style game? Host generates password, peers join game. Life moves on after game's over.

I see some recommend the photon plugin, but it's C2 only? What's the best C3 based approach?

2. Is it safe to rely on Scirra's signalling server, or is it common to make your own server? This is for a client gig, I don't see it taking much traffic.

Cheers

Oh man this would've helped a ton in developing both Klang and Klang 2. Looking forward to seeing how it develops!

Problem Description

I am in the process of adding gamepad support to my touch based game KlangM. I've come across an issue with my game's pause feature. I pause my game by turning the time scale to 0, relying on that all following delta time expressions will return 0. This works as intended when pausing through a touch or keyboard input. The following delta time calculations return 0.

However when the pause is performed through a gamepad input, the delta time value reported the current tick isn't 0 even with the timescale confirmed to be 0.

This messes with a lot of carefully laid out game logic. While I can work around this by switching event 1 and 2 around in this isolated capx, that isn't doable in my main project. Is there an easy fix for this?

Attach a Capx

Description of Capx

Blank layout with a text object displaying the current time scale.

3 events:

1 - Hit spacebar, tap/click or press a gamepad button to turn the time scale to 0. Effectively pausing the game

2 - Adds dt to timescale and updates the text object with the current value

3 - Hit return key to reset the time scale to 1

Steps to Reproduce Bug

Push space or tap/click. See that the time scale is permanently set to 0.

Push return key to reset the scale to 1.

Push any gamepad button. See that time scale is set to 0, but will continue to rise back to 1. This breaks my game's pause logic.

Observed Result

Delta time works as expected with touch and keyboard input, but not with gamepad.

This happens in all browsers.

I'm planning on using the snapshot feature to make a seamless transition between 2 layouts, however from experience, loading image from URL will store said image in the untouchable memory cache.

Should I expect memory use to increase for every time this transition is made in-game, as the canvas snapshot will be renewed each time, or can I update the sprite with no worries?

Cheers.

Further development of a fake 3D cutscene I'm working on. No video used. It's all in-engine.

Woah spiritual successor to Ghosts'n goblins? Great job! Looks like a game worthy of inclusion in the hall of fame. I'm also very curious about your process of hitting all consoles on launch? Is MP2 Mathias using his magic?
