  • Also... what do you guys think of that name? "Journey Galactia" ? Going to purchase a domain, but I just want to be sure it doesn't sound lame...

    It's awesome. Go for it, but do a bit of research of trademarks before going 100% forward. Still, it sounds right.

    Closest sounding thing to it is Battlestar Galactica and it's pretty far away.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Somebody, I agree with kamizoto on the duration statement. It shouldn't be uber hard to add another extra parameter where we can input a time measure - a simple "screenshake every X seconds" parameter.

    Currently I'm using a Function for this since I kinda despise variables =P http://i.imgur.com/vIKICqQ.png

    I'm no programmer so my logic sucks, but if you add that 3rd parameter, I can get rid of the Function "object".

  • Inb4 Metro UI.

    Please, don't let it be a Metro UI. Please. For the love of GabeN.

  • Nothing can prevent anyone from using a "C2 store". Rex already did one, there's another one in the works with live preview...

    But yes, this should be done. Currently having to browse forums (!) to download plugins is archaic. We need a tool to browse, click a button, download, done. Even restarting Construct is already annoying.

    Honestly, I don't care if Ashley or Tom need to check for bugs, it shouldn't even be their jobs.

    We are the costumers. We should do whatever we can do to make OUR projects easier.

  • Sorry if this is wrong here - is there any kind of minifier that DOESN'T use Java? If so, can it be integrated into C2?

    I never install Java on my system, but I want to minify scripts on release. As a last resource, I'd do it manually when the game is finished, but I'd rather test it before.

    Thanks!

  • Economic simulators/RPG are hard to do on any engine. It's completely doable on Construct 2, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend it.

    You're better off using a "more free" framework... Unity is OK but you need to struggle a bit with 2D (not a mess, just small workarounds). If you know about coding, I'd either grab Unity, Haxe Flixel or something free that can export to anything.

    Actually, now that you mentioned it, it's doable on Ren'Py. You can set any number of variables and checks, and customize the UI to be more like an economic sim, and not a dating sim. Check games like Loren The Amazon Princess (I think), they have quite strong RPG/Economic Sim elements. Just replace that anime things with actually useful images for your game.

    Mind that Life Quest 2 has tons of "game feel/juicy" settings. I think that isn't doable on Ren'Py. If you want to have that kind of professional quality, research if the engine you're going to use allows easy integration with "tweening" (look it up). Here with construct 2 we have EasyTween. Still, I wouldn't recommend C2 for that. Ren'Py is easier, but it will feel worse.

  • YES YES YES YES.

    This is a must. Currently, plugins addons and things like that on C2 are a complete and total mess.

    We absolutely need this tool. I know a lot about UX and UI design, I can give you a big hand at making this tool useful for everyone Ize - PM if you need help with this.

  • First, watch how Prince of Persia was made: http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1014634/Cl ... -PRINCE-OF

    Then, translate that knowledge into Construct 2. It's doable, but it's extremely hard.

  • Congrats on the release and everything! I don't like platformers, but I dig the art direction =)

  • Can you add install instructions? It's a PITA having to look where to put these files everytime, considering there are 3 methods to install "plugins" =\</p>

  • Problem Description

    This issue happens only with Bars that have clickable icons - Tilemap and Layers. When the user narrows the Bar, the icons disappear. Images provided:

    THIS IS A GIF, WAIT FOR THE ANIMATION

    Attach a Capx

    No capx needed for these issue.

    Description of Capx

    No capx needed for these issue.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Open Construct 2 and start a new project
    • Make Layers and Tilemap Bars visible
    • Narrow them enough to make their icons not visible.

    Observed Result

    Icons are not visible, so it's impossible for the user to click them.

    Expected Result

    Either icons get wrapped or an horizontal scroll bar appears to navigate. I did a quick mockup:

    Operating System and Service Pack

    Windows 7 SP1

    Construct 2 Version ID

    196.2

  • Needs tons of updates, man. Dreaming Sarah, Star Nomad, Insanity's Blade and Luna Shattered Dream are on Steam, Slaughter has been greenlit ages ago and ROCKETS FUCKING EVERYWHERE recently.
