So after two weeks of futzing about with the unknown that slowly became known (truth be told, this should have probably taken less time, but hey, I never said real life stopped happening), I managed to pop out something that could be called a game. It's playable at the following website:

really cool game, congrats

Then you also have crippling flaws.

Perhaps this could help.

Take a look at the tutorial that Ashley wrote about this topic.

I just bought So You Want to Be a Game Designer!: A Balanced Book of Practice and Theory by Merijn de Boer (http://merijndeboer.com/) because it was only $5 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GV4O9LK/). I'm surprised at the amount of information in it for a beginner's book, not only on C2 but on game design in general.

Now if someone would just write a book on how to do a RPG in Construct, I'd be happy (or should I do it myself?).

Regarding the RPG, Ashley wrote somewhat of a tutorial early this year that could be the start of an RPG book.

It's kind of hard to find out any information about what the 'LG G Watch' (https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/LG_G_Watch_Black_Titan?id=lg_g_watch_black&hl=en_GB) actually does. The apple watch at least looks like it will support apps. I just think it would be cool to have one of these again.

My 6-year-old wants one of these.

I guess it all comes down to whether they come with a web browser. Tinzen (Linux) and Google (Android) might support Chrome or Firefox, which supports HTML5. Apple (iOS) will ship with a browser, most likely Safari, which doesn't support HTML5 completely. Apple wearables might support Firefox. These wearables seem to be only extensions of another device, similar to Bluetooth headsets, which need to be paired to another device in order to work, or mere blood pressure devices (Google Fit).

I just found this website with royalty-free, charge-free assets. Please share with others.

Tom It seems I did not get my little badge! I know it's petty, but if there's a way to fix that, I sure would be one happier camper!

Speaking of badges, Tom, I didn't get mine either.

Ok, care to share anything else? Who are you, and what are you working on?

I haven't started working on any of my projects yet. I'm looking at all resources (books, tutorials, examples, bugs with Wine/Ubuntu, etc). I just mentioned my age. I'm a 43-year-old systems programmer. I'm trying to get into game design as a side project with my kids.

I've never heard of Evanto. Chupamobile seems to be a reseller (apps to re-brand).

Just look at the information Chupamobile posts on their site.

I'd stay with Google Play and Amazon Market.
