  • Bump.

    Hello again guys, I've reached version 0.9 of Cave of black (my entry for the rikoshe game jam) A few things are still missing, like sound effects, optimization (which aparantly is heavily needed for mobile devices) plus some polishing as there are some parts that are very dificult or may be impossible to pass through. Additional information in the post above.

    Any feedback is greatly appretiated.

    Thank you.

  • I still don't like it honestly, it doesn't work. It's still very nauseating, after a few minutes the player would just end up very tired or with a headache. The best is to probably remove the camera rotation at all, you can play with it a litte maybe just give it a little tilt here and there, but not more. You probably just don't notice the problem because you got used to it.

  • The 3D effect is awesome, the cars rotate so smoothly it almost seems real 3D. As for the camera it's extremly desorienting, keep the same angle and just give it a few tilts here and there to give a bit more action.

    You should work heavily on the graphics though, when do you intend on releasing the game?

  • Try Construct 3

  • That'd be cool to create 'diferent camera perspectives'. Yes it will have allways that look, but in the end it's up to the developer to take advantage of that effect and apply it in the artstile of the game. You could do a game where the world made in paper for instance, then the buildings could look cool like that.

  • It's not isometric though, it's just top view. In order to be isometric (even if not ortographic) you have to allways see the side of the object that is facing down. If I go above the object in your example, I see the side of the object that is facing up.

    Isometric:

    Still a well achieved effect.

  • Oops, you're right, it was an old save, re-uploaded it:

  • Haha (Einstein doesn't understand gamedesign xP)

    I tried to add accelaration but the bullets end up being too fast.

    Have you tried the capx?

  • Hello everyone, I'm currently working on a spaceship shooting game, and I've stumbled on a problem.

    The ship shoots lasers toward the mouse.

    When I shoot while being stopped, the lasers go on the right direction (as shown on the image below):

    However, if I'm moving and I shoot, the lasers will stay behind like shown below.

    I know that's what would normally happen, but it doesn't work very well for a game, since the player can't aim correctly to enemies. How can I fix it?

    You can download the capx if you wish.

  • Dammnit, I just found it too. Sorry for the trouble.

  • Hello, I'm currently working on a platformer and I'm coming accross an issue.

    What I need is simple. I need the player to jump higher if I keep the jump button pressed longer. (press quickly ->small jump; press longer ->big jump)

    In Construct classic you could do this easily, though they've taken these option in Construct2, don't know why, unless I'm missing something.

    Can someone help me on this?

    Thank you.
