  • spongehammer - thank you . I agree about the style of the eyes - I need to experiment a bit on the art (I used to think I was good at art, but this has proven my abilities don't match my expectations...). I need a style that says "different from Limbo but this character still feels a bit lost and vulnerable". Not an easy undertaking...

    Level 2 should be finished this week. Any ideas for level 3? I'm thinking over-ground, and maybe in some sort of out of town industrial location....

    Edit - eyes now altered in size and color, ever so slightly. Now less harsh, I think...

  • MadSpy & spongehammer, thank you gentlemen for your patience! I've redone the game-save/load logic and all of the previous problems in that area should now be fixed! I've also added access to more of level 2...

    Just of note, while bug/alpha testing I've elected to keep the start screen logic default, so even after a reset it will show you a Resume option. This is because the game save data indicates a point that is beyond the start of level 1.

    I hope you like it . Let me know where I can make improvements (beyond some background sounds and level detail, which I will work on later for sure). Cheers.

    v1.0.0.59

  • Mmmm, spongehammer, although that shouldn't happen there was one area of my code that was weak and could have caused problems (although I'm not sure it would cause the missing bridge problem). I have adjusted the on-spawn code and hopefully you should never find the bridge down if you spawn from the start. It might have been a mismatch between the game-save data and the in-game loaded data being out of sync, caused by poor event triggering on my part. Could you please let me know if this still happens? Version number now 1.0.0.56. Cheers.

  • Uh oh.... That shouldn't happen! Let me do some checking and I'll get back to you....

  • spongehammer - lol - I guess I need to make my instructions slightly less unclear!!

    Firstly, just confirm you're running demo v1.0.0.54? That's the one that's loaded in my dropbox folder and is the latest demo version. Once that's checked, on the start-controls page just press the key you wish to change (ie Up Arrow) and it should become highlighted and flash, then select the new key you want to replace it with... It should stop you from doubling up controls etc.

    If that doesn't work, pressing Num 0 will delete the cache, just in case the old json has corrupted my rather poor logic. If you're trying to use Num 0 as a control key then that might be a problem... lol. I've just discovered that the number key sortcuts don't work in Firefox.... but they are ok in Chrome and IE. I love browser technology .

  • I just get full screen with no borders - W8.1 and Chrome Version 43.0.2357.65 m .

  • May I present user-configurable controls! Just for you, spongehammer . That was way harder to implement than it should have been. lol, having small people continuously breaking my concentration didn't help....

  • OK spongehammer, I think I've un-f>>>>d it! Let me know if you encounter anything else that's a little bit impossible . I am planning on adding key change options at a later date - it's normally one of those logic setups that I dread so I put it off until everything else is done, but I'll probably do that over the next week if you don't like how I've set it up...

    If you find that the game save logic doesn't work then you might have to clear cache and start again (!) but for now you can keyboard number-key shortcut to the various spawn positions if there's something you want to look at again.

    Keyboard 0 to 6 - shortcut to reset position

    NumPad 0 - clear browser cache

    Thanks again!

  • Oh no spongehammer!! It appears that my tweaking gravity has made the flaming pipes impossible . I thought I'd caught all of the affected areas...!

    Give me a while and I'll fix it - I'm glad you like the rest though - thank you .

  • Thanks TiAm!

  • Some things are not easily done (efficiently) in c2. However, I really enjoy putting this sort of thing together because it's so quick to do .

  • —, I don't think that there is a difference in a normal browser. The only use I see for this is if you wish to support reduced resolutions and set low quality fullscreen scaling to save some GPU effort (in NW). Having said that, I don't think it makes much difference to be honest (and it doesn't work in NW 12.1).

  • Problem Description

    In Chrome, the fullscreen scaling works correctly, but it does not work in NW 12.1.

    Attach a Capx

    capx r200+

    Description of Capx

    The capx is a small upscale and resolution quality demo. Run in Chrome to see correct behavior. Click on a resolution colored area and the canvas will resize and the layout will scale. Select High or Low Quality for fullscreen scaling and then select full screen to see the render quality working. You can change the render quality in full screen if you wish. Run in NW and the quality on fullscreen appears always to be high quality.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • see Description above

    Observed Result

    See description.

    Expected Result

    Upscale quality control should work correctly in all browsers and NW.

    Affected Browsers

    • Chrome: (NO)
    • FireFox: (NO)
    • Internet Explorer: (N/A - full screen does not work in IE...)
    • NW (YES)

    Operating System and Service Pack

    W8.1 x64

    Construct 2 Version ID

    r200 64 bit

  • This might be what you're looking for, if I understood the request correctly.... I would make this into a tutorial but that's not an option at present.

    Click on the different colored areas to set the window/canvas resolution (works on nw and chrome). The layout will scale so the same image is displayed, just the quality will change with the resolution. Full screen toggle permits full screen rendering and you can set the full screen upscale quality as well. I learned that upscale quality does not change the quality in nw.... Time for a bug report.

  • DrewMelton,

    Noooooooo! At least the gameplay looks nothing like my concept. Maybe I'll ask the community for name suggestions when mine's nearer to completion. Dammit!
