    It is too parts:

    1) Honor system: BUT most games don't earn any real money - (6 months hard work for about $100). And if you earn $5,000 everyone will know about it - because nobody else is earning

    2) For the unhonorable men and women of this world... they have their ways and they will catch you, and they will find you and they sure aint going to tell you how either... why would they.

    Use the honor system, and then you don't have to worry about number 2.

  • I had similar issues awhile back. Running tweaking.com I recommend these guys if you don't know how to custom write your own script and their little free program basically restores permissions as they should be, fixes registry etc etc etc long list. Be sure to follow each step. i.e backing up registry files, running a malware scan, system restore etc etc.

    It worked for me... but my issue was bigger than that eventually. I found I was getting blue screens often, and I eventually tracked down 30bytes of corrupt memory sector, that believe it or not, when a program accessed it, it would then corrupt what it passed onto disk. So my only solution was to buy new memory, and start with a new disk (got a solid state and never looked back) Of course, my issues vs yours won't be the same.

    BUT, for some unknown reason your permissions are broken (this can be a result of so many things - even malware)

    Try tweaking.com windows fix software. It doesn't do anything, except restore everything to what it should be - it even checks your windows installation to ensure no files have gone missing etc etc. Very nice program.

    I used it for 7, and windows 8. I haven't used it for windows 10, but I am sure it will be just as good, they might even offer some options to deactivate all the tracking stuff of windows 10 - (Windows 10, worst release yet as far as security)

    Okay, seems they added support

  • [quote:2bvfnv65]CreateProcess failed; code740

    I believe this means that you don’t have the correct “rights” to perform the operation.

    First Try disable UAC <---hate this bloody thing lol.

    See if that works. And that will highlight if that is the issue or it could be registry files, etc etc

    I know you uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Did you do a reboot between the two? Uninstall. Restart. Re install. Restart. Note the restart.

  • You starting a 'New' project use the replacement option called local storage.

  • if you have Personal license yes you can. You can even put it on a usb stick

  • Pro Git - its free and here is an articlehe wrote on it.

    Basically workflow you have two branches that always exist, master and develop.

    master represents the most stable version of your project and you only ever deploy to production from this branch.

    I liked Scott Chacon approach and seems better suited to small teams.

    I've used github, but not extensively enough to be of any use to you. I was on and off a number of small teams, but I've never needed to be in the driving seat of actually setting it up and doing any heavy lifting other than creating a branch, and having someone else then merge that branch into the develop.

    [quote:26ceng3r]Try it in the Free edition

    You can even try out the Multiplayer feature without a license! Download the Free edition and get started. However note you cannot export projects using the Multiplayer feature with the free edition. Purchasing a license and then you can share your multiplayer games with the world!

    source

    And it is as clear as day here in the limitations of free edition.

    If you use any free(limited) program, you always check what the limitations are - that is the goto place for every piece of software - it helps you decide if you want to purchase it, if you need to purchase it etc.

    Because you failed to do what, everyone one else does isn't scirra fault, and lets be honest here, if you are annoyed, best be annoyed at yourself.

    BUT, I understand your frustration, but you have to understand that scirra can't give away all the best features for free, they are already being more than generous with the current free edition.

    And when using a limited free edition, it is your responsibility to actually check the limitations (which have been publicized extremely well - took me 1 sec to get the facts). And its common knowledge that free edition (DEMO VERSION) will have limitations. Scirra also right from the first mention of multiplayer said that it was strictly going to be for paid versions, that is all their press releases etc.

    If you are a student, then why not investigate get your school involved - very affordable for schools.

  • Sorry guys, I have hit road blocks every single step of the way.

    1. Cant upload from my home IP address, but from my FTP and dropbox it works fine. I feel like i am being blocked.

    2. Got bumped off the newly added thumbnail list on my first day. Nothing done to make it fair for me. Just a promise that future customers will not be treated like I was.

    3. The sale I set up went down in flames for some unknown reason, splitting the page into 2 pieces with broken images.

    4. The new price i set up has been reverted to the original price. and images fixed after Ashlie's post.

    I could believe 1 or 2 of the above happening at random to me, but not every single step. I feel I have been sabotaged.

    I payed just as much as every one else and i still have nothing to show for it. Every single feature i have tried to use has has some "odd" behavior that no one else is seeming to be experiencing.

    1) This is unfortunate - it could be Tom blocking an IP range to handle spam and your IP falls in that range.

    2) Newly added - this issue you will have no matter what, I think a random shuffle feature is fair - hope Tom makes a note of that.

    3) Can't comment on that one, something Tom should look into

    4) I did see your discount price, without the sale sign, then it reverted to original price.

    I can understand your frustration, and when selling this way, frustration is inevitable. Nothing is smooth sailing. But that doesn't excuse things not working. Didn't help either that it was weekend, and nothing could be fixed/sorted.

    Chat to Tom, and hope you guys come to an arrangement.

    I know you are young Ahmad Aziz, and I know C2 has been good to you and this is how you try to repay all its done for you. You should be ashamed.

  • Thanks! I have been a CG artist since around 2004. I have worked for Jagex, Nexuiz team, Modelo, and MindPress, along with some I can not mention(NDA).

    When I am on the clock, I make $40-62 an hour. $700 for a weeks worth of my work is a steal.

    My complaint is not the lack of sales, they will come with the visibility.

    My complaint is that My IP is blocked from uploading, and that I did not get put on the newly updated list like the other victims who payed the $25. The listing before me and all of the listings after me where shown. Just not my listing.

    As far as the price goes, I am banking on the sale days. No one in their right mind buys anything new. I made the base price 25% higher than the price I actually want so I dont loose my shirt on the sale days. I found that trick on the Unity store. I had some dirt cheap character models for only 10$. No one ever bought hem unless it was on sale for $2. Later i re-added the listing this time for $50, and got just as many sales as when it was the $10 price.

    i also know that the Unity store, Turbo squid, and the Scirra store have none of these dice. Do a google search and you will never find a complete set. Supply and demand.... Supply and demand.

    As I said, I understand your price point. And agree that $700 is a steal. However, you are dealing with folks who complain about paying for a C2 license, and the majority of the artwork used is a rip off of something or other (I'm talking the majority, not the minority).

    Lots of students, wanna be indie game developers, trying to shortcut there learning curve, wanting to follow in the footsteps of flappy bird and make $50,000 a day - lol.

    Your art is beautiful. I hope you will be able to bump your hourly up to at least $150 (I think this to be a fair hourly for your level of art design), but in today's market, it is tough - I understand.

    You need to distance yourself from the competition. I actually had various chats with another member here about it, who also is a whizz with graphics, and has gone on to do some pretty cool things, and has got a fair amount of attention. Valerien

    Marketing oneself is hard, marketing your creative babies (that is harder still) letting them loose into the world.

    I understand now your reasoning about IP being blocked. I hope that gets resolved for you. All the best

  • jojoe,

    Your dice design is beautiful - but the price is pretty steep which would explain why no sales. And the $800 dollar for exclusive - Wow!

    Also, you have advertised that you are putting it on sale on fri (so if anyone is going to buy it, then they are now going to wait).

    I understand your price points, but you don't sell a porsche in a scrap metal store (Tom, not saying the store is scrap metal Just driving home a point)

    To get coverage, you need to be popular items, or bestseller (which you currently aren't). And raving reviews helps too.

    I have purchased loads of stuff, my way of supporting the community I guess cause (I have only used to date, one purchase - lol)

    but a demo goes a long long way. (you mentioned rolling the dice?) Buyer might like to see that in action.

    etc

    All marketplaces are hard to break into, the early contributors didn't have much competition, and you are now entering a level playing field

  • What Paala said. Export to amazon

  • And ludei webview? - sorry I haven't used webview or ludie for some time, but they have gone to great lengths to change the public image and have been pretty active in making things better.

    I don't know what can/can't be done. Perhaps follow up with them, they might offer work-a-rounds.

    Look, I dislike ludei, for the issues I had, but they have been pretty active, and might have some solutions for you.

  • Create a Main event sheet.

    Now include an eventsheet called variables (make it and put all your variables there)

    Now include a eventsheet called functions (make it and put all your functions in there)

    Now include a eventsheet called changelog (make it and put all you changes via comments in there) etc etc.

    you can make groups that have eventsheets included.

    The purpose is to have a main eventsheet that pulls in code from everywhere else.

    One new eventsheets you can then include main eventsheet or something like that.

  • terms of performance and stability for mobile devices [now that is where it gets tricky - lol]

    But this should get you going...phonegap

    But why you using TextBox? and do you really need it?

    I create my own keyboard which appends to a text box or spritefont and save data that way. I can then control the styling etc etc. Sure TextBox has css, but styling really isn't the best.
