  • Seems to me a bit of an overkill (and perhaps unneeded overhead) readjusting the player sprite every single system tick when in fact it is only needed when the player box is actually moved.

    Wouldn't it be better to do this inside of the player movements event?

  • A common design pattern seems to be creating a player box sprite which is moved around in the usual way, and then creating a separate player animation sprite which is connected to the box.

    Has something to do with animations not displaying properly or something like that.

    I've seen two ways mentioned to connect the two together, namely by:

    1. Setting the player position to the box at every system tick, or
    2. Pinning the player to the box

    Was just curious which one is the preferred way.

  • Well, the fact that there are enough kind folks out there who have stuck with Construct 2/3 for so many years definitely must mean something positive.

    Is the end goal for most game developers only to make tons of money?

    Or is it more important for the majority of users to feel like full fledged members of a dynamic community having fun and making cool stuff they can share with each other?

  • Oh, my bad.

  • Hey WackyToaster, your game is amazing! You are pushing Construct to the limits. Are you at liberty to share some hints and tips to fellow aspiring game makers (me et al) how to accomplish your special effects and the rest?

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • If your curious, here's a link to the video: youtu.be/Gnwjw0b8bR0

  • I too have been experiencing slow performance lately, which comes and goes.

    Here's the screenshot I posted on discord:

  • Perfect, thanks!

  • It's because I am using a sprite font and now I see that it does not include the "%" character.

  • Yes, showcasing more advanced games would help break from misconceptions that it is only for beginners.

  • I consider Construct a superior product when it comes to making games, and yet for some reason it seems to be not very well known.

    Tons of videos about other game engines and in comparison very few covering Construct.

    Some videos listing the most popular game engines seem to completely forget Construct, while I feel that it is comparable if not better than half of those engines included.

    Just curious why.

  • I am considering starting a coding bootcamp for underprivileged kids with Construct 3 playing an important role in stimulating creativity and building confidence.

    Being more of the technical mindset, I am somewhat unfamiliar with the logistics and organizational aspects of such a challenge.

    Any hints, tips or other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

  • Not sure if this is a known problem yet, but I noticed that unlike in the new topic dialog (this message for example), in the post reply dialog it is NOT possible to insert images. When I click on the camera icon in the toolbar nothing happens, e.g. the image upload dialog does not appear.

  • I was wondering how I can set text that includes the percent sign. I've tried "%", "%%" and "\%" but none of them work. Any ideas?

  • I believe so but am not sure. I do know that each extra group you use eats up from the events limit in the free version.
