  • You can use whatever story you want. You should play more games, watch more movies, read Dr. Seuss books, basically do whatever you can to get fragments of story elements you want to use so you can make your own. You can't seriously believe some random people are just going to write you a story. If they did then maybe they'd use it for their own games.

    I'm going to suggest something stupid like you character isn't carrying 2 boxes with him but 2 "balls".

    If your character is carrying 2 "balls" he can't jump. If your character is carrying no balls, he gets scared by random enemies so you lose control and let the ai take over for a short period of time.

    He's dragging his "balls" all the way to the finish line...

  • Object.Physics.Gravity_Angle

  • What exactly do want to do? Rotate each object on their own separate axes (origin)? or rotate with respect to a single point or object on your layout?

    I have tried rotating a tilemap + physics but the collisions are all messed up after.

  • I have a new question. How long do you mean would it take to finish a prototype and start a pre-alpha? I hope i get some more answers. But thanks verry much everyone who take the time to answer me.

    For me it takes forever since I'm a lazy bastard. However if I add the total time spent making the game it'll probably be about 2-4 hours. Since you are creating a platform game with many levels, ai and functions, I'm going to guess it'll probably take you about 5 forevers to complete your game.

  • It's working for me now so...

    2nd first impression(if that makes any sense):

    Looks great. Feels smoother than C2.

    I however am not a fan of having the game "Pop Lab" in the front page. It encourages people to create more Match-3 games like we need more of those.

    I'm just glad it's just a demo and not a template otherwise we'd go from having 100 thousand of those currently in the playstore to 100 million.

  • Sweet. The blue tileset + Purple background is beautiful

  • Global Var + Local Storage. Create a variable "TUT = 0"

    When first pressing the play button and have your player go through the tutorial/(s) (I'm going to assume these are a series of dialogue boxes) or when closing the last dialogue box of your tutorial, simply set 'TUT' to 1 and save that in local storage.

    Set it so it never appears again if the value is 1.

  • Assign instance variables (health,mana, speed, strength...) to both enemies and use value comparison when pressing the damage-dealing buttons to detect which enemy to attack. (depending on your definition of 'stronger' or 'weaker' )

    As of now there's really no good useful single piece of advice since I don't know how long you've been using C2, what skills or feats you want to learn. So just look through the Frequently Asked Questions Page and see which ones you can apply to your project...

  • Wow that looks really sweet. Wish I could stretch the 1 week where full version of C3 will be offered into a whole year..

  • Aha, but is there no way to compare if they just have the same value to an instance variable called "type"? If they both have one and shares the number "0" for example. It would be super easy to just drag in the "lever" and the "door" and then set their instance variable's value ("type") to "0".

    Of course there is. Just create the new variable yourself. You can assign it to either the family or the objects themselves.

  • It seems to work quite nicely. The first enemy opens the first door. They all have the same variable at 0 however. How did you connect the first enemy with the first door exactly?

    They all start with variable at 0 so on the:

    On start of Layout | set InstVar to Self.IID

    it replaces the variable with each object's respective INSTANCE ID. You could start there or manually assign the variables.

    I like using that since it takes less work. Now it's just a matter of repositioning the enemy sprites. You can even modify the capx so instead of destroying the enemy it simply toggles a variable to open/close doors...

  • Thanks for your feedback. Are there any games like this on steam? I didnt find one. Maybe some of you have some new ideas for the game. If i decide to make the game, i will start an extra post. But to time i need some help for ideas and something like that.

    Cryttexx

    Yes there already exists a game like this. It's called

    .

    It has the ability to not only create 2 blocks but destroy existing blocks as well. Also, gameplay wise you could consider The legend of Zelda's Cane of Somaria that allows you to create and destroy 1 block for any use.

  • Did you guys see this post: Heyzap Ads Mediation Plugin For Construct 2.

    Im thinking about trying this out to see how it compares to the Cranberrygame Chartboost plugin.

    From thread: "You Can Buy Best Heyzap Ads Mediation Plugin for Construct 2 here https://codecanyon.net/item/mobile-ads- ... e/19615021 "

    Yeah. I'm not paying any more money for plugins that may or may not work....
