    i saw this video called "how rayman legends made" and at 8th minute this guy make use of a plugin called ferr2d (plugin in unity) so if i want something new for c3 besides working normal maps and better lighting system is this that ferr2d does. to achieve different variations of sprites (mostly ground/sprites) is really cool with just a press of mouse button

  • X3M i agree fusion 2.5 is a mess. i hope they fix that in fusion 3. i prefer c2 for now. look firefly has nothing yet to show either i tweet to them to show something greater and not only cubes and packman style games and they answered that they are not modellers...its a bad promotion but is a promotion. but beside that my problem is that you start this thread 2.5 months ago and the download option is still on "pending". you've done a great tool and we are waiting for aproval for some time now...

  • matriax i know that firefly is made by a founder but really who cares? they promote firefly cause people wants to put in their games 3d. so they want a small piece from other engines pie (which support 3d). this will increase buyers and this increase income too. so imo first reason behind promotion is this -money-.if x3m release firefly in clickteam store believe me they promote it exactly like they do now. they do better with social media. don't they?

    scirra has q3d and now babylon3d and yes its not official plugin but a 3rd one, but it makes the same things (even if it has no particle editor yet but babylon support them as well "http://doc.babylonjs.com/tutorials/Particles"). so is really awkward why not promote it as well? it will bring more people in and obviously more money also. so the goal is the same even if the situations are different, official and 3rd party.

    honestly firefly's 80 usd to me is the most overpriced thing i ever see and also their promotion with the 95-98 graphics is terrible.but they promote it.

  • X3M you ve done a very good job and i think a little promote and help from scirra will be fair enough. i dont know if he's not working during weekends but the download section in the post is inactive from the beginning "waiting from approval". When at the same time clickteam promotes like a maniac their plugin called "firefly" which does pretty much the same job as babylon3d. The only difference is that babylon is 4x cheaper. hope for more tutorials and description for every behaviour-plugin in a pdf file. best of luck and creativity

  • and after ignore button gives me this

    • --------------------------

    Unable to load project

    ---------------------------

    Could not open project '\\?\C:\Users\waves\AppData\Local\Temp\cap3NIYX9\Platformer.caproj':

    Cannot find action with the ID 4 in the behavior 'Skeleton' (babylonSkeleton). This is usually caused by a third-party behavior developer removing the action from the behavior in an update (instead they should set the deprecated flag on it which does not break existing projects), or reinstalling an older version of the behavior that does not have an action used in this project.

    OK

    Check failure! This is probably a bug:

  • brian Griffin its not misleading at all. im an hobbyist artist too and i dont know even how to succesfully do the "hello world" thing in any language. but then i found construct and can do things that it will take ages for me to learn how to do. you can make very good games if you got a great story and visuals sounds etc. the thing is that you as a new user i assume dont know that here in C2 the "coding not required" thing is 100% true. go play with unity playmaker and similar plugins, go for game maker studio 2 fancy new drag and drop system, or unreal blueprints where all of them announce "without writing a sinlge line of code" but its not true. there the coding "is required' but in a more friendly way you don't write code you connect ready blocks of code. not even close to the simplicity of C2. AAA games is a difficult thing to do alone with or without code. and to sum up you can be a millionaire with a fnaf game or flappy bird too you know. And these games can be made with C2. its not only the engine its the idea its the timing and of course hard work and luck.

  • i think now its a good time to give us some tutorials in screenshots or better in youtube, for step by step instructions (at least the basics ). it will promote the project better. And some tweets of the tutorials will give more publicity to your plugin and of course more incomes

    glerikud yes i know it will be a standalone editor thanks for the info . i just throw an idea from another forum cause i find it very interesting.

    i saw this in another forum of a different engine but sounds a really good idea (to me of course). is it possible construct 3 to be also like a plugin in another engine? i mean for example to bring your editor and event system like a plugin in unity and only for 2d.

    very serious if your product is superior you have nothing to fear. and at the opposite then why the "opponets" didnt wait for c3 to came out first? they dont care they do their best they have their customers. if gms 2 adopt the c2 behaviour system and editor system you and i propably not being here commenting. they dont care. also fusion they dont care their editor will be almost identical with mmf2 -with some more friendly design touches- but not dramatically change at all. its not serious imho to say that c3 waits in the shadows and not show some new features cause fusion and gms is at the corner and maybe steal ashleys ideas when at the end of the day construct came from mmf.

    i think this should happen to c3 too. whats wrong with it? when i said suddenly i mean that no one expect gms2 any time soon before 2017 or even 2018. it was a happy surprise. so maybe it will happen with c3 too. so i think that the silence of ashley is not necessarily that c3 waits the "opponents" to official reveal their products. why to care about them? he's got almost 4 million downloads. either is the silence before the storm either the silence cause there is nothing yet to speak of (but who want this?). But as i said i feel that "suddenly" even in beta first, c3 will be out really soon.

    Prominent yoyo games tweets at 11th of October the update v1.4.1763 and the next day upload a short video of "#Time2MeetYourMaker" without any warning and that's for me is suddenly. in almost 3 weeks (2nd of November) they gave beta keys every day and now their users can buy a license with a discount even if gms 2 is in beta phase. at the other hand fusion 3 uploads every Monday a post about 1 new feature in F3. i prefer the first method. there is not "smart and not smart method", imho of course, about promoting. if your engine is really offering many new features, buyers will follow.

    i bought fusion developer edition in humble bundle with all the exporters incl. the new uwp exporter for 15$ plus some games and their code. its a nice engine and "feels" more safe with the native exporters but the editor seams prehistoric gives me the feeling of windows 95 era...a bloody labyrinth. i learned many things to be honest and i like it but the editor gives me headaches every time.for mmf users is the simplest thing for a c2 user is a maze... to be honest with a discount i'll propably go for fusion 3. fusion 2.5 except fnaf gave games like odallus and oniken and many other successful games also in steam. its the father of all (construct classic and c2, gamesalad, stencyl blah blah blah) it gave the idea of make games without coding.

    i also dont understand some comments like "c3 should wait until fusion 3 comes out". C2 is different has a specific plan to html5 which fusion has not. users of fusion will continue to use fusion at least the majority of them and construct 2 users will continue to use construct products either or why not buy both of them due steam sales. i dont know i've got a feeling that c3 will appear suddenly one day and i think it will be in '17. Game maker if you know coding gml is miles ahead of both of them right now with the 2nd version. i read very good comments for better frame rates and the editors are great (animation/sprite editor is fgxp@#$ing awesome), animated tiles if im correct and too much stuff. its in another level. but you have to know how to code in gml. the drag n drop system NEEDS to know gml and cannot compare to c2 at all. c2 in this is superior. im waiting what can i do more?but i think its very close.

  • ok thanks for the reply
