  • Cute little platformer!

    Some comments/suggestions:

    -Probably intentional, but the font is hard to read, especially in the little speech bubbles.

    -The camera offset when the player changes direction is extremely disorienting.

    -A windowed mode would be nice.

    -An option to enable pixel rounding / "low-quality" fullscreen would also be nice. That sub-pixel movement is smooth but kinda ruins the pixel art.

  • Yeah this would be nice. I think if you consecutively run in debug mode then things stay the same but if you close everything out or run the game normally it reverts back to 1 window and all.

  • Geez this thread is 4 years old man. Yeah it works now.

  • This is a long-standing issue with the platform behavior; nothing to do with using dt in events.

    There has been a number of threads about it already, like this one:

    There's one solution by JohnnySix at the bottom of that thread. Last time I implemented/tested it was 2 years ago so I dunno how well it works now but it's worth a shot.

  • While The Iconoclasts was a CC game, today it only serves as a prototyping tool. The release version is done by another partner company which use the CC game as a reference and recode it some other engine (I asked him a few days ago because I was curious and that's what he said).

    So including it in the frontpage features would be counter-productive, since it would immediatly spark a discussion about why he decided to do it this way instead of porting to C2 and releasing it

    Oh? I thought he said they made a new exporter for it like Chowdren for MMF. He never posted any old content remade with the new engine so..that's a bit weird.

    Anyway, The Iconoclasts is just one example. Also it's been in development for almost a decade (including the original version, Ivory Springs) so my earlier point still stands lol.

  • C2 has not even been out as long as many popular large-scale indie games have been in development, so there's that. Also there were a number of great games being made in C2 that were ultimately canceled or switched to other engines due to breaking changes and frustration with C2's reliance on 3rd party technologies.

    There are a number of great and popular CC/C2 titles, but the front page shows very few. It's pretty amazing that games like The Iconoclasts aren't on there. A better/dedicated showcase page would be nice, but I'm sure it will take a lot of time for Scirra to evaluate projects and decide what should and shouldn't be on there...valuable time that could be spend working on C3 and more important things.

    Its gotten super easy to make games (despite idiotic complaints about third party issues), and the market is super saturated.

    So to sell anything you have to spam the world, which is basically what Supercell, does.

    That or hit on some viral game mechanic( Flappy Bird, Agar.io, Slither.io)

    Not necessarily. Good games market themselves. If you can manage to get a single article on a site like Destructoid, where dozens of other gaming news outlets rip their content from, then you're pretty much set. Also, the complaints about third party issues are totally legitimate. Just ~6 months ago NWjs started throwing JS errors, many features like window scaling and audio broke, the debugger didn't work, we all got ghost processes, and so on. And that was after at least a year of dealing with that whole "jitters janks and snags" issue. And that's just NWjs. I can't even begin to list the problems with all the mobile shit.

    Wouldn't bother with Fusion 2.5 now; Fusion 3 is being revealed this fall. As for the actual release, however...could still be a little while.

  • Is this not what rendering & collision cells are for?

  • That's pretty cool but I recommend using a sprite object instead of tiles so you don't have 2 families to check collisions with (solid tilemaps & solid sprites).

  • Yeah that XPS 13 is basically a super sized phone. You can do way better than that for around $1,000. Maybe an MSI Ghost, Asus G751, or HP Omen 15. All have dedicated GPU's and at least a 15" screen so you're not squinting at your event editor all the time.

  • Looks like Stagelight is only for Android/iOS so...FL Studio.

    I started with LMMS. It's not bad, but FL Studio is better.

  • Discmach Hmm..hadn't planned on adding a melee ability. I'd like to keep this kit as simple as possible, and a mechanic like this could be confusing since it'd toggle entire components of the player engine. Same reason I removed the morphball before launch.

    For a rudimentary melee attack all you really need to do is add a Player_Melee function call in the Player Input group, then have that function disable Player Mechanics & Player Animations, then play the melee attack animation and spawn the blade object. When the animation is finished or the player has been hurt or whatever, you can re-enable said groups.

    If you only want the melee attack to disable certain mechanics like shooting, but leave others active like moving left/right, then you can create more groups and do something like above. Alternatively you can use a parent event that checks if a melee attacking boolean is false, and put mechanics that should be disabled when attacking underneath it.

  • But what did you mean by lowering the Acceleration/Deceleration exactly?

    Well in the original game his acceleration and deceleration are a bit lower - it takes him a tiny bit to start running at full speed, and he "slides" a bit after stopping. In your engine he starts walking at max speed and stops instantly. But again, it's all about how close to the original you're trying to get.
