  • Would have liked to see the result, its maybe an edge case but i have a spacescene looping background, pretty fast, so compressing might have not been such an issue, also alpha is not needed, its probably best scenario for using jpg

    the seperate jpg frames at 80% quality are smaller then 8bit png sheeted ones, and look pretty good, so i thought jpg sheeting might squeeze the filesize even more.

    my results are for 24 frames using 510*510 texture

    png lossless 10mb sheeted

    8bit png 3,5mb sheeted

    jpg 80% 1,4mb at 48 kb per image

    I try an online test too see how it looks with the jpg

  • newt i think the extra compression is pngout , like optimizing 8bit png color, but sprite sheeting is done by the engine (i think) ... if you can set your animation to jpg, it should sheet it.. why not?

  • im trying exporting to jpg format , its an animation that would be used as background so i figured i could use jpg compression

    but after exporting, every frame is a seperate file, why is it not on an image sheet ? The same file gets sheeted with png setting..

  • AnD4D

    wanted to reply here on your rather harsh review

    I do my best to show the assets as close to what you get, I show images of different looks, i show a lengthy video or demo, so you see how the animation looks (using the exact same images included in the pack) and additionally you can check exactly what images you get in the product filebrowser. I cannot make what you think it will look like..

    so i just find it strange you call it ugly and jumpy, as everything is clearly shown, i cant help thinking you are using it wrong, you can get the exact same look in construct2 as shown in the demo.

    The double exhaust was the initial & only look, I added the other one on request, and added an example of it, (yes by modifying the original) if that strikes you as lazy, then so be it

    anyway, for anyone having trouble getting the same look as in the demo, im always happy to help

    furthermore one of the reasons I made these, is the ability to produce the exact look as in my ship presentations but within construct2, with particles system this is hard to do, I already used the same animation in my launchplatform recently and i quite liked the result.

  • — very happy to hear that this Intel HD graphics problem is no more of an issue, that was a real dealbreaker for steam, + lots of the new portable devices like surface pro use intel graphics so this is actually great news, also congrats on the release! I hope it does very well
