    for clarification the effect itself (hd) is only around 1.4mb without exporting optimalisation. , the background is optional and exported is much smaller,

    for phone use there is the sd version thats even smaller, the sounds etc.. are a bonus, i'm also just showing options here, and the endlook is quite different

    like you said, you're rendering it real time, this means its an extra strain on gpu, where frame animations is very light but comes with extra size, .. but not 7mb

  • you might like my sandstorm demo

    http://www.vtrixdev.com/scirra/sanddemo/

    it has some controls for making the best look

    created with frame animation, this can be right choice if you need more easy control of placement etc..,

    i think its lighter to run then a shader..

    probably can be made in a blizzard too, with the right colorisation and background..

  • Great to hear this!, good luck with further developing your game, looks very nice

  • immortalx can you not connect the camera to the state of the player, running = camera follow , or maybe if you can get the x-speed of the character, when over a treshold the camera comes active,.. just some idea's here..

  • you can set the layer background to transparent, its in the layer properties

  • -Silver- very nice

    construct is rather quirky in that sense, that making every animationframe in power of two will actually NOT fit well in the final spritesheet because it automatically adds an extra pixel,.. personally, i find it a big mess to figure out the best fit, theres no feedback on how your assets will be distributed, except checking the final export...

    Bigger the better is good but you let it to the customer to handle the best resizing, wich is not always good for everyone, will it actually look good at every size? idealy i want to give the original, (the biggest you want to go) and then a couple of steps, so the enduser can choose the best size/quality for the project, again ideally, because this all takes time, you can also take the approach as what do you find the best options for your assets...

    The same for how many frames..., its easy to give someone a complex 50 frame animation, but for mobile and online you want that to be optimized, the size of your art x amount of frames can add quickly to couple of mb...

    600*600 is pretty big and thats really HD for a character, a couple of options down from that and your good i think,.. good luck with your assets sman118

    there have not been many responses on some improvements to the shop, while i feel the shop is good one, with some great features,.

    there some things i wish where different

    some things here...

    shorten the presentation banner process (upload in one go / less banners)

    removing wrongly added (not active) products > basicly these sit just there without any purpose + they are in the sale selection list = mistakes

    faq > way to adjust without deleting the entry

    i wish the screenshots where in a slider, remaining on the salepage

    i also understand the reasoning about the forum shop posts, but its a problem, as the first posting of the product might not be final, any change you make at the salespage, remains on the forum, updating removes the images, ...

    anyway would be nice to hear if some improvements are planned...

  • Eric Matyas just checked some of your sci-fi , great work, i like your little descriptions too electric sheeps, héhé
