  • I know. I program and give away Construct for free. All I ask is that you don't get in to flame wars in the first place that indirectly damage the reputation of what I otherwise consider to be an excellent program and community.

    Too much to ask?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Call it unrealistic to not expect flamewars on the internet, but it's still no excuse to have them in the first place. That download has now well and truly descended from talking about the download to senseless arguing over two programs.

    One week bans for anyone else who comments on the download. You have a half an hour grace period to read this message.

  • Fun as you may find it, I'm worried the download will be deleted or all the comments erased because of all that flaming. That would be a shame, and then the logical thing for the admins to do is simply remove any mention of Construct in case it causes a flamewar, which means my demo goes down too (and TDC becomes like the Clickteam forums ). And that's a whole load of bad rep for us.

    To be honest, I'm not happy, guys. You know I only do this in my spare time. You think I want to deal with flamewars?

  • Good idea.

  • Oh sure, I think that too [Re: SuperV]. I just want the journey there to be smooth

    I'm going to go ahead and directly ask you to stop your post battle with 'Mr Sneeze'. He blames you for moaning about the demo, yet he made a point of moaning about my demo. This is clearly not a mind you're going to make any progress with, so forget it. What I think would be funny is if everyone goes and rates my demo 1 star, but we all rated their demo 5 stars. I get a kick out of stuff like that

    Edited to clarify post timing

  • But remember thinking it's better is your opinion, not fact, so it won't help our or anybody's cause to go announcing it, especially in sensitive places where you know it will provoke reaction. Do you see my point?

  • It's not like that - while yes, Construct is open source and MMF costs money, these are facts - you present them as a strong opinion (ie. nothing can possibly be better than Construct, etc). This is not realistic. MMF is mature software, so has fewer bugs, and a larger userbase, and a few other things like more plugins - all positive points. I'm flattered by your passion for Construct, but you must keep perspective - remember, I would still advise someone working on a commercial or otherwise important project to use mature software, be it MMF, GameMaker, or waiting until 1.0 comes around. Until then, Construct still might nuke your file or make it 3.2 gigabytes, heh.

    So the point is, while I'm not asking to control your activities on the internet, I'm urging everyone to keep a realistic view, don't lose your heads, and hey, it's only an internet rating. Rate it 5 stars since they seem to take it so seriously

  • You will still have to download and install new versions, like when 0.94 comes out, and for the forseeable future. The hotfixer will just kick in when we botch a plugin or something, like with the platform movement here. The updater has been coded to be able to auto-install new builds, but I'm a bit worried if it goes wrong it will nuke every installed copy of Construct in existance! So new builds as usual for now.

  • Well, I don't mind a post if it's clever, or 5 star (trivialise the other raters). Just no flaming. We're better than that, guys

  • Sorry bout that, the hotfixer should be running again. Just open Construct and it should grab a working platform movement.

  • Find something else to occupy you, and I think there's plenty to laugh about already without posting If you want to post, rate it five stars and say nice demo, nice idea, nice graphics, whatever.

  • Don't get involved in the flamewars on The Daily Click guys. If someone posts saying Construct sucks, so what? We're better off without them. If someone posts saying they think MMF is amazing, so what? It's not bad. Just let it go, folks.

    Plus we don't want to end up with people thinking the guys over at Scirra run amok all the time
