Tom's Recent Forum Activity

    Just a heads up have cleaned up a few posts in this thread (and posts quoting/referring to those posts).

  • Showed the rap to all my friends and girlfriend they all love it Hope to see more tutorials in future, keep up the good work!

  • They are in my cupboard somewhere, unfortunately the site is lost! It's been an ambition of mine to start it up again eventually

  • Lovely video, have Tweeted it for you! Hope to see more it was great!

  • Aiming to have payments ready for 22nd May.

    The new platform is not going to get the benefits the forum offers for exploring what the suggestions would entail.

    I don't see any harm in opening discussions about specific suggestions for general discussion

  • No problem and thank you for the comment, much appreciated!

  • > We always say it in office as Skirra (pronounced like Skipper) but most people say Seera or Sirra

    Origin story ?

    Ashley wanted to call it Cirrus after the cloud type, but that .com was taken so he swapped a few letters about

  • We always say it in office as Skirra (pronounced like Skipper) but most people say Seera or Sirra

  • On a side note, since there doesn't seem to be anywhere else proper to mention it, are you still going to do away with Scirra as a name? Seems strange to refer to the company as Construct, I can't do it. Or maybe the Construct Team. But Scirra still rolls off the tongue (keyboard?) easier.

    Yes we are, will always be our corporate name/official business name, but we're going to be slowly dropping it from communications/branding etc. Part of me feels a little sad seeing it go from front and centre to the back a little bit more as well! But I'm sure it's the right decision. You wouldn't believe the amount of ways we've heard Scirra pronounced, and times I've had to spell it phonetically on the phone!

    Being able to say tom at construct dot net instead of tom at "now let me spell it for you, sierra charlie... yes that's right, no not skeariah, skeerah" will save me a few hours each year

  • I'll add some to the positivism

    A couple years ago I thought your presence here seemed rather useless (couldn't see your contribution to scirra).

    Now I've been gone and out most of the last 18 months, but man, you've stepped up.

    Nice forum presence and arranging a wildcards of things ... Nice work ^_^

    P.s. add a new blog occasionally (personal interest ones)

    Lots going on behind the scenes that doesn't impact people directly - fixing bugs on website etc. A good chunk of every day is taken up with businessy stuff as well, and some customer support (although Julien is a star and manages to do the bulk of it!)

    Have also been working on the Construct.net website for over a year which has been a pretty big engineering challenge. You'll see lots of rapid improvements on the site after the beta (from now until then it's working on the payments system which is fiddly).

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • The fact it only runs on android doesn't cut it for the more serious and devoted developers.

    Are you talking about the Construct 3 editor, or games made in Construct 2/3, or multiplayer?
