Your game is AWESOME!

You've shown me what Construct2 is more than capable of doing.

I'm buying it.

Make the game that you want to make, not one that fits into a specific genre

Thank you so much for the encouraging words..

I really love the genre you recomended: Puzzle Platformers. Seeing all these genres in action has helped open my mind on what else in already out there. I just "Googled" some Puzzle Platformers on Steam (Google is now a verb for searching right?). I found an awesome sample of how PPs look it's called "Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe" by Adult Swim.

I can't wait to roll out my first game. I just feel that I needed to as they say, know the rules. In order to break the rules

Have an awesome day KnivetonStudios

(Where can I find your game(s) by the way?)

The list goes on and on indeed!

Take a look at Papers Please! Pretty unique game! I think Papers Please was created using the Game Maker Studio Pro. That's a 2D game in a hard to define genre but you can probably make it using C2.

I love supporting Indie games! I'm really keen to get Papers Please now. I guess we have to score 1 for Game Maker studio.. we'll get them with one of our own. Have an awesome day!

Thank you heyguy for helping me with the genres!

Top Down

Isometric

Shump

Endless runner

Mode7

And lots of offshoots

Metroidvania

Zelda-esk

Roguelike

Rts

The list goes on, and on...

Thank you so much!

You have given me the kind of list I really needed, I didn't know Mode7 were called Mode7. I've been googling each genre and taking notes, even a good Shoot'emup would be great to make. Especially the kind that scrolls from the side, I found one called "Sir Oliver & Aquila".

You've given me a lot to think about

Hey fellow Constructors

Google failed me, but I need some help. Can you list for me all the standard 2d game genres out there.

I know game genres can fit into both 2d or 3d interchangeably but the reason I'm asking is because, I'm ashamed to say but I didn't even know about "Tower Defense games" until a few days ago. Now I'm in love with them, like crazy!

I don't really care about "Massive Online Battle Arenas" at this stage. I'm more interested in another new game I've just seen today: Nuclear Throne". What Genre is that, is it a shooter or action game or what.

When I bought my Construct if you'd told me I would end up thinking of making a Tower Defense game, I wouldn't have understood what you're talking about. When I tried Googling "2d game Genres" I kept getting Vainglory, Call of Duty and all the big stuff. Did I mention Vainglory? I love that game, despite all my dying. Anyway:

Can anyone kindly help me with examples I can mimic.

Genre examples like:

1. Platformer = Super Mario

2. Tower Defense = Kingdom Rush

e.t.c.

I'd really appreciate it, cause it will help me make informed decisions on what my 1st game can be like. I want to make it simple and 'finishable' to make (yeah.. it's now officially a word).

Hey digitalsoapbox

Thank you for the link, I'm going to be basing my arcade cabinet off that design.

Hi guys!

I was wondering if anyone has tips on how I can turn a Construct2 game into an Arcade machine. I attend a number Comic events where I sell my Comics and an Arcade Machine with my game(s) will be perfect.

I want people to put in coins/ tokens so that they can play my game(s). I'm keen on using a windows PC/laptop with a VGA monitor hooked up.. that will be hidden inside the Arcade Machine. Which means I want the game to load the moment the PC switches on without showing Windows' interface. I saw that there is a number of "Front End" software that can hide windows like "Maximus Arcade".

I'm going to be looking into this, so if anyone has any advise on how I can program my games to suit this idea let me know.

Hey guys!

I'm an upcoming Construct 2 user, I have been on the site for years but I now think I'm ready to make my 1st Scirra game! I can't wait to share what I'll make.

Outside of Game Development, I work as a 2d animator. Grew up in Zimbabwe Africa, learned Graphic Design in Durban, South Africa. You'll be seeing more of me soon.
