Greetings fellow Construct 3 developers!

I've been running a game development course in Finland for a little more than two months now. So far we've managed to create ten games by game development first-timers. It's been such an awesome ride to see the progress of these motivated developers. I'm pretty sure that the course students will be browsing these forums and posting their own games here pretty soon, but while waiting I'm going to present my personal take during this course.

So for the past two months I've worked my own game as well, the game is called Superube. The game core has a lot of vibes from The End Is Nigh and the next step for the game is to make it more personal and innovative. I've been experimenting with different controls and it would be great to hear your feedback on this!

You can play the game here: https://jestercraft.itch.io/superube

As an end note, I got to say that Construct 3 has been very powerful tool for first-timers to jump into making games and learn the logic behind any programming language. It prepares you to think like a programmer, which helps a lot when starting to learn any language. For me though, the engine has and most likely will provide all necessary to make the games I personally want. The restrictions and "flaws" Construct 3 has, works more of an great boundaries to keep at least my second food on the ground, when designing my next game. Also by seeing how carefully Scirra has designed the engine and how fast they are updating it, is a great signal that the engine will have long future.

Thanks Scirra team, for providing this engine for us! And keep up the great work!

Best regards,

Hey!

I'm working on making the research spread a little and decided to go for Thunderclap. Your support would be very welcome, to make the campaign happen.

Thank you all for your support so far! I've got lots of good feedback into this project and I'm more able to focus into right things when making the first content.

Best regards,

Thank you very much!

Hello everyone!

I'm currently doing a little research to find out how people usually use their time (and money) to learn new things in game development.

Since we are in a industry in which non stop learning is crucial to you whether you are working with games, doing it as an hobby or maybe running a business. It is clear that all of us learn new things every day, but how you actually do it?

If I may ask two to five minutes of your time to fill out this form: https://goo.gl/8ypFsE

There are only eight questions in the first part, just to test is this a good way to engage people. It would also be great to hear feedback!

And yes, the research is started to find out what kind of markets does game development & business courses have.

Thank you for your time and have a great week!

Hey!

I'm not sure how have you created the shooting controls in your game, but if it's very similar to other top down shooter controls you should watch some tutorials how they are made. Just google "top down shooter tutorial construct 2" and you'll find a lot of good ones easily! Since I don't have the needed 500+ reputation, I can not post you the link.

Going to try anyway, I think it doesn't work though...

Hope this helps!

Great! Glad that we found the solution. Keep on learning!

from what I understand here in translation , that's it!

For example if you have a variable called "Count" which is set to a some value during the game with different events. And you want to check, if the value is between 30 to 40 during the game.

You can do this with multiple ways, one is to compare the Count variable on every tick to check, is it equal or more than thirty, and add another condition in to that event to see is it equal or less than 40. In there, you can add the actions you need.

Hope this helps!

> ny time I wish to import it to C2, I do eight important steps:

1. Toss all data that I wanted into a new excel sheet.

2. Do a Find and Replace for commas.

3. Save as MS-DOS CSV

4. Do a Find and Replace for CSV commas. (I use this | as replacement)

5. Do a Find and Replace back for data commas (revert them back to commas).

6. Create a new array for it if the data type is new.

7. Import the CSV and link it up to my function that parse through AJAX.

8. Create a new section in that function to toss all data from AJAX parsing to the array.

Thanks for a detailed answer! I'll test this and check some related tutorials aswell.

Congrats to all winners! Sadly I didn't know the existence of C2 when this jam was starting. When is the next one?

If I understand right, you want an event to happen if number between 30 to 40 is chosen when calculating a (random?) number between 0 to 100?

Could you be a little more precise? Is the problem with your browser, or with Construct?
