Nice !

Most of the points are really obvious, but I guess a reminder couldn't hurt, so thanks for sharing.

However, there are a lot of controversial opinions too in this article, so I think it must be taken with caution.

Nice demo !

The 'Little green soldier" is orange most of the time, though ^^

Hello,

In my game (for desktop, not mobile devices), I want to use the "replace color" effect to change the color of my character's clothes, decorative elements, etc...

I ran a few tests and it works quite well, but I have a some questions :

• I use 25% tolerance with this effect to change the color I want and the shadows for this color (basically it is the same color with a black form with 20% opacity on top of it in Inkscape). It works most of the time without impacting other colors, but for some colors the color is changed but not the shadows for this color, so I was wondering how does Construct 2 determine that a color is close or not according to tolerance ?

• Furthermore, and that may be the real issue here, I wanted to use this effect a lot in my project to avoid creating new sprites, but is it a good idea ? I mean I don't want too much effects to damage the performances of the game, or getting a suspicious-looking display on some computers because the effect is not supported... Is it better to create new sprites everytime at the risk of weighing down the game a lot ?

Thank you for the link, I will take a look !

I will look for any employment if I have no other choice, but if I can I want to kill two birds with one stone and find a daily job in the video game industry, because it will be far more interesting and educational to work with other video games enthusiasts, and it will allow me to work on other kinds of project.

I am well aware that a forum is not the ideal place to find a job, but I have nothing to lose by doing so and I wish to give it a try !

I could not be more motivated, and I am sure that I could become an great asset for the company which will trust me !

Thx imothep85, but I already consult this page regularly.

Unfortunately, most offers ask for skills in 3D rendering, but I specialize in 2D art.

Furthermore, several years of experience in the video game industry are required almost every time, but ironically because of that I can't prove myself, that's why I hope to find somebody who will be willing to give a chance to me here.

Video games have always been my passion, and I thought about new concepts and ways to improve existing series since I was little.

It is rather complicated for a young game designer to make a living, so I have to work on the communication of other companies.

I learned a lot from that, but that is not what I want to do with my life.

I'm ready to work hard for my dream job, but I need somone to trust me !

Hello !

My name is Steven, I'm 22, and I'm a self-employed graphic designer and webdesigner in France. However, I'm looking for a more stable professional situation.

It's been 2 years since I started using Construct 2, and during my free time I'm working on a big real-time RPG project all by myself (kind of like the Tales of series). Also, fascinated by music, I've been learning to play the guitar in self-taught for 2 years.

I'm a versatile quick-learner, I'm curious, creative and dynamic, I speak French fluently and I manage very well in English. (I have some bases in Italian, Russian and Latin too, but it's not my strong suit...)

Also, I would love to travel, so working abroad wouldn't be a problem.

As I said before, I'm looking for a permanent contract, ideally as a game designer or 2D artist.

If you are potentially interested, please let me know !

In any case, thank you for your time !

I recently wrote a small tutorial on Scirra, here is the link if you're interested :

By the way, if anyone could help us for that, it would be greatly appreciated

Well, I learned a lot from the official Construct2 manual and tutorials (I strongly advise you to check them as often as needed), and other users helped me now and then when I had questions ^^

I'm sorry I don't know how to access specific data from the json file yet, I learned how tu use NW.js by myself a week ago and I didn't have time to learn that ^^'

I'm interested in that too, so please let me know if you find a way to do so

You wouldn't want your player to lose dozens of hours of game in a few seconds, except if he choses to erase his savegame himself.

PulvererPeter

I'm glad I could help you

Well, the normal "system save and load" uses json too, but it stores data in either WebStorage or IndexedDB

(I'm not really sure where it is exactly), which are in theory "permanent storages" and are not affected by the user clearing their cache.

However if he uses a program such as CCleaner, the savegame may be erased... (that's what appened to me ^^')

So to avoid problems and prevent the user to lose his savegame, it's important to save the game in a file, especially if your game is a desktop application.
