  • If you are using 8 direction control for your enemies all enemies will jump that are on screen.

    You can use Y coordinates to simulate a jump and use that for a character specific behavior event.

    On Enemy1 collision with Wall move Enemey1 -40 in Y direction.

    Something like that.

  • Nice graphic and movement action!

  • Have you looked in the Scirra store?

    https://www.scirra.com/store/games-with-source/c2-clicker-template-game-666

    Not my template and have not tried it but looks like you want a basic clicker game layout.

  • Gravity Wars

    Gyrorocket

    Space Dungeon

  • If you upload your game to the Scirra arcade you can set up a leaderboard and let that take care of high scores.

    Otherwise you will need to use local storage.

    Is your name Tom?

    You are being a troll and you know it.

    My post was to Tom not you.

    "We will still have a basic free edition of Construct 3." - posted by Scirra on the blog three days ago. You can use C3 whether you subscribe or not. What's your opinion about that?

    Depends on what is has in the way of features and like I said I am not against them releasing another version and maybe there are more game designers that want to develop for consoles that will be interested.

    I am sure I will probably try out the free version and my point was about increasing customer volume instead of focusing on a small market of console and mobile game designers and taking care of those that have supported you and not dumping us as I have seen happen with other game engines going to subscriptions.

    That is my thoughts on that and my post was to Tom and is my opinion.

    Construct 2 owners are a small base of customers. Can you link me to where you are finding these fake facts?

    The upgrade is for C2 owners with a personal license I do believe.

    Your tone is offensive.

    End of discussion.

    They are, it's $49 for a year when you upgrade. That's the price you wanted. Then after a year you can decide if it's worth paying $99.

    Many people considering C3 will not have a license to upgrade so you are focusing on a small base of customers.

    Have a great day!

  • lol, fall in love. Lovin' that imagination of yours though. Keep it up, but of course in-line with your game.

    I was just saying, due to the immens popularity of GTA people will immediately think your is about something similar, while it's actually the opposite. It does attract attention to your game by the name alone though. But I don't know, this is just my opinion.

    I'm also working on games for fun, although my current project has gotten out of hand a bit. But we'll see, I'm busy assuring quality so perhaps there are some monetisation opions in the future.

    One of the turn offs that parents have to GTA is the criminal element and violence. This is going to be focused for those who like to drive and accomplish missions and have adventures but with a positive message so parents won't be offended by the game.

    Thanks for the feedback and have a great day!

    I think his point was that at 3x price your customer count goes down to 1/10. It won't scale in their favour.

    In any case, I fear Bleenx is correct. My instant reaction on seeing the announcement was "shit... this is not gonna work out is it". One of the problems is C2 is already pretty feature-complete. Scirra needs to offer some strong incentives to pull customers in to buy C3, and 99$ subscription is a large pull in the wrong direction.

    I agree and unless C3 can do 3D or something amazing not even possible with C2 I just can's see spending more for it as I am not designing for consoles and that is a limited customer base I believe.

    I also worry they will just drop support for C2 to focus on C3 and that would be leaving out a whole lot of users that have committed to using C2.

    I am not against a new version or Scirra making money but I have seen this happen with 001 Game maker and they had a great game engine but subscriptions and lack of update and support for older versions killed them off.

    Take care of your customer base that feeds you every day I say!

    Maybe $99 a year is not expensive for you but I see many people on Scirra are young kids and people from other countries where $99 is a lot of money.

    Shutting those customers and potential customers out with a high cost is not a good idea but hey you are welcome to your opinion.
