  • i also have some apps on iTunes and Google store, but they are all rated exactly of what the action are about in the game, if its violence i read the rating for it where it might go, if doesn't have i rate it as low as possible . you can send your app to a test to Google, iTunes and ask for a rating before u rate it yourself. iTunes i know for a fact they do that, don't remember about Google, but i guess they have some option like that.

  • So, finally I uploaded my first app to Google Play yesterday. AdMob, Analytics etc is ready to go. The game is a very simple game that is about reaction time by splatting as many worms as possible as fast as possible. These cartoon style worms lives in your garden and your mission is to defend the vegetables in the garden. After a while, moles start to show up along with the worms. Those moles are not to be splatted, if you do splat them you will get a penalty.

    Ok, so far so good. I read about the Google play maturity levels and I found that since this app show an artificial blood splat, that is, some cartoonish violence I didn't set it to no maturity, instead I set it to the second lowest level, where it according to the set rules should be. So what happens? Google decides to set the maturity level to "Medium high" due to the logo, which is a creepy carrot and I got a standardized threat that if this happens again they will ... and that they track everything.

    I don't know if I should laugh or cry and initially I thought of re-branding the whole thing since I have another two games coming out really soon, but then I realized that I of course should ask you guys/gals here. You probably know the answer to this:

    In what way do the Google Play maturity levels affects downloads? Will it prohibit the youngest kids from downloading this free app if the maturity level is set to "Medium High"? Are there anything else to consider related to the maturity level classification? Will it affect AdMob ads?

    Should I re-brand it?

    Thank you!

    clearly you did not read the 10 pages rules they have

    instead of showing blood, (that is so old in games, its to cheesy in my opinion) i wold change the blood effect with carrot juice or a explosion flash like (kapaw and a star behind it ) that's if u want to be rated 12+ if u want 4+ then u have to not show any violence at all not even throwing rocks, because 4+ years old and under 14 they tend to do what they see( monkey see , monkey do) so imagine u have a kid playing you'r game that kills carrots , and then takes a hammer goes outside and hammers his dog or his toes (cause they look like carrots- the toes) whats the result of that? as stupid it may sound, there are many cases of juvenile aggression because of the actions they do in games, heard so many story's u cant believe it, and USA its one of the most country's that have issues like this, kids to spoiled, and USA its Google's market mostly. |And because Google's headquarters are in USA they have to follow some rules, and you have to follow them 2 in order to make money with them in this program they have. cheers hope you really think before you publish something and try to think what is practical and cool for kids , not of what you think it may be cool and what you like.(that's called market research)

  • you can do it with arrays setting different arrays to different RGB codes then just load that

  • Looks great man real complex!

    thanks , even though i released it on scirra store, i still need to work further to it and update as many things possible so users can just change graphics prices and export games the rest its good in my opinion, if u have some knowledge of c2 usage its a good template ... now depends on what people expects.

    im working now on a pool template maybe multiplayer support also

    Use this topic to leave comments, ask questions and talk about Time Management Game Template

    !!!Attention Read before post/buy!!!

    I tried to keep the template as simple as possible, the current version is not a complete game, but it can be turned into 1 very easy if you know a bit of how construct 2 works. there is no math involved in template, however you must know how " booleans " work, and other functionalities as " instance variables" , and " global variables " , and " families ", other way i don't encourage you to buy it, unless you want to learn the hard way, i don't have time to make a tutorial or manual for it for now, but i added comments on what i was thinking is the most needed information for you to be able to understand what each event does. Its a simple template that you can understand easy if you will finish or understand how to use the " Flapin bird tutorial " game in the c2 defaults. However the next update will need you to know how to use Facebook API since will have a login and registration, also a load save action based on it. All feature updates il be post it here for this template, if you have any issues or bugs you can either post here a reply or look into the template for the email i added for contact support. Thanks for your support towards my work, and for purchasing the Template. Hope you find it useful and you will learn better C2. And hope to see many Time management games in future, will make me a very happy monkey <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing">

    New Version updated, ### 198 Beta Shop Ready Template v1.2 ###

    - The shop items are now functional. Each item you purchase in shop, is unlocked when u purchase atleast 5 vendors, and once you purchased them the amount of money needed is withdrawn,and the vendors will be running in idle mode (you don't need to click them anymore to earn money).

    - Reduced the size of events from initial 860 to 420 . There was a problem with Text display and duplications and also the way numbers shows digits after a few millions earned. Will try to fix it in future. for now its basics display.

    Edited :

    Demo version available to play on scirra store item page.

    Important Notice

    Right now the assets may look doll or raw, but soon all uploads will come in shape, as I'm going to polish them and change all the missing pieces, so they look more shinny <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz"> and give a better idea of what the templates can be turned into.

  • I have an idea for a game that I believe could be a hit but before going further, I need to prove it can work.

    To this end I am looking for someone to create this as a proof of concept that would serve as a testing ground for it's future development (or not as the case maybe).

    What I need is a C2 capx, that when run;

    Prompts for no of players to max of 5.

    On entering no of players, the game constructs a grid based on each player having a 10 x 10 block of squares. Each square being 32 x 32 pixels. (for theme think Holodeck Star Trek).

    Each player has an EP (Energy) of 100 each displayed.

    Play starts at random, players double click squares to move around, each square costing 10 EP.

    The idea is a turn based strategy.

    There is more but this is all that is needed and without giving too much away.

    Please state your hourly rate.

    based on what u said it should be possible, it will need some event lines but not to serios coding, as for online multiplayer base, if something is possible in offline mode will be on online multiplayer base, just i dont know how to set it up

    oh wait this is a job offer, ... was thinking you just wanted to ask so you can build it yourself its not that big of a deal its actually easy to do u dont need to hire someone its a matter of linking the multiplayer base to show other players what your character changes have done thats all

  • ...................... never mind i wrote a stupidity

  • i found something here that looks promising maybe u can find an alternative on github that does the same thing or load the css for text ? that will be helpful for u http://css-tricks.com/set-text-on-a-circle/

  • try with 1- sprite.numbertest

  • Hi,

    any easy solution to create a curved text?

    Thanx!

    i wold say , photoshop? and arc options, as for coding, dont have a clue ... let me search that for you sounds a nic feature

  • So i am making a layout where inorder to access the 2nd side of the map you need to go through a portal and press Space on released.

    Now i used the same coding for the other portal so its like this Portal A ----> Portal B with space release and then Portal B---->Portal A with space release.

    Apparently these event are looping on space release. I even rename the sprite created two different sprite and created two different animation frame to have the condition to check.... IT still looping what gives ?

    Another thing i need to point out is that yes i can go Portal A to portal B but apparently the game thinks to do Portal B to Portal B.

    And yes i did test with two different button press and it work fine. My question is why is it not working with just space release for both ? even if the condition are different. Is it a bug ?

    i wold say exactly what people above sayd, use 'trigger once while true' condition, and change from when released to when pressed on released its to hard for c2 to reconize sometimes better use the when pressed condition, always performs better.
