  • Lol, can't wait? I've uploaded the preliminary 0.9 runtimes including this fix to here. Extract to the Data directory.

    I can't remember if we've changed anything else in particular, they might not work, in which case you'll have to wait!

  • I'm curious too <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" />

  • Thanks, this is fixed in the next build.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Just to reassure some of you, we will still be staying committed to events and script-free coding. If we add a new feature it will be available in both python and events. I intend that it be possible to write entire games either purely in events, or purely in script - or with both, in a way that each complements the other.

  • It won't straight away run on different platforms, we're still going for Windows only for the initial SDL runtime - but it certainly does make it a lot easier to port - DirectX is pretty much tied to Windows <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" />

  • Can you send the cap to ashley@scirra.com? Thanks.

  • Yeah, we need a new physics mode - fixed framerate. At the moment it is dependent on a high resolution timer timing the exact differences between each frame, which varies every time you run, so it has differences each time. Fixed framerate physics should fix that, I'll try adding for 0.9.

  • Nice, chains in physics seem to work pretty well <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

  • Woops, that's a cosmetic problem, fixed for 0.89. The action still works like you made it (the image point is "point" and the stiffness is 99), it's just displaying it wrong.

  • Well I can't reproduce the collisions thing, if I add an event testing for collision between Sprite1 and Sprite2, it seems to work fine. Which objects dont seem to work correctly? Is it when using an attribute, or family, or something? Which events specifically "just don't get created"?

  • What happens when you think the game file is corrupted? I think it's rare the actual .cap file gets saved wrong, that code is pretty reliable - you're probably seeing UI bugs or other problems that need to be reported. If you sent a .cap to me that does this, then I may be able to fix it.

  • Just make a save/loading app in Construct, using the array object <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

    0.89 is released now and has the changes you wanted.

  • In just over two months we've gone from 0.8 to 0.89, as you can see here - so, assuming we keep up the same rate of release, some time in March we should arrive at 1.0. However, we still have a lot of documentation to do, so I'm guessing it might take a little longer.

    0.89 is approaching a good level of stability. Why don't you try it out and post your feedback here? What is lacking most, and what is the biggest preventer of you making your big game? Feedback like yours is what we need to drive Construct to be what you want it to be...

  • ashley@scirra.com and I'll take a look, thanks.

    0.89 has the usual slew of bugfixes, a few new features, and the return of 10 plugins.

    The under-the-hood changes to make an SDL software runtime and Python scriptability are also being prepared, so we should have news on this front soon!

    Changelog:

    • 'Force own texture' option added to layers: changes rendering to make Erase effects work (use instead of 99% opacity)
    • Added ability to get object count on a specific layer - pass a layer parameter to TotalObjects (eg. TotalObjects("Layer 1"))
    • Fixed collision bugs involving very wide objects and issues with nonrotated objects
    • Improved stability of Create Hinge to Object in Physics movement (calling at certain times was unstable)
    • Some people reported 3DBox not appearing in the object list. This ought to be resolved.
    • RTS movement: enhanced Pathfinding settings allowing you to specify other types to navigate around other than 'Solid'
    • Double-clicking a sprite in the layout editor now edits the frame that it is showing
    • Application properties: added 'FPS in caption' option for easy performance tests
    • Array object: added compare value at x, xy, xyz conditions
    • INI object is back
    • Date object is back
    • Image object is back
    • AVI object is back
    • Card game object is back
    • Progress object is back
    • Window object is back
    • Path object is back
    • ZIP object is back
    • List object is back
