  • EVERYONE LOVES PIZZA!

    Subscribe to Construct videos now

    Hi everyone, I have just released in Early Access a game that I started to work on a few years ago. I let many friends play it and everyone loves it.

    I have been suggested to release it even if it's not complete because the game is already fun as it is, so I am trying to listen the suggestion this time and see how it will goes, putting it on sale at very cheap price. If it happens that you give it a go, please let me know and feel free to share a video of you playing with friends and family.

    The game works only with gamepads and joysticks and supports up to 6 players.

    Everyone Loves Pizza! is quite simple, take the pizza and bring it to the goal avoiding the other players and pineapples that will try to steal it from you. It's so simple that even little children can play it and have great fun, so it's a game for the whole family. It's a great party game to pull out when guests comes to visit you.

    Will you be able to get more pizza than anyone else?

  • Hi OVB,

    Have you received the email I have sent to you on the 09/04/2026?

    Thanks

  • I can confirm that there is no Audio if you record a Video.

    I use the LTS Version on Edge.

    Thank you for checking it out :-)

  • Thank you for the project citron2010, that let me understand the issue I'm having since it's not in your project.

    Basically I'm playing a video with the Video plugin and I want to use the VideoRecorder to record it, downloading the file with the browser plugin.

    The file is downloaded and the video played correctly, however while the visual is fine, the audio is missing.

    I have now I added a SFX in my project to be played when the video starts, to see if it's registered. In this case, yes, the SFX is played, but the audio coming from the video played through the Video plugin is not present in the downloaded file.

    Could you try to record a video played by the Video plugin using the Video Recorder and see if the audio is present once the file has been downloaded?

    Thanks.

  • I have noticed the issue a few months ago, but I though I did something wrong, I was in a rush and just used the video without audio. Today I tried to use again the VideoRecorder and found out with multiple test, that the audio is not recorded. I tried with the C3 preview, exporting it for Linux and even as Playable Ad (single file).

    In all these cases, using both Firefox and Ungoogled Chrome, the audio is never recorded.

    I tried also the Playable Ad file on a Windows 10 computer and again, even there using Firefox and this time Chrome, the audio wasn't recorded.

    I wonder if it's an old issue that no one noticed or is it something that's happening only o my side?

  • Hi, thank you for the quick reply.

    I have just sent you an email with lots of links from my previous work (public and some of the private ones that I am allowed to share).

    I am looking forward to hear from you.

    Thank you.

    Where should I send you the required information to apply for the job?

    Thank you.

  • A few weeks ago I found that there was a competition to program a game in BASIC, 10 line of code. I choose the most difficult category, max 80 characters per line and I recreated my very first game for the MSX, but with the addition of text, thing that I didn't know was possible to have together with sprites, or better the other way around, have sprites in the text mode.

    Publishing it has finally closed something that was waiting to be done for at least 35 years! 🙂

    I am glad that now I can use Construct to develop games much faster and way more complex, but who knows, I might retro-program some of my new games for the MSX in BASIC one day, even if it's not so great for developing games, but serve greatly as easy entry to the programmers' world.

    If you are curious to read more details about it, you can check it out at this link. There is also all the code visible and commented step by step, in addition to the file that you can download and launch with an MSX emulator.

  • > Still many miss the ethical point

    I'm not a fricking philosopher I'm here to make web games and farm moola from kids playing them

    Vibecoding go brrrrr and u go back to your english major classes or something

    You don't need to be a philosopher to understand what medium and long term economy consequences will be. If you are able to program a game, you should have already the math and logic knowledge to forecast what the consequences will be.

    dop2000 I know that you want to use it for good, but the tool you are using is not comparable to a knife, but more to borrowing from a credit card company to pay the interest of another credit card. Yes, you can kick the can with good intention for a while, but you end up bringing not only you, but the whole family to a disastrous situation.

    The fact is that you don't control AI, but you are at its mercy, or better at the mercy of who controls it. You can see what they are doing with digital currencies, sold to people as convenience, but used as tool to control people. Where they can take money away from you with a click, o better AI will do it according to what you have done or not. Likewise, you will be able to use AI only if you are an obedient citizen, therefore the tools and devices you are using that relies on AI to work (example future Construct) will be working for you only if you obey to whatever will be pushed down to you. Keep using AI is only going to accelerate to move towards a dystopian future.

    There is always the option to don't do something, that might seems a burden now, but will be a better investment for everyone's future. And for those that says that it's not possible to stop it, think about many examples of similar things that happened in the past. Who would have bet for example, that unarmed Indian men could win against armed British colonists? Sometimes, it just need to take courage and take action.

    For the ones that instead don't care about all the things that I am saying, think that a good part of your potential players will not buy your game because it's done using AI. You have the option to lie to them and say that you don't use it, I am sure many will do it, as someone seems not caring like AmogusJS, but if things comes out you might face a big backlash from your users. Same things applies to anyone producing software, hardware, goods, services, etc. Recent history shown how people reacted when things where forced upon them with famous brand in the past years.

  • When the market will be flooded with AI generated products, people will be fired and the same people will not have a job, who will have money to buy your "cool game", especially since everyone will make their own once AI will advance more. So using AI is like committing suicide and bring down with you as many people as possible.

    Still many miss the ethical point, not the feasibility of using or not AI to make games or whatever. And I can still see that not even one has ever replied to my points, because AI users know that they can't provide a ethical answer to it.

    The fact that everyone will use AI then if you don't will be behind is the same like saying everyone is stealing/killing/committing violence, if you are not doing it you will be behind. Who cares about ethics? Just think about money, money that as said above there will not be there in the future. It will be like to try to sell air to breath in a clean world. Everyone can breath, why should they pay you money? And again, who pays the bills? Still no one answers to all those questions.

    Guys, this an ethical issue, not a technical issue. It's like the difference between developers that wants to make gambling games because who cares about other people's life, I need money and the ones that it's ok to make little money as long as I feel my game is providing happiness to people, not problems.

  • I can see how everyone that supports AI haven't ever replied to the question, why a company would burn billion of dollars to give people a free tool without getting anything back.

    That's the n.1 danger of using AI, for everyone.

    Aside for that, if JS and TS gives you plenty of free example to use AI, why you need Scirra to waste their time and the money we pay for the service to work on something that only a little percentage of people are asking it for.

    I remember Scirra didn't want to invest to add additional features for multiplayer because not many people use it, why AI when there are so many other software that can make a game for you guys?

  • "AI is here to stay." A lie repeated often enough, becomes truth.

    What about people that loves AI pay with their money for something that they want instead of pushing it for everyone that don't want it around?

    C3 has a subscription model and I'm already not happy to pay something forever, if I have to pay for something not only that I don't need, but that it's dangerous, I would quit straight away to use C3 and I guess others would do it too.

    It's better that Scirra concentrate on something that is really useful for he majority of users. If people wants to use AI, they can move to other script languages, like C# and ask AI to program Space Invaders for them because they don't have the passion for learning their hobby or even worse their job.

  • If you don't want to program, then just hire developers and take care of other parts as game designer. If you need AI also for game design, maybe just give funds to support a studio that work for you. If you don't have money, donate to the ones creating games. If you can't even put money and no one of the above, well then find a hobby that you enjoy. That means enjoy the full process, from the idea, to its creation process and finally the reward feeling of all the journey you have faced.

    People fails thinking with about AI in so many fields. I leave out the part that it was purposely done to ruin humanity, let's assume that the unaware people are right and it's not true. Let's pretend that it is only a tool to help, well what's the point of it? What are you living for? To have AI doing everything for you?

    We are forgetting that as humans we can recognise patterns, find similarities and develop synergistic skills. What you see as waste of time in learning the code it will be useful for you with other skills in life.

    For example, before, when teachers at schools let you take notes and you end up with the same stuff written in the books, you actually created a connection in your brain between the movement of the hand that writes with the hears that listen and the eyes that reads what you write. That helps to remember much better something than simply read it on a book, because you have now 3 different type of memories for the same thing, in addition to the skill of taking out the less important things and write the core information that the teacher was teaching.

    When you code by yourself, look for something that might help you reading the manual, checking the books or on the Internet, yes, you are advancing much slower, but you are building the foundation of your knowledge. Foundation that will be much stronger than have someone or something doing the work for you.

    If you go to the restaurant and order lasagne you can eat them faster than cooking them by yourself, but you will never learn how to cook lasagne and similarly other foods that has something in common. You don't need to re-learn how to make the same mince sauce for make pasta with ragù, you already learn the main part of the cooking thanks to the time you have "wasted" earlier. In addition, the more you cook, the more you can fix issues when cooking new dishes and you learn how to create new recipes, also you will do it faster, with less mess and learn how to optimise the process without having to fix mistakes.

    You have only to lose when use AI.

    Then where are we going next?

    "Hey AI, can you play this game for me?"

    "Hey AI, can you make this drawing for me?"

    And then, going on.

    "Hey AI, can you spend intimate time with my partner for me?"

    (I would have said it in a more colorful way, but this forum has not an age restriction, so I let you imagine what I meant. Hopefully people don't need to ask to the AI to figure out what I meant).

    Here I just copy and paste one of my many replies about AI from the endless AI lovers on Facebook, just to give more points about why AI is bad in everything possible.

    TLTR 8 - Points why using AI is bad:

    All of you are disconnected from reality, what happened when companies brought the production out of their country to produce in a cheaper country? They made money in the short term, then in the medium-long term they are all loosing money, because they have fired people, all little companies working for those big ones have closed down, same for many other services where the factories where located. Restaurants and such all closed because less people are working there. Result, the company that now produces the product X at cheaper cost, wants to sell it inside their country, unfortunately that country together will all the other "smart" (ass) companies have contributed to ruin the local economy. Result, they cannot sell anymore the product X because no one has a damn job anymore.

    With AI will be even worse, not only local people will lose their job, but there will be no benefit even for people where the labor is cheaper.

    When all your cool games, programs, art, and other things you have made will flood the market with no one that have a cent to buy those because everyone has lost the job, where will be the benefit for everyone?

    That's one thing.

    Second, if the AI will not work for any reason, no Internet connection, some problem on the server, etc. What are you going to do when everything will rely on that? You are going to do like the Australians that try to escape the bushfire with the car and couldn't put petrol because the Internet connection was gone with the fire and the digital payment were offline.

    Third, the more people will relay on AI, the less will be able to do anything by themself, with result of dumb themselves down. See already how much we can do without technology. If the Internet goes down for any reason so many people are not able to survive because the whole food production and distribution will collapse. Think about when everything will be managed by AI.

    Forth, how much are you sure that AI software cannot be hacked and mismanaging things. See India that is gone full digital and "hackers" create issues canceling food stamps for a large area of people, many of which starved to death.

    Fifth. AI is a program ad you all as programmers, should be the first ones to know that a program responds to the one that coded and controls it. Today it gives you a good answer, tomorrow maybe, it depends if your social score is high enough. Or maybe gives the wrong answers to everyone in order to enforce a strong control on population. Also, now you have free access to AI, then when the majority of people and companies will rely on it, they will put a crazy access fee to it and people will be forced to pay because their business otherwise will collapse since it will be all relying on it.

    Sixth. AI use an amount of resources just because many people don't want to use their brain or muscle.

    Seventh. When AI is taking care or all the creative aspects of life, what will be the meaning for you? What are you living for? Just for a pale satisfaction to have "done" something prompting the AI a couple of lines. Where is the satisfaction of have spent energy, learnt and master a skill?

    I conclude with a question that everyone should ask themselves, but only a few think about it. Which company in the world as business plan decides to spends billions of their and investors dollars, just to give you a product for free. Take all the time you need to find an answer, but make sure that it's a real answer no some non-sense excuse to make yourself feel not guilty of using AI.

  • > You may not like it, but AI is here to stay. Those who don't use it will be left behind.

    I completely agree. I understand why everyone hate it, but protesting AI is like denying climate change - pointless. It's already here, deal with it and adapt.

    Well, climate change exists because it's a natural thing. Then on top of that there is climate manipulation. Those are two different things.

    It was way more hotter before, or do we think people pollute so much 200 years ago? How come Romans where going around with no heavy clothes at all, going to wars with sandals and how come Hannibal cross the alps with elephants. Elephants are not animals that enjoy to walk on ice... This just to have an example.

    You'd better use something else than climate change as comparison :-p
