  • This is my game-tribute to Kentaro Miura, creator of Berserk.

    His manga has contributed to defining what I am and my tastes.

    I hope that this little fan game might help to keep his memory alive among his fans.

    WARNING:

    This game has FLASHING EFFECTS.

  • As long as it works for you, all good :)

    In the store, setting the price as "Lowest Priced" or "Highest Priced" doesn't sort the items in the correct order.

  • I will not probably use it, at least in the short time, but I really want to take the chance to thank you for all your effort to help the community.

    I don't usually use third party plugins, but I would definitely consider yours if I will be forced to use one.

    Thanks again :)

    Is it possible to see the discounted price + its percentage in the Bundle creation page before publishing it?

    Once again we got a weird rounding 49% that doesn't look so good for buyers.

    Since bundles can't be edit, in this way we could at least take some action ahead.

    If we can see it before, we can tweak the percentages to make it a whole number.

    Thank you!

  • It really depends on the game and at the stage where you are at now.

    For example if you are in early or late stage of a matching 3 game, then it's ok to wait to hire someone at the end of the process, as long as you know a little bit about art and how to implement it. So for the programming part you should know that a 32x32 sprite is more efficient than a 34x34 one and therefore you will need to set your game for optmisation and pass the same info to the artist at the end.

    If you are planning to develop an RPG, well you might want to contact one artist during development because while you can add lots of arts and animation at high definition pixel art, the artist can't produce so much quantity of art in short time and for cheap. The artist might even not accept the work because too big and long. In this case you might want to have someone to get on board so you can compromise the game with the art considering programming limitation and art time and cost.

    SketchyLogic I never thought to ever come across to read such a poetic post about how nice is to develop with nostalgia on old software.

    You made my day, even if I'm just going to sleep now :P

  • I'm sorry i was rude, I shouldn't tell you what to do

    That's ok, no worries. It was a good chance to explain readers the different point of view of people. Not everyone is at the same level and what is important for you might not be for me and vice versa.

    Everyone have different knowledge and interest in life :-)

  • You can either manually add all the names of the layout in an array and pick one random name from the list, but that would be annoying to update and upkeep if you rename any layer. Or with your current convention if your levels never has 2 digit like 1-10, then you can use this formula.

    Go to Layout (by name) -> floor(random(X,Y)) & "-" floor(random(A,B))

    Where X is the minimum value of the number to the left and Y is the maximum + 1.

    A and B are the corresponding or X and B for the number to the left of your layout name.

    If your levels have 2 digit or more like said before 1-10, you will have to rename all of them adding a 0 if they are a single digit like 01-10 and use the zeropad in the formula.

  • I mean sure, but if you have questions, you could just ask me, you don'T need to pay 150$

    I don't think we are talking about the same thing here...

  • you only get a 20% discount

    only the cave runner game kit is worth it's price

    this bundle is not worth it at all

    it's like

    get one, pay for five

    Hi eleanorjmorel,

    Thanks for your comment.

    I have contacted every single developer and that's the discount everyone has agreed to give. Because everyone gives value to their work depending on their personal life experience and investment done during development.

    I understand that you are an expert Construct developer and therefore you don't think the other templates are valuable to you. I am not sure how you can evaluate the worth of a template without buying it, but I understand that a first look might give you enough to judge.

    However, I would invite you to consider that not everyone that approaches Construct is an expert user and therefore the current price, converted in working hours that an absolute beginner should invest in learning, is much more convenient.

    For example, let's assume the buyer has a job that earns $20/h, that's not even 1 day of work to buy the 6 templates. Now, think how many months a beginner has to spend to learn all the mechanics to recreate these 6 templates. In the case of this person, it's absolutely worth it.

    Now an expert user, like you doesn't really need to buy a template. For example, in the past I bought only the Beat'em Up / 2D Scrolling template, just because I was curious to see if the way Danuyos implemented the Z-order sorting was the same as I did. I never needed to buy a template because I know I can do it by myself. On the other hand, I know many people that buy templates to learn from them. I had and currently have, clients that buy lots of templates because they are just starting with Construct. So once again, that's a personal thing.

    If you think that only one of the template is worth, I invite you to keep an eye on Tokinsom, ChrisZero and danuyos pages and see if sometimes they run a temporarily higher discount :-)
