  • Yeah. I would love to stick with just AdMob and not bother with another plugin for another ad network. Hoping to get an answer to this. I know they released it for Unity.

    I'm hoping Josek creates a plugin because his Admob plugin still works and it's still the one I use today.

    By the way you game title "Ball Walker" reminds me of Paul Walker.

  • You can do a game jam, there will be the Bad Box Art challenge on gamejolt starting the 24 march. (ends the 27 march)

    Why is this image in their "Gallery of Trash." :

    This is a very nice box art. For shame.

  • . I need a challenge such as a (game type) in (time limit) or something along those lines. If you have any Ideas please let me know. )

    I know. Create a Giant Segmented Winged Dragon Coiled up Dog Turd version of Flappy Bird where the obstacles are a bunch of Match-3 Blocks and Zombies.

  • This is really inspiring to see people developing something so beautiful from a minimally supported software.

    Being a poor ************ I probably won't be able to afford C3 when it launches so this really inspires me to try and create something good in C2 before even thinking of moving to C3.

  • Talking about all the different game modes - have you seen this (perhaps it was an inspiration?):

    That right there is a perfect example of "Gimmick: The Game."

    I think if you're gonna do a Frankenmashup game then either:

    -Use different assets but keep the same rules/physics per level (Abobo's Big Adventure)

    -Different mechanics per level with the same art style. (Dumb Ways to Die)

    Pick one, not BOTH. I'm not a fan of the aforementioned games and especially not of a game that changes both art style AND gameplay every 2 seconds without at least giving you a chance to learn the rules. But that's just me.

  • I don't completely understand your problem but from what I can tell you want the camera to maintain a relative Y distance to the player?

    Could you check this capx if this is what you mean?

  • Gotcha, so that's done ... but the scroll when the player leaves the "camera" box is very jerky regardless of which number I use.

    Hmmm.... Then maybe you should decide on a different position for the camera box and not use that:

    "camera x is overlapping player" statement. I can imagine the Y component of the camera is constantly catching up and re-centering.

    Try : Set Camera.Y to PlayerAnimations.Y - 200 (or the distance you're comfortable with) or something. Only the X component has that "catching up" effect and the Y is constant.

  • sprite

    Yes now all you have to do is invert the 2nd statement just like last example.

  • However when the player leaves the "camera" box because they are not overlapping it anymore, the screen jumps to the players position very sharply. How do I smooth this out?

    Well it gets that instant jumping into position because you are setting it PlayerAnimations.

    Use LERP to get that that "camera catching up to player" effect.

    Every Tick | Box set X to lerp(Self.X,PlayerAnimations.X, 0.5)

    x Is overlapping PlayerAnimations | Box set Y to lerp(Self.y,PlayerAnimations.Y, 0.5)

    You can increase or decrease the scroll speed by replacing the 3rd element of the lerp which in the example above is the 0.5 quantity.

    Try replacing it with 0.2-0.9 and see what best fits your needs.

  • The player animations sprite has the scroll to behaviour, however when the player jumps it also scrolls up and down as it follows the player completely. I'd like the camera to follow the player horizontally, and only move vertically when they go outside of a defined zone.

    That's why you should put the SCROLL_TO behavior on a separate invisible box so you have complete control over it.

    Of course you wouldn't be able to have the degree of control you want if you put it on the Player itself.

  • Well for the rest of the game just create a box that has the SCROLL TO behavior and at all times set its position to the torso of your Player sprite.

    But for:

    Where X enters the door, you have to move both your player and the box. The box moves to the center of the room slightly faster than the player and the player's animation as well as physics is halted for a while. It's all about dividing all motion into subcomponents.
