Tuna's right. Indie developers of the web, UNITE!

Or you could just upload it to Scirra's Arcade.

I just wrote a super long post about their arcade and my theories about what HBgames will produce with construct 2. But I decided to keep it to myself and see if any of it holds true.

I just got home from my weekend trip. Tomorrow I'll take a look at C2.

The hope is to eventually set up our own arcade, if we can work out how. But that's for the future.

Tom here from Scirra! Just dropping in and saying hi :) I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about Construct 2.

This competition looks great and we're excited to be involved in a small way!

Thanks Tom! Did you get that email I sent you with the questions posed by staff? :)

No I didn't! Please resend it to tom at scirra dot com and also support at scirra dot com in case it doesn't get through again!

Re-sent!

--Oops, I forwarded it and didn't update the number of copies. Well, you get the picture anyway :P

What happens if an Awesome Bro places in one of the top three spots? I ask because I'm going to be competing, which makes a total of two competitors who already have the rank. (And at the moment, I am unaware of anyone else who is actually competing)

We promise: You will continue to be a super awesome bro, bro.

Thanks got the questions I'll try get these sent back sometime tomorrow for you!

Well... am I included in that... IF not... make it 3.

I'm still getting use to the maker... and will be competing too.

Yes, you're included in that. I don't know about any of the others, but I do know you've posted a thread for your entry already.

Edit: Also, it's conqueror, not conquer. Two different variations of the same base. You used the verb, the one you need is the pronoun.

LoL, made me remember this...

I can already see myself forgetting about this once I get Mass Effect 3...
But only time can tell whether I'll actually finish making a game for the first time ever

Between work, learning the software, Spring break the last week of March. Oh and since I pre-ordered rpgmaker Ace I'll want to play with that next week. I'm going to have to plan my time carefully.

I drew a game concept on paper last night. It's about fish and it's all controlled with a mouse. I messed around with sprite movement last night. Gunna work on the core gameplay tonight. I'll post a development thread once I have more then just a working idea.

Hey, I don't know how many of you have checked out the arcade section of their website, but these rotary games are pretty inspiring and use the engine to its potential - http://www.scirra.com/arcade/addicting-rotary-games

As a response to anyone who is worried about this:


If you follow the basic tutorial linked on the start page of the Construct 2 program highlighted below..




Once you get to the conclusion, you'll see a link to a page describing how to share your project on Dropbox..




Follow this link and the very simple instructions that are listed on the page. Dropbox is free storage for anyone, and the public folder it provides for sharing files works excellently with exported Construct 2 projects. All you need to do in order to share your game is upload your project files and copy/paste the public link to your index.html file. (This process is even easier if you have the Dropbox desktop application installed.)

Once I finished making the tutorial project, it took me all of 5 seconds to get my project shared through my Dropbox.

Now that you know, please don't let the hosting requirement scare you away from completing a Construct 2 project! If you're a bit overwhelmed by the system (if you're not much of a programmer, you probably should be!) then you should definitely check out the tutorial link I highlighted for you above. It's really not that difficult to get into!

Additionally, if you want some personal support from your pal Tuna, come find me on #hbgames (if you're lucky enough to catch me when I'm not at work) or send me a PM and I will be happy to help with any problems you're having getting started!


Let's see some more Construct 2 project threads, guys! I know you can do it!

You could also use a browser frame, Mozilla has something for that or you could toss together a small webkit frame with webkitgtk

The emphasis here was making it as simple as possible for people who may not be technically inclined.

Unfortunately iFrames are deprecated and not all browsers are webkit :[

Thanks a lot for the quick tutorial, Tuna, hopefully people will find it useful :D

Thanks to Amy Pond for refering this to me. I never even knew there was a construct game program?

A 300 dollar gift card...to where?

Does it work well with Google Chrome?

I am DL the demo now.

---

Yes, HTML5 games work in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer 9-10+, as well as other various WebKit-based browsers.

If I won top 3... can it be put into my Paypal?

Technically, yes, but you will be losing money. PayPal takes out 2.9% of total amount sent plus $0.30. So if we sent you $300, they'd be taking out approx. $9 from that.
I don't like giving companies money just to transfer numbers from one database to the next. Plus, PayPal is kind of an asshole of a company.
{Outside of the U.S., there are additional fees as well!}

However, if PayPal is the most convenient for you, and you don't mind losing some of the money due to transfer costs, we can send you the money via PayPal as well.

It's all about making YOU happy, baby.

I posted the contest in the Scirra.com forum:
http://www.scirra.com/forum/hbgamesorgs ... 49871.html

Just a heads-up! Let's see some ACTIVITY on the game making front up in here!

I am going to start working with it, but the only thing I have used like this is RPG Maker VX or Ace.

with a little effort it's easy enough to understand basics...
Go through the tutorials to get started.
