Hey,

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

That's what the other testers said about jumping too I've fixed it (didn't upload) now.

Oh, and thanks for suggesting to move this to right forum. I'll probably post something later in Journals. I think I'm gonna go forward with this project.

Have a great new year's eve!

Journals / Feedback request for platformer controls

« on: December 29, 2014, 03:10:42 pm »

Hi,

Sorry if this is not the right forum for this kind of stuff (I'm new to Stencyl) but I've made a platformer demo over the holidays and would love to get some feedback.

The game doesn't have any objectives or challenges yet. It has only one scene to jump and run around. I've been trying to get the controls right and rushed some art in.

Anyway, if you have a minute or two to try it out and maybe comment on:

How does the gameplay (=controlling player) feel (heavy, light, too fast?)? You feel like you're in control? Does he jump when you try to? You fall a lot from ledges (and didn't intend to)? Do the damn slopes cause you problems? When jumping, do you land where you we're aiming to? Bugs, getting stuck or random super jumping?

The reason I'm asking you is that I'm already too blinded and numb to judge. I picked up Stencyl week ago and well.. been at it since then If I'll keep at this project, I really want the core stuff to be tight as possible.

Try it out: http://www.stencyl.com/game/play/29288

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for quick answer!

I managed to copy/paste the block from JumpRun-behavior.

So I didn't paste that monster code If I would, where exactly should I paste it? Under flow/code in my charController behavior?

Resolved Questions / Step Size -block missing [Solved]

Hi,

I've been playing with Stencyl (3.1.0) for a week. For learning and testing purposes I'm trying to make a platformer controller logic.

I'm trying to figure out how use something like delta.time in Stencyl. I found out that there should be a Step Size block, that would do the thing. However, I can't seem to find the block (from the palette). Here's the documentation: http://static.stencyl.com/pedia2/blocks/flow/flow_advanced/Constants.html

Was this block removed / replaced with some other? Maybe I'm just blind?

Thanks.
