Title: [WIP, concept] Physics Factory
Post by: Shawnachu on April 20, 2009, 00:53:17
The result of a couple week's worth of messing around in Construct. I thought of a concept, made sprites, blah blah blah...
This is actually the second version of the sprites. The original set looked like crap.

Only 4 levels are inside right now, but I want to see what you guys think before I make any more.

Download (http://g.imagehost.org/download/0121/Physics_Factory)

All graphics are made by me, except for the background, which was ripped taken from the KS background and edited to loop.
Music is by Bob-Music on Newgrounds.
All sound effects were taken from freesound.org.

You might not have DirectX 9, since construct uses it.

Yeah, it still says you need DirectX even after you update.

I'm completely stumped, since it works fine on my computer.  :/

EDIT: What is the message that pops up?

...it shouldn't really say "August 2008". There are newer DirectX updates.

The game is outdated.

This game is made in Scirra Construct. Construct's XAudio2 plugin, and a few others, REQUIRE the August 2008 update (which is newer than 9.0c, but still has that version number); the update contains new API features required by XAudio2. It's not outdated, it's just using the oldest version of DirectX which has the features it needs. Just press OK and download the DirectX update. It should work fine.

Very... interesting concept

S'cuse reviving this thread... This is a very nice idea. It works well (though at the moment the graphics could do with some prettifying) and could have some really interesting puzzle-levels.

Any progress so far?

I haven't had much luck with physics-based objects in Construct yet. Practice makes perfect, I s'pose!

It still doesn't work! It says I need DirectX8 and I have 9....

You don't need DirectX 8, you just need to download the August 2008 DirectX pack - click on ok to download it even if you've got a more recent version. Construct is still in beta...

Seems like alot of people have problems with the DirectX thingy, so I'll go over to the Scirra forums and post that...

Anyway, thanks! I do have 9 levels finished and a working level select (yay!) I also might try to implement a way to make levels, but that won't be for a while.

...Okay. Here's the link to the scirra forums topic: http://www.scirra.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3968

Apparently the text in the box is screwed up and has nothing to do with DirectX8. O_o So go ahead and download the update.
