Congratulations on the release, it looks great! Nice twist on twinstick having it in a scrolling world :thumbsup:

Hopefully some of your desktop upgrades can be merged into the Cocos master branchā€¦

#25

Many congratulations to you on this achievement. Iā€™ll buy your game and try it on my Steam Machine this weekend.

Please let us know if you want to merge your changes into Cocos2d-x and I can set you up with our engineering team to discuss via GitHub. We welcome pull requests!

Thanks @nivrig & @slackmoehrle!!!

As for merging the latest, I see that some of the changes have already been added to the latest cocos2d-x. As for the rest, I was told by a cocos2d-x dev that desktop features were not a high priority. Either way, all the changes are here.

#27

Great job, thanks for the contribution.

#28

Thank you @nite!

#29

Congrats on the release @Shaedo! I remember you showing me this game a year ago at IndieCade. Well done!

UPDATE:

I have a question about your cocos branch. I see you made a change to CCApplication-32.cpp. In the function Application::run() you added a ā€œ>=ā€ on line 88:

if (nNow.QuadPart - nLast.QuadPart >= _animationInterval.QuadPart)

Pervious it was just an ā€œ=ā€. Why was this changed? It seems like a subtle change. Does it make the win32 loop more closely resemble the mac loop?

#30

Woow! Great job guys. Gameplay video is so promising!
Hope you will get the ticket to Steam :slight_smile:

#31

Thanks Rusty!
I remember chatting with you at IndieCade.

The change from > to >= was something I did during an optimization pass I was doing. I figured I was losing up to 1ms in cases the exact amount of time passed. So I changed it to >=. It probably is very minor, but I figured it might help on the video cards I was having performance issues with.

Thanks @faseral!

Just dropping the link to the Gamasutra article about this game http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/ChadAta/20160922/281854/Developing_a_2D_Game_for_Windows_Mac__Linux_with_Cocos2dx.php

Are there news on the mentioned issues:

  • Toggling fullscreen and resizing
  • Not supressing screen saver
  • Controller support on desktop

Iā€™d be glad if someone has an update on those.

#34

the first 2 are fixed

and for the controller support watch this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx0IUbxAQ34

#35

Those are great news! Do you know if these changes are included in Cocos Creator? I couldnā€™t find information on which cocos2d-x version it depends.
The makers of the tutorial you linked said that cocos2d-x has joystick support in the comments?

#36

Iā€™m sorry i donā€™t know anything about creator

#37

Do you know someone to ask, maybe link him to this conversation? Itā€™s a bit hard finding such information :smile:

#38

@zhangxm might know

#39

I am not sure if they are included in Creator. @jare do you know it.

#40

Not included in Creatorā€¦
