Hi everyone!

I thought this day would never come but, after so much work, I’m happy to share with you my Android game: Minos Touch!
If you want to give it a try, you can find it here:...

ok thanks. I'll use apks as long as allowed, than I'll switch to app bundle.

Ok, I'll go with apk as usual, thanks!

Hi,
in Properties > Settings, I've noticed that there is a new Build Type: 'Android app bundle'.

What are the differences with the standard Build Type 'Android / OUYA application'? Does it offer...

sure, send it to me

NikiN by the way, I downloaded your files (apk + mfa).
When I install your apk (exported with 292.7) on my samsung s8, I get the ghosting issue. If I open your mfa and export the apk with 292.8, I...

As regards me: by changing from Display Mode OpenGL ES2.0 to OpenGL ES3.0, the ghosting problem on my Samsung Galaxy S8 seems to be fixed (Fusion Version 292.8 in both case).

Fernando I've updated to 292.8, the ghosting problem is still there.
I remember it was fixed before (probably in Build 292.0 - Change log: "Fixed the appearance of some ghost image on screen in...

Same for me, the problem is back... Fernando Can we hope for a quick update? It's quite a big issue.

Just bought, can't wait to test it!

I've just read the features of Fusion 2.5+ DLC and they're great!

I would like to make a suggestion for this one:

I agree with Volnaiskra, I had the same impression while reading the blog.
I suggest you make child events at least skinnable, so that a user can customize their look if he wants.

As Julian said, those ghost objects generally do no harm, so you can leave them where they are.

Maybe make sure that in their 'object properties > runtime options' the 'create at...

Ok Fernando, no problem for Proguard.
Shaku88, thanks for sharing your experience, looks like you're not having problems with your testers.
But what I want to know is if, potentially, a tester...

Hello everyone,

I've developed a game for android and uploaded the signed APK to Google Play console.
Before publishing it officially on Google Play Store, I would like to setup an internal test...

Cool! thank you for the tutorial

Congrats, the art is awesome and the game looks very fun to play!

Ok thanks, let's wait for the final test.

I hope it can be solved (and that the problem won't affect other Samsung devices), because it really messes with graphics and game performance.

At the...

Unfortunately, changing to OpenGL ES 3.0 doesn't fix the issue in my case.
Even with the events 'Restart the current frame'/'Restart the application', I can't get rid of the graphics issues.

Fernando, I've just sent you a PM with the APK, with all the info to reproduce both errors (ghosting, smudged borders)

Fernando: thanks, I'm going to prepare the apk and send it to you asap
tk22, exactly, this 'ghosting' effect is one of the two issues I've come across. It looks like you too are testing with...

Corborus Ah ok, I didn't try to use rewarded videos yet, so honestly I'm not sure what could trigger the issue and if I could make them work.

Hello,
I noticed just today a serious bug in the android version which is causing me a lot of problems and I cannot fix.
I'm posting here because the issue is quite urgent and the bugbox is still...

Thank you for the explanation. It's strange, because it looks like I'm getting better fps on my device with 1.1, but I will test less recent devices to see if I notice any difference.

Hi!
I'm doing some tests, exporting my android game with different settings in order to see which ones have the best performance in terms of speed.
It seems to me that if I set 'Display Mode' to...

Congratulations on your great accomplishment!

Thank you Julian! I can't exactly quantify the number of hours, since having a full-time job I could only devote time to the game development in my spare time, but I can tell you for sure that I...

Thank you Beejers! :)

Hello everyone,

I should be be ready soon to show a beta version of it in an upcoming video game fair,...

So many performance updates, good job Yves!

Beautiful... the new platforms really makes it a work of art.

While waiting for a Clickteam answer on this, I posted the issue on BugBox here: http://bugbox.clickteam.com/issues/4738

In the current situation, after August 2018 we won't be able to publish new...

Extremely important news, thanks for sharing. clickteam, please can you confirm the issue will be solved before August?

Thank you Mathias, much appreciated!

I've tried the demo, I like it a lot!

What a relief :)

just added my +1 on bugbox (http://bugbox.clickteam.com/issues/4138), quite important issue for me

Ragem, just a quick note to let you know how very pleased I am with your platform engine and the frequent updates. I bought it from itch.io some time ago and I couldn't be happier with it.

I did some testing: the problem was with Tile Map object. I noticed that, when I removed the plugin, the game did not crash.
I re-installed the plugin (by downloading it here:...

just bought, great work Volnaiskra!

Thank you for the update, Yves.
P.S. After installing this version, I got a virus alert from Avast for file FireflySK.mfx. I reported the file as a false positive.

In my opinion the current pricing/licensing model is good, and I think it's convenient for Clickteam too.

Without considering all the Clickstore purchases, along the years I've purchased MMF2...

Good to know, thank you BartekB!

A question: is it possible to run games made with Firefly in fullscreen?
I've tried with no luck.

Just purchased. It's interesting, I hope it will be further developed, as said.
An android/ios version would be appreciated (there are a lot of quality PC games, competition is harsh).

Since this information is not available within the debugger, I think your only option is to create a counter for each group you want to check in realtime.
Within the behaviour of each counter, you...

Wow, I haven't tested it yet, but it looks very useful for debugging purposes!
Thank you for sharing :)

I found this post from stuartspixelgames.com very very useful:

>> Hmm, this object is not installed by Fusion... we might need an external exclusion list for objects that should not be included in "Xcode Project" mode.

I didn't test it directly and I'm not...

Here's a simple solution that should work: three events and it doesn't require loops/foreach loops, etc.
You use a counter to detect which Active Object the cursor is overlapping with (leveraging...

Here's the code:

The Active object is just an Active with 5 frames, no loop/repeat.

It works for me, going to each frame of the Active object when I press spacebar, without...

Are you looking for something like this? (see attachment)
No need to set speed=0, but you must have an event "Always > Stop Animation"

That's a really comprehensive tutorial and example, thank you very much for sharing!

Very interesting update,

> Event editor: the icon of the first object in a folder is now displayed in the icon of the folder.
> Event editor: the object lists displayed in conditions and action...

I also suggest trying PMO (Platform Movement Object). It is customizable, easy to use (there are lot of examples too) and light years ahead of standard platform movement.

Great news!

This should work, give it a look. You use two variables, one to check if player has pressed/is pressing button, the other to detect charging value (and shoot projectile accordingly)

It works, you should add the conditions 'overlapping + pick one' as suggested.

LOL, same for me

You could place the variations of the particle effect inside different directions of the same animation.
You then call the desired variation of particle effect by addressing the direction of...

It seems it works to me, just use overlap instead of collision (to keep scope). Give a look to the example attached.

The easiest way I know to do that is to use the MOD function. Check the example attached.

Nice job SergioAndre , I love your examples!
P.S. That '777' pattern in the event editor is genius :D

wow, happy to see the improved and 'juicy'graphics, the change from the previous version is really impressive! May I ask you if you used some software (i.e. Spine/Spriter) to help you with...

wow schrodinger, thanks a lot!

I'm 100% in, too.
A Schrodinger Udemy course for math/trigonometry would definitely be beneficial to the whole community :)

Congrats Droxon!

I love The BPM Timer Widget! I had a lot of fun with Rhythm Fever on Wii, this is the time I'll seriously consider doing something similar :)

@Emerson3: Test it before and after, you'll be amazed to see the difference. ;)

Absolutely amazing, such a beautiful pixel art! I loved games from Fallen Angels Industries, nice to hear about it again.

I'll surely consider signing before releasing, thanks. It's probably because of Avast heuristics, which in my opinion are way too much aggressive.

To reopen this discussion, because it looks like things are getting worse with Avast. Today I tried to export my game as .exe and I noticed that my Avast was blocking it. The worst thing is that no...

Hi Speed! (no pun intended :D)
In that case, I think this extension could be useful to you: http://clickstore.clickteam.com/shadow-object

Thank you for the answers!

Recently I was wondering if password-protecting groups before releasing EXEs could be a solution to add an extra layer of protection. Is it right?

Bipolar, just to let you know that your engine works very well on my device (android galaxy note II). Hope to see soon the source released on the clickstore! :)

Nice work Bipolar_Games! I need it badly and I'm 100% going to buy it if you put it in the store :)
