#clickteam fusion

[tdhcodenamegalaxy]

Yeah hi @bluesharkslime here, i'm trying to fully switch to Linux and one of the things that's holding me back the most is Clickteam Fusion, which does not work at all on there even with all of the existing compatibility layers.

I may switch engine for this and some other reasons, like Clickteam being a very old and limited engine and me wanting to actually learn how to code.

I have two options in mind in the case i'm actually going to switch: either gamemaker or godot. I learned unity for college but i don't feel like using it.

I'm very busy with exams so it's a decision i'm going to have to take when i'm done near the end of the month.

I'm going to delete this post afterwards without saying what my final decision's going to be because i'm very evil and fucked up and i hate you all (i don't) ok goodnight love you.

If i do decide to switch engine, i'm going to anticipate some other small project i wanted to make after Codename Galaxy was done to train myself a bit.

Hey this is a shot in the dark, but do you have a guide or anything for how to make your own screensaver? I like the remake you did but I can't find like any resources to make my own, thank you!

The software I've used to make a handful of screensavers is Clickteam Fusion, which will export a project to an .scr file. You'll have to learn Clickteam Fusion's peculiar visual scripting, on top of buying the software.

Also the fact that, at least for me, Windows is constantly forgetting my screensaver.

Reworking some stuff.

I was initially going to make the game in 1080p. This would be ok...if not for the fact that it's a clickteam game, my first serious one for that matter. Shouldn't have gone that high :P

I'm working on translating the parts meant for 1080p to 900p (not a big difference, but i didn't feel like moving to 720p) and redoing some graphics in the meanwhile.

Here's a windmill for now :)

During Mr. Geeza's adventure, he comes across a literal mountain of dosh. Rumour has it that all of this dosh belongs to a very sketchy bloke....

The Bartender's gone crazy! He's throwing beer bottles everywhere! Why? 'coz Mr. Geeza's best mate, Blarry, keeps wrecking his pub! With nothing better to do, Mr. Geeza decides to turn this into an interesting drinking game...

(1/2) Is it hypocritical of me to want to see fangaming move to using free/open-source game engines when the source franchises are neither of those?

(2/2) I feel as though due to their head-start, engines like Game Maker and Clickteam are the ones you're "expected" to use for X franchise. There are already pixel-perfect Sonic and Mega Man examples for those engines, and I've been directly told by a Mega Man fan game community to not even bother programming my own MM game in Godot because it will just play sloppier, and that they won't forgive its flaws just because it was "programmed from scratch" or "uses a multiplatform engine".

I mean, accessibility is nice. And I think the desire to get off of something like Clickteam Fusion is admirable. I like it, I still use it, I actually want to keep using it even as Clickteam as a company feels like it is burning down around itself. But it is slow and clumsy and bloated.

But I also think people just make stuff for whatever they use. Clickteam Fusion and Game Maker were pretty entrenched in SFGHQ for the longest time because that's what everybody ten years ago was using, twenty years ago even, and that's where all the knowledge, tools, and pipeline is.

Thankfully, now we have Sonic Worlds Next, written in Godot, which means literally anyone can spin up a Sonic fangame with clean, accurate code without needing to own a license for some $150 piece of tech owned by an apathetic or ugly company.
