First of all I must say that I am impressed with this product. I was wondering if anyone could answer the following questions.
1. Is the product being developed or has development slowed.
2. Have any commercial games been released using this product.
3. It it possible to have cut scenes in games and level switching using this product.
4. Can you allow your users of your game to save their progress to continue later.

1. gameEditor has been around, and is now converting to opensource. When all of the bugs are fixed, it should be fully functioning, if that is what you meant.
2. I believe so, but I can't think of them right now. There have not been many, though it is fully possible.
3. What do you mean by cutscenes? It is possible to make scenes within your game with gifs and other.
4. Saving is possible with gameEditor. To do this you need to save variables, such as how many levels you have completed, stats, and other. There are many topics on this if you need more detail.
I hope this helped.

Game Editor IS fully functioning, and has been for some time, though development seems to have slowed.

Oops, I meant that the opensource version... At least I think it is not fully working, I can't seem to get it work. Yes it IS fully functioning.

You can do it several ways, one is just to create a collision event, than when you confirm it, select way for a certain frame, then set that to the 6th frame. If that does not work, you can use variables. You will need to set up some variable system anyways, so you set the attack to punch. If there is a collision, and the animation is punch, and it is the 6th frame, then you can deal damage.
Enemy->Collision->Script Editor
- Code: Select all
if (attack==1 && collide.animpos==6)
{
// Hit
}
Attack is a variable that changes for each attack. ie. no_attack=0, punch=1, kick=2...
