one of the best games i ever played, good job vp
Thank you for your kind words Mohamad! Hopefully should be quite enjoyable when it's fully finished.
You need to fix the color on this page, I can't read the text.
Sprites look nice, but some textures are missing (I think it's a fault of my laptop).
Hi SamGrady! Thanks for the valuable feedback - I changed the colours - can you read the text now or have I made it worse? Which textures are missing for you - can you post a screenshot please? I'll see if I can fix it or fiigure out why it's not working properly.
There is a problem with my laptop, many CopperCube games I've tried have this issue. When I write a shader in HLSL, it can't compile, so I think it's a problem with my GPU.
The colors need to have a little more contrast with each other. Either use a light background with dark font or a dark background with light font. If you use blue for the background and yellow for the text, choose a darker shade of blue and avoid bright yellow. Similarly, if you use blue for both the background and text, make the background darker and the text closer to white or light blue.
For the current background color you are using, the link color looks good. So, use the same color for the text and make the link a bit darker.
Ah, yeah, it's probably because I use a blue-light filter on my screen, so the colours I see will be a lot different to what you're seeing. When I get time, I'll turn the filter off, then set the colours, then turn the filter back on. Thanks again Sam.
Please is it ccb or .exe file
The old (abandoned) saboteur game is just the exe - my computer harddisk died and I lost the ccb file - it was made using "just-in-case's" paid 2D controller, which has been updated a lot since I used it. If you ask him nicely, he may be willing to decompile my old saboteur game exe for you because it has an out-dated version of his controller.
The new saboteur game (the one without just in case's controller) does have the ccb file available - near the bottom of my assets/prefabs/ccb downloads page called "vp_platformer_template.ccb" here...https://veganpete.itch.io/free-coppercube-prefabs.
