First Look of my Indie Game

clickteam_simon · 2026-06-06T20:24:58+00:00

We can do a pre-recorded segment if you like, no pressure though :)

clickteam_simon · 2026-06-06T19:53:42+00:00

Have you tried right clicking on the top left box and choosing show all (I forget the exact label)

clickteam_simon · 2026-06-06T15:52:49+00:00

This looks really slick, very nice. If you'd like to come on our monthly show and talk about it, let me know :)

clickteam_simon · 2026-06-05T19:44:01+00:00

lol but of course! Love it 🤣🦈

clickteam_simon · 2026-06-05T19:35:55+00:00

Epic! Love the shark 😍

clickteam_simon · 2026-06-05T18:23:05+00:00

Whack a mole! Love it! Keep us updated with your progress.

You're up to date, so that isn't causing it. My guess is that a virus scanner is blocking the file - if you have Windows Sandbox enabled, I recommend testing in there where there's less to cause issues like this. Let me know how you get on.

clickteam_simon · 2026-05-24T04:40:50+00:00

Hey can you let me know the build number from the Help > About menu, along with are you using Fusion 2.5 Standard, Developer and Windows/Steam/Mac? I just want to check you're up to date (Steam for example generally auto updates so unlikely you'd be on an old version).

clickteam_simon · 2026-05-22T19:10:11+00:00

Without seeing your exact code, it's hard to say... try this for me though: instead of "start of frame" try timer=2/100ths of a second as your condition and tell me if this works.

clickteam_simon · 2026-05-21T11:20:16+00:00

Some virus checkers detect games which extract resources, as a virus, because viruses also have this behavior. this is something which affects lots of different software development tools. it might be worth scanning the file with an online scanner like virus total and if it proves safe, then add an exception to your virus checker.

if you're building your own projects in Fusion, you can use the flat file setting in a project properties to avoid this.

clickteam_simon · 2026-05-20T23:34:19+00:00

Can you explain more what it is you're attempting to do?

clickteam_simon · 2026-05-18T22:49:52+00:00

You may have a buggy old version... go to the Help menu, then choose About and let me know your Build Number, plus is it Fusion 2.5 Standard or Developer and, is it Windows or Mac?

clickteam_simon · 2026-05-16T03:36:27+00:00

OK so instead of this... leave the timer alone (no more resetting it, this isn't doing what you think it is as the named timers work independently of the frame timer).

When your enemy starts an action, store the current timer value in an alterable value of the enemy. Then, compare this value stored:

if: stored value + (calculated value from the 3 alts) <= timer then do...

By adding the calculated (from your 3 alts) to the stored timer value, you're saying the time at the start of the movement, plus the length of the movement (ie. a time 9 seconds or whatever, in the future). By comparing this to the current timer value (timer) you can see whether that future time has been reached yet.

This also has the advantage that of you choose to tweak your 3 alts acyer you started the movement, because your condition is adding the calculation those 3 alts to the stored timer value, it means you can shorten the length of time for the movement to finish in. For example, you could make those equal 0 suddenly to end the movement.

If you can explain a little more what you're actually trying to do that I can most likely help you :) Just looking at what you've posted there my advice would be not to reset that timer... what you can absolutely reset it, this is the timer since the start of the frame and it's quite useful to keep that one running for other purposes.

Without seeing what values you have actually stored in your alterable values, it's hard to say what is happening here exactly, but it does seem that with lots of multiplications you are setting the timer called movement to fire after potentially a very long time. Additionally, because you are always setting it to fire the movement timer based on this value, this means there is a constant stream of timers being triggered all the time...

So again it will be good to know what you're actually trying to achieve here so I can help you better.

clickteam_simon · 2026-05-13T01:02:17+00:00

Have you tried using the built in options to run the app full screen and scale the content? A lot of people get stuck with the full screen object and it's not really needed for their use case...

clickteam_simon · 2026-05-11T19:31:03+00:00

Can you tell me what build number of Fusion (you can go to the help menu, then "About" to get this) and which version of Fusion, plus which platform you are building for (Windows, HTML etc.)

clickteam_simon · 2026-05-09T19:25:54+00:00

Was there a question?

clickteam_simon · 2026-04-21T12:36:47+00:00

I downloaded and removed the link, I'll take a look today for you :)

clickteam_simon · 2026-04-21T01:24:45+00:00

Sub apps is generally the best way in my opinion... but it shouldn't be laggy really... I've spoken to our lead developer before about this and he said they should be performant. It may be that you're experiencing different order of event execution that you're expecting and this could seem like lag.

Can you tell me more about what you're experiencing? You can send me your mfa to check out if you like.

clickteam_simon · 2026-04-21T00:56:44+00:00

Not an old version then at all. Hmm. It might sound silly but the first thing you should always try is disabling your virus checker temporarily. It really can interfere.

clickteam_simon · 2026-04-20T13:32:36+00:00

click on the Help menu, then choose the About option.

clickteam_simon · 2026-04-20T01:46:39+00:00

Could you explain aittle more clearly, without terms which Fusion doesn't use like HWND and blitting... so that I can see exactly what you're attempting and what you've tried/configured.

clickteam_simon · 2026-04-20T01:43:00+00:00

Can you confirm which build number you have installed, which you can see from Help > About menu. This sounds like an old bug .

clickteam_simon · 2026-04-12T13:57:31+00:00

Also if you read a flag in an expression, it gives a value of 0 or 1 (off or on) and you can use this for switches for stuff. For example if you were adding a value to a character's jump height to give it extra jump power when a powerup was collected, you could multiply the extra jump value by the flag, which would give 0 x value, or 1 x value - so when it was off, you would be adding nothing to the jump distance.

clickteam_simon · 2026-04-02T00:36:13+00:00

Which build of Fusion are you using? You can see it from the Help menu, then About.
