Product Description:

Construct is powerful and easy to use development software for both DirectX 9-based games and applications. It includes an event based system for defining how the game or application will behave, in a visual, human-readable way.

Features:

Super fast hardware-accelerated DirectX 9 graphics engine.
Add multiple pixel shaders for advanced special effects, including lighting, HDR, distortion, lenses and more
Physics engine for realistic object behaviour.
Place object on different layers for organising display, parallaxing, or whole-layer effects.
Debugger giving you complete control over all aspects of your game for testing purposes.
Smaller, faster specialised runtime for applications.
50+ plugins ranging from Tiled Background to database access.

What's new in this version:

Behaviors:

[FIX] Platform movement: 'Set gravity direction' action displayed wrong text.

Event wizard dialog:

[FIX] Crash selecting tabs for behaviors and effects.

General:

[FIX] Included events did not always work the same as their equivalent in the same event sheet
[FIX] Crash after clicking 'Edit families' in the 'Add family' dialog
[FIX] Ribbon left blank after a 'Save your changes?' messagebox in the 2007 themes
[FIX] Deleting a layout ensures nonexistent object type names become available again
[CHANGE] You are prompted if you import a .cap from an old version of Construct and hit save. This will prevent you from opening the file in the older version, so it gives you the option to save-as instead.
[CHANGE] A more polite error message if you try to open a .cap file from a newer version of Construct (this will only be useful in future since old builds won't do this)

Included hotfixes:

[FIX] Particles object: crashing applications.

Picture editor:

[FIX] Crash undoing a moved selection.

Plugins:

[ADD] Plasma object: new colour controls which allow for better flame-like effects.
[FIX] Particles object: one-shot was not working.
[FIX] Crash in Plasma object.

Runtime:

[FIX] Crash calling a function from any looping condition.
[FIX] System object: 'On advanced collision' / 'On advanced overlap' did not have intended effect.
[FIX] System object: 'timer' expression now starts from zero (previously started off with the time it took to load)
[FIX] Crash changing layouts with global objects.
[CHANGE] System object: 'timer' expression now returns a float. This allows for timer-based code to still act smoothly at very low timescales.
