Pre-render effects

Yes, that would work for some effects but if people want things like feathered edge effects that can not be printscreened, then they should use a program like Photoshop or its free clone Paint Dot Net ([url:1tc1ba0q]http://www.getpaint.net[/url:1tc1ba0q]). I'm really only asking because I thought it would be nice if Construct could have a few simple effects for people who don't want to use m/any different programs to make their simple games or prototypes.

One way to look at this is from the resources point of view.
Adding effects like this would save some storage, but would also take up some ram.. possibly a lot of ram, processing power as well.

Hello everyone!

I'm new working with Construct and English is my 2nd language. I'm in a team and we're making a small game for a school project. Basically, the game consists in catching milk drops from a flying cow, just 2 levels. It is a platform game. My classmate wants that in some point of the 2nd level, everything goes to dark and we can see the player and glowing drops falling. So the gamer cannot see where is s/he running or jumping, neither the bricks nor background.

I was thinking on a mask effect, but this is my first time in construct 2 and I am not a programmer, I'm in the game design program.

I do not know how to apply effects in construct 2 yet.

Please, let me know of any idea.

@gndwestwd, take a look at the example file "Lighting.capx" that comes with Construct 2. You can use that effect to get the result you want.
