wanted to reply here on your rather harsh review

I do my best to show the assets as close to what you get, I show images of different looks, i show a lengthy video or demo, so you see how the animation looks (using the exact same images included in the pack) and additionally you can check exactly what images you get in the product filebrowser. I cannot make what you think it will look like..

so i just find it strange you call it ugly and jumpy, as everything is clearly shown, i cant help thinking you are using it wrong, you can get the exact same look in construct2 as shown in the demo.

The double exhaust was the initial & only look, I added the other one on request, and added an example of it, (yes by modifying the original) if that strikes you as lazy, then so be it

anyway, for anyone having trouble getting the same look as in the demo, im always happy to help

furthermore one of the reasons I made these, is the ability to produce the exact look as in my ship presentations but within construct2, with particles system this is hard to do, I already used the same animation in my launchplatform recently and i quite liked the result.

vtrix My apologies for coming across as harsh, but I guess I was thrown by "will practically fit any shipdesign". This statement is seemingly true, so long as it's a single engine, or the engines are very close together. My ship has engines quite far apart, so seeing the left and right engines was just disappointing. That, and only 6 frames of animation, running at a smooth 60 frames a second meant that the engines were looping 10 times a second. I had to lower it to 30 frames per second to make it look better, played around with some effects, edited the animation, and included some particles to make it look better.

It's alright now, but I guess I was expecting something similar to:

'm curious...

Couldn't you just change the speed in the animation properties to compensate? Or am I missing something?

Lancifer Sure, that's what I did. 60 down to 30. I could have lowered it some more, but that made the jerky animation even more noticeable.

Ahh, nevermind. I mistakenly thought you lowered your game's FPS to 30 to get the animation to look right.

I'm coming from Clickteam Fusion, where we can change the game's frame rate with a simple click in the panel.

Don't mind me. I'm still learning. Thanks.
