Update Corgio Tutorial & Extension

Apr 25, 2025 by ADMIN 35 views

Introduction

Corgio is a popular extension for creating 2D games using Construct 3. It provides a range of features and tools to help developers create engaging and interactive games. However, during our recent "Bring Your Family to Work Day", we noticed that the Corgio extension was showing its age. In this article, we will discuss the issues we encountered and provide an update on the tutorial and extension to enhance the user experience.

The Issues with Corgio

Custom Camera Follow Block

One of the issues we encountered was with the custom "camera follow" block. By design, it doesn't follow the camera up and down, which can be confusing for developers who create tilemaps with a tall layout. This can lead to a poor user experience, as the camera may not be following the player as expected.

Lack of Explanation on Tilemap Walls

Another issue we encountered was the lack of explanation on tilemap walls. In Construct 3, tilemap walls are an essential feature that can be used to create obstacles and boundaries in a game. However, the Corgio extension doesn't provide enough information on how to use tilemap walls effectively.

Jittery Movement

Finally, we noticed that the movement left and right was jittery at times. This can be frustrating for developers who are trying to create a smooth and responsive game.

Update on the Tutorial

To address these issues, we have updated the Corgio tutorial to provide more information and guidance on how to use the extension effectively. Here are some of the changes we have made:

Custom Camera Follow Block

We have added a new section to the tutorial that explains how to use the custom camera follow block. This section includes a step-by-step guide on how to set up the camera follow block and how to adjust the settings to get the desired effect.

Tilemap Walls

We have also added a new section to the tutorial that explains how to use tilemap walls. This section includes a detailed explanation of how to create and use tilemap walls, as well as some tips and tricks for getting the most out of this feature.

Jittery Movement

To address the issue of jittery movement, we have updated the tutorial to include some tips and tricks for optimizing the movement of the player. This includes some advice on how to adjust the movement settings and how to use the extension's built-in features to create a smooth and responsive game.

Update on the Extension

In addition to updating the tutorial, we have also made some changes to the Corgio extension itself. Here are some of the changes we have made:

Improved Camera Follow Block

We have improved the custom camera follow block to make it more intuitive and easier to use. This includes some new settings and options that allow developers to customize the camera follow block to their needs.
