Announcements / Platform Builder now has an official server on discord!

« on: October 29, 2022, 12:53:32 AM »

Hey everyone! I am happy to announce that we have launched an official server on Discord for Platform Builder! My hope is that this will be a friendly and warm environment for you guys to connect, build community, share your content, and help each other out. This is your opportunity to be one of the first ones on this channel.

Here is the invite link: Platform Builder on Discord

This may also be your opportunity to get Platform Builder or Platform Builder Pro! If you boost our server, DM me on Discord and I'll hook you up as a free thank-you gift!

Discord is relatively new to me, (I know, I'm way behind!) so I'm happy to receive any feedback via DM.

The server on Discord includes forum channels, which may leave you wondering about the future of these forums. As of now, these forums will remain open for people to join and post, just as usual. But these forums have become less active in recent times and will likely be phased out by the end of this year.


I believe that this soft and slow transition onto Discord will ultimately be helpful for the community for several reasons.

• Discord is a very popular way for people, especially gamers, to connect and build community online.
• Anyone with a Discord account can easily be a part of the community. That removes the barrier of setting up another account.
• Discord's forum channels offer much of the same experience here, but it has the added advantage of voice and text channels for more live conversation.
• This forum is a bit buggy and difficult for me to manage.

Although I will focus mostly on building this official PB channel on Discord, I would be remiss if I didn't mention a different PB server already active from several of our forum members  - Plugger's Zone. So you can check that one out too


If you have any questions or comments about this new adventure to Discord, don't hesitate to let me know.


Thanks everyone, and I'll see you over there!

Announcements / Platform Builder's New Pricing Model

« on: September 16, 2022, 02:40:05 PM »

Hi everyone,


About a week ago, I posted an important announcement about Platform Builder on Steam, but forgot to post it here as well. You can view it here. If you haven't read it, please read it first before continuing with this post.


The announcement mentioned that the new pricing model will take on the 16th, which is today. So we're all set there, and Platform Builder has been updated to reflect the changes on Steam.


With the new pricing model with Steam, anyone who already had Platform Builder Standard in their steam library will still have the program. BUT what about those who have used Platform Builder Standard through GameJolt, itch.io or some other source? If this is the case, please send me a message here before the end of this month and I can get you squared away.


Best,
TingThing

Thanks! Yes, I hope more people will join. I also feel that Platform Builder is at a good place in terms of features. My efforts will likely shift more toward polishing, addressing bugs, and also marketing. I have another partner who is helping with the marketing side of things too, and he is just getting started

congratulations to the PB team! it took a while, but I'm happy to finally make it out of the Beta phase

I'm repeating myself, but it has to be said again; new graphics make a BIG difference. along with some nice new features (my favourites as of now are vibrate, FPS target commands, command search, definitely foreground sprites for HUDs).

at this point I'm pretty content with Platform Builder. most of the often requested features (custom HUDs, stand-alones, good controller support, plenty of conditionals, many more) have been added. it feels good. I've been here through most of it, sadly the community is not as robust and active as it was few years ago. CGM and Alley seemingly lost interest, and most of the other guys have moved on to other things. right now I see a good opportunity to inject some much-needed life into this community again. I know, that was the plan all along. spelling it out is kind of redundant. well, the foundation has never been as solid.

sorry, I went for a bit of a tangent. bottom line, I'm very excited for what the future holds for PB

Announcements / Platform Builder 10 is Out!

« on: June 02, 2022, 02:55:18 AM »

Hi everyone,

The day has finally arrived. Platform Builder 10 is OUT!

And, with PB's big new release including revised graphics from Casey Sharpe, we also have new screenshots featured on publisher websites like Steam, and a new video trailer. Check it out here!

A lot of new features are included which you may have already been enjoying if you were part of the Beta. But now we are public and all of the features like publishing and exporting are back online. We are also ready to press into some more digital marketing efforts to help drive more momentum and build a richer, livelier Platform Builder community.

Also, the Command Prompt Page has been updated. The page as a whole has been revamped with better categorization so that it will be (hopefully) easier to find the commands you are looking for. A lot on that page was moved around, but it's all still there plus a whole lot more now that PB 10 is released.

With the release of PB 10, I am also going to phase out bug reports on the forums as we switch to a dedicated bug-report form that can be filled out on our website. PB 10 will direct people there, and this will allow more people to contribute without needing to create an account here on the forums. Although I love to see more people join, it is even more important that bug reporting is as easy as possible so that no one is discouraged to help me make PB as stable as possible. On that note, please use the form and report any bugs that you find. By helping me, you help everyone.

Well, that's it for now. Hope you enjoy Platform Builder 10!

Yours,
TingThing

Although the new default sprite will be displayed, Platform Builder will save the old sprite sheet back to your hard drive.

Funny how you test things and then suddenly they don't work anymore :/


I reverted to the older version. I'll be able to take a closer look at the issue later today and get a proper update ASAP.

Hi everyone,


In anticipation for PB 10's release, I have updated the command prompt page with all of the new commands. I also re-organized and re-categorized a lot of commands on that page to make it more intuitive.

@TingThing did the pb10 betas altered downloading game listings for explore updates? I have got into the situation of having to update explore listings several times on the new version, everytime it worked differently from before (prior to pb10, downloading game listings would regularly open 7zip terminal windows, which would prevent from doing something else while downloading game listings in the background). If thats true and intended then its an amazing change for the aforementioned reasons

No, I didn't change the way PB downloads game listings. But the 7zip terminal window would open if the standard unzipping function in Game Maker failed. I noticed this was happening and so I created a failsafe with 7zip. However, it's possible that Game Maker updated and fixed the issue or it resolved after a Windows update, which would mean that the failsafe is no longer needed. Hopefully that is the case. I'll still keep it there just in case.

Announcements / Spam Bots Update

« on: March 02, 2022, 12:05:04 AM »

Hi everyone,


As many have noticed, Spam bots have found their way to our forums. I went through the forums deleted spam posts that I could find while bannind the users. I also removed many others that were pending for email activation just so we have a clean start. I also noticed that many of the spam-prevention measures on these forums were deactivated, probably from recent maintenance work. So I turned them back on. This should really help deal with future fake registrations.


For now, there are probably spam bots that have registered but haven't posted yet. If you see them, make sure to report the posts so that I can keep these forums clean of unwanted messaging.


Best,
TingThing

After consideration, I determined that Platform Builder Standard will continue to allow publishing to the explore section. Thanks for your input on that. The other changes for standard (more characters, NPCs, enemies, etc.) will stay.


Beta has been updated to 1.1

There are reasons why I am hesitant to keep the publisher part of the free version that I don't want to get into. But, you guys also make a good point that this makes it very difficult for players to share their games in any way. I will think through this some more before publishing a stable version of PB 10.
