A few more Construct 3 tricks

Where I left off with the walking simulator:
sans-day-off_almost-finished.c3p

What I'll add:

  1. A text box that appears when we approach an NPC
  2. A short sound effect for picking up a key
  3. A door that is locked, until we get the key (using a Boolean variable)

Game proposal
(If you haven't sent this to me yet)

Game deadline: Friday, July 11

Write a proposal for an independent game you would like to build with Construct. Include a visual aid in your document — this can be a character sketch or a level design sketch.

The visual aid can be drawn on paper and photographed, or you can use digital tools like Piskel or Sketchpad
