Particle Designer Support

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I’m thinking of returning to Corona for my next project. It will be a particle heavy game.

Does anyone know if there’s any support for Particle Designer (http://www.71squared.com/en/particledesigner)?

It’s not listed on the Particle Designer page, so I’m guessing not, but I thought I’d double check before ruling out Corona. Particle support was a little weak (underpowered graphical ability?) last time I was around, iirc.

Thanks

Hi @lbowers,

We’re currently in talks with 71Squared about supporting Particle Designer and we’re working with them steadily to provide support for it in Corona (via plugin, most likely).

Best regards,

Brent

@Brent: When will it be released?

#5

There’s always Particle Candy

Excellent news - how about support for their bitmap font tool - I believe it’s called Glyph Designer.

@segaboy TextCandy supports Glyph Designer fonts

Dear Corona-Team,

is there any news on this? In the meantime the guys from 71squared released Particle Designer 2 and seemed to have teamed up with Lanica to provide them “Animo Particles” in some sort of OEM.

Particle candy is nice and all, but lacks visual tools.

Directly supporting the Particle Designer (or Animo Particles) in Corona would close one of the most important gaps in Corona SDK.

All the best

Martin

Yes please. Hope Particle Designer support comes with the new graphics engine.

I would like to add my voice to the list here. I have used Particle Candy in the past and really enjoy it, but it would be great to have a visual editor I can use to create my effects. The Particle Designer team has said that they were working with you all ,but it kind of faded away, so it would be great to see the plan come about again.

Thanks!

Hi all,

We’re planning to renew energy toward this end when Graphics 2.0 is shipped… that is our highest priority, so it takes precedence of Particle Designer support. However, we’re definitely aware of the need for this, so when we can devote the necessary engineering resources to it, we will. Your patience is definitely appreciated. :slight_smile:

Sincerely,

Brent Sorrentino
