🎨 GameBoy-like Color Transition Template for Construct 3

Changelogs

v0.0.7 – March 15, 2023

• Initial version

What is this?

This is a  Construct 3 sample project with 3 native functions that can be used to mimic the GameBoy color transition animation you can see in GB games.

This C3 project is very tiny so that you can easily add it to existing projects or new ones.  

It uses C3 native plugins AJAX, and JSON to make things work. Color palettes and their respective RGB values are stored in a simple .json file that we can load into our C3 project using one simple AJAX call.

Ok, but why?

Well, I initially built this for my own purposes in my GameBoy-like games. I made a simple template that I can reuse easily for any other projects so I thought I could share it with other fellow devs and help them save some precious time.. 😄

So, what's included?

Downloadable zip file contains:

• a .c3p file which you can use with Construct 3 to try the demo, and copy/paste code/assets into a new/existing C3 project;
• some example GameBoy sprites I created myself - which you can do whatever you want with;
• 7 different color palettes included as examples;

And, what's next?

I will provide updates, bug fixes or new features if needed/requested.

GameBoy-like games are my kind of thing right now, so I plan to create more templates like this in the future while I work on my own gamejam games. You may also expect a bundle with such similar projects and some sales.

Final words

I hope this template will help you.

I really wanted to keep it as simple as possible so that you can use it straightforward into your Construct 3 projects effortlessly.
