It’s probably how demanding the game is, usually needing more RAM and CPU.
I have some performance improvements in mind that should help it run, but it will be a while before I get those in…
As long as I can use it before I’m an adult I think it should be fine.
I can’t wait that long.
I haven’t posted any opinions on the FlowFx yet as I haven’t tried them yet. They look amazing, I just need to find the right kind of project to start testing them out on.
Well,
I started making my own “FlowFX” in secrecy a little over a year ago, called “Cri-Particle Engine”. But due to me mostly pulling out of Flowlab in favor of greener pastures (And still doing so), I never finished it. And now, I suddenly found out that 2 giants of the community beat me to it, and that we apparently used roughly the same techniques as one another but in complete isolation, lol
It kinda stung, not gonna lie, but I hope PixelPizza and JR_01’s engine sees wide-spread adoption regardless. Good job beating me to it!
I’m not really sure why you feel that it was a race or something. We didn’t even know you were doing it.
But oh well, I think you can look at this on the bright side:
-
There is now a particle system, which means you can freely use it and now focus on something else (And you didn’t even had to waste an entire year doing it ahah)
-
If you still want to do your particle system, you are obviously free to do so, and you can even improve or add stuff that our system doesn’t have.
It’s all about perspective. We are all here to just make games, help other people and have fun. So, no need to feel bummed about it.
i dont think i will ever stop using this
Ahahah thanks, that’s nice to hear
Woah this is legitness*10000000!
Good results as always
Why did nobody tell me about this earlier?
(Sorry for Reviving this topic) I just found this (PixelPizza’s Bio mentioned a tool). It’s a fabulous tool. The effects are even copyable (The ID). I never thought something like this was possible. I could experiment with this for the rest of my life.
Omggg thank you so much!
This is an Open discussion so feel free to comment any time.
I’m glad you liked it. I want to update it so bad but theres so many things with Higher priority, that being Said, cant wait to bring new stuff and improve this.
agreed
@Samuel_PixelPizza, how do I put the FX I make into a game?
Hi! Thanks for commenting
You can watch the Tutorial that goes over the entire process (making → importing) here:
The Tutorial link is also inside the example, as well as step by step text instructions
Thanks! I’ll follow the tutorial!
I love this tool.
It’s just incredibly useful and easy to use.
Thank you @JUSTPLAINOP ! So happy to hear you liked it!
I have released my Portoflio website and it features the behind the scenes for various projects I did, and my games! Here’s a highlight from the projects section…
Making of FlowFX: a tool to create vivid effects!

Did you know you can read about my and @JR01 process in creating a versatile & helpful tool made using Flowlab, for Flowlab Developers?
It even shows exclusive screenshots and animated GIFs of our early prototypes and experimenting, as well as our thought process for how this App should work.
And the future of FlowFX
Check it out and let me know your thoughts!
Thank you for checking out my stuff & supporting my work!
