Is not a bad list, seems that you know what you are talking about

The choice to set the animation speed of a multi-frame sprite to 0 (thus freezing it). This is useful for things like slideshows where pressing a button will change the sprite’s frame to the next.

There is an action to pause the animation, also you can change the frames while the animation is paused

For text objects, I’d like text alignment options, such as Align Left/Right/Center/Top/Bottom/etc. I had to give up trying to center the text object that showed the player’s final score in an end Scene, because the text just wouldn’t align itself to the center (it’s always aligned left), and the misalignment is especially visible when the score is several digits long.

There will be an alignment (anchor) behavior for the next release, it will work for any kind of object, I think. You can read more about it here: [url]GDevelop's monthly recap − August 2016]

I saw a couple of people post about it already, but some sort of ‘Else’ function/condition will help me a bit. It’s actually not necessary, but it’s one of those ‘really nice to have’ things in many situations.

Yeah, there was an entire topic about it, specifically how to implement it over object lists (as you know, every condition removes objects from the list of objects taken into account for the actions listed in the event), the result was “undefined”…

Some sort of ‘if something is between value #1 and value #2’ function wound be AWESOME!

Maybe, of course you just need two conditions instead this one, and even high level programming languages doesn’t offer this option, for example in Python you can chain the conditions as you want:

if LowerLimit <= YourValue <= HigherLimit: Do something

While in C++ you have to do what everybody does in GD:

if LowerLimit <= YourValue AND YourValue <= HigherLimit: Do something

So it could be added, but not sure if it would be awesome

I’m not exactly sure how to describe it, but I’d like a more ‘streamlined’ Save function. One of the reasons why I had to remove the high score feature in my game is because I couldn’t figure out how to save the high score data locally into the person’s device.

Another user was having problem with storage actions, is it an Android device?

Finally, I’d like to have a feature where I can choose between linear and point sampling for graphics. This comes from my experience with Construct. Whenever I used pixel art in a game, linear sampling would mess up the art (draws lines around the edges of the sprites and stuff), but when I switched to point sampling, it fixes everything. This is especially noticeable when you used tiled sprites. I noticed that GDevelop also suffers from this problem with pixel art, so I’m hoping that introducing a feature like this into the engine could fix the problem.

Do you have such problems even with the smooth image option disabled?
