I have "enhanced" the pubCenter plugin to show the newly introduced "Banner Interstitial" by Microsoft Ad SDK!!! It works perfectly fine my my test environment. I am publishing an App update today to the store. Will let you know when its up and works fine.

I will write an article and share the new Plugin with whole C2 community soon!

Now wit my enhanced pubCenter plugin, you can show 1. Banner, 2. Rewarded Video Ads and 3. the newly introduced Interstitial Ads (called banner Interstitial by MS)

Ashley , I have thoroughly tested the plugin, if we get a positive feedback from other members, I think you can release my update officially!

Hi! SamRock

This is cool news! I'm waiting impatiently to try it out!

I was able to get an interstitial banner, replacing "video"on "display" when requesting an advertisement.

And you fix the wrong exported sizes of banners? I would like to know more about your work on these plugins

A W E S O M E ! SamRock

Please let me know more details!

Thanks radbrothers and —

My update is online on Windows store

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p ... zdncrfjl0g

Please try it out and let me know if you can access it as well.

Clicking 'FreeCoins', during gameplay clicking Free Ammo and Revive will play a Video ad

After about 60 Seconds of gameplay when you reload level or click main menu icon the fullscreen Interstitial banner shows up.

Don't forget to leave a nice review(really need it) <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

PS:I got rid of banner ads.

Hi SamRock

Unfortunately I can't download your game, because it is written that it is not available. Can you share a modified plug-in with us?

radbrothers

Thats strange! Which OS are you using? Teh update I released was or Windows 10.

If you dont mind can you please post a screenshot here? I will check what the issue.

Will publish the updated Plugin here shortly (probably tomorrow).

Hi SamRock

I'm trying to install on the PC with windows 10. On game page there is no "install" button only it is written that the "game is no longer available". I am in Russia, maybe you not distribute the game to Russia?

Thank you for bringing this to my notice. I used teh defalt setting to publish my game and never knew Russia was excluded. Now I submited again with Russia selected. Could you please check if you able to install it now?

Today I am drafting an article on using the new Plugin I modified. Should be update in few hours.

SamRock

The article is up:

Please note that my inspite of having 1000s of Ad request the fill rate for MS Ads is below 0.5%!!!! Its very bad, I contacted support and they have no clue what to do. They openly admitting that they got no advertisers <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

SamRock

Nice!

SamRock

Thank you for your plugin and article!) But you right, I also have a low fill rate in my games, unfortunately this is a problem for all developers who use Microsoft Ads. I hoped that with the appearance of interstitial banners and mediation something will change, but the fill rate is still bad.

It would be cool to use ads from Adduplex and video ads from Vungle they have a good fill rate and their SDK is recommended by Microsoft, but unfortunately they do not support winjs

I think in such conditions it makes sense to do only paid games without ads for Windows using Construct2.

I agree, and the funny part is MS is collaborating with few Ad networks and mediating ads automatically. Still their still rates are bad.

I m considering switching to Paid app as well.
