  • Every engine has it.. Why cant construct have it too?

    Would make making idle games so much better..

    and they have been raising in rep with paid idle games like melvor idle etc...

    I dont think idle is bad as of nowdays.. and I mean.. why cant we have background mode on C3... that would make this engine perfect for me...

    I made a game called Norega posted on construct store people seemed to like it...

    Would be so cool if we coould get this..

    Not everyone is going to use Construct to make games run on phone..

    There is a ton and a bunch of PC TOP QUALITY PAID IDLE games nowdays...

    The genre has been gaining tons of popularity..

    Its my favorite genre since Soda Dungeon.

    I am also making non IDLE games that functions great here...

    I know you gonna recommend me use the date function... but that totally makes the game way harder to be made then to just let it runing on background...

    Not all IDLE GAMES have offline earnings.. some idle games require minimum interaction...

    So could you help me? =)

  • If you want a game to keep doing stuff in the background while the user is not using it, you don't actually need, and don't actually want, to keep the app live and running in the background. This seems to be a common misconception. All it will do is waste the user's resources/battery.

    Instead you can use the suspended/resumed triggers to identify when the app goes to sleep and wakes up, measure how much time passed, and then simulate that much time passing on waking up. This is why Construct doesn't have a "keep awake in background" option - for this type of purpose, it's unnecessary and wasteful.
