  • Hi there!

    I’m Alex, from Ukraine.

    I have a personal license and enough experience with Construct 2, but have never used Construct 3.

    For example, I made an application for study of English Irregular Verbs for Google Play a few years ago.

    But now I am thinking about new application (not a game) and searching new tool for it (because Construct 2 isn’t supported now).

    So I want to make a choice between low-code tools like Bubble, Backendless, Thunkable, Construct 3 and so on.

    I like Construct and its logic, but I had some troubles, when I was making my previous application. So, would you answer my questions and help me to understand if Construct 3 fits my goals?

    My questions:

    1. 1. Does Construct 3 have any ways to login user via Google account?
    2. 2. What about responsive design? In C2 I had big troubles with it. Is C3 better?
    3. 3. I want to save user’s progress. In my previous app I did it with help of the local storage. But now I need an opportunity to restore user’s data, when he deletes app, and installs it again.
    4. 4. The same question is about purchases. There were no purchases in my previous app. But now I want users to have a possibility to make purchases and restore them after reinstalling the app. Can C3 do it?
    5. 5. It’s optional, but I like using the analytics systems like Amplitude. Is it possible to connect any analytic to my app in C3?
  • 1. According to this developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web it seems to just need a few lines of code. Considering in C3 we have access to HTML/Iframes/Javascript I think it should be possible, but I haven't tried this way. I have made a login with firebase though. (See point 3)

    2. I'm not aware that anything major changed in that regard with C3. You still have stuff like the Anchor behavior that are supposed to be used for that. The new HTML plugin might be of great use I think, for displaying certain stuff like lists responsive.

    3. I see two options: Offer a backup button that downloads the safe file to the device outside of local storage. Or have a database online that (also) stores the saves in case the device explodes (or something like that) You could look into google firebase for that which I think would mesh well with the google login. Or you can run your own server (either way will cost money)

    4. Short answer, yes: construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/mobile-iap But read through carefully since there's some caveats to this.

    5. If it supports javascript, I'd say most likely yes. I haven't tried though.
