I am trying to download and edit a previous game I published to itch.io

I am new to construct and a while ago I uploaded a game I was working on to itch so I could show a friend.

I have since changed that game and somehow made it unplayable, I am now trying to figure out how to download from my itch account and work on that game from that point.

so far I have found out I can download the zip folder from itch and change the folder to a .c3p file. however when I try to launch it in construct I get the message "Failed to open project. Check it is a valid Construct 3 single-file (.c3p) project".

does anyone know if what i am trying to achieve is possible and what I am doing wwrong.

thank you.

I'm not sure what you uploaded to itch.io, but it wouldn't be a .c3p file.

There isn’t a way to reverse an export back to an c3p file, and I don’t think anyone would be happy if there were.

Do you remember where you saved your c3p working file while working in the editor? There are 3 way of saving: saving it on your machine as a local file (then it might be in the download folder), saving it to a cloud service (e.g. google drive) or saving it to the browser data (I don't have experience with that).

In the settings you can see and adjust were a project is saved to, but you might have been working with a different setting back then, when you say it has been a while ago.

Hi thanks for replying I dont believe I backed up the game at that point, so I'm stuck with the game in its current broken situation, I think I'll just try and fix it or start again and use the assets I made.
