Hi!

Can someone help me make an export of my game that will automatically look for updates when it's opened and update itself?

This happens automatically. See the section "Updating your game" in the tutorial Offline games in Construct.

I just realized that I wasn't specific enough in my question. What I meant to ask was how do I make a self-updating NW.JS export?

That's not currently supported. You could invent your own system like using AJAX to fetch the latest version from a server, and if there's a newer one available, prompt the user to go and download and install it. (This type of thing is much easier on the web...)

Not supported but this would be well received by all! Or at least a C3 guideline on how to go about making this a reality.
