Epic Games Self Publishing

Epic Games have now released self publishing on their store front. Much like Steam, we can use NW.js builds to deploy our games onto the Epic Games Store.

Pretty much the same process and pricing as Steam, $100 per game, but with a small 12% fee for every copy sold, instead of 30% like most other platforms.

Will Scirra make an official plugin like Greenworks to allow us to add achievements etc? Ashley

I was preparing a topic on the subject here on the forum, good that yours before.

Epic requires that the games have achievements, the problem is that in Construct 2 and Construct 3, there is no plugin for achievements of Epic, making it impossible for any developer of the engine publish their games on the platform.

I know that there is a specific Construct site to make this kind of request "which I also already did", but there are some days and I don't see in my account if the proposal was already analyzed, so I decided to open a post here on the forum about the subject.

The Epic Games in the documentation, already has native support for Web API, all well documented, but I do not have enough knowledge to make my game have access to this API.

It would be an amazing opportunity to have a Contruct 3 plugin for Epic Games, at least logging in and releasing achievement, is already enough to make the game available on the store.

Anyone who has the knowledge to create plugins and wants to contribute on the subject will be of great help to the community.

Achievements do not exist in the web rest api, and is therefore not a requirement for such games.

I'm also looking for info about this.

My game has multiplayer, and it grabs the user's Steam name. No idea how I'm meant to do this with Epic or GOG.
