  • I don't know.

    But it makes sense that if you have less code being run, then the game will perform faster.

    You could try doing this experiment yourself, and see how the performance compares. Perhaps just duplicate a lot of your code, till you notice it bog down, then see if your technique thing works.

  • What I like about Construct isn't weather it can do 2D or 3D, it's the whole system and workflow. Do Unreal and Unity have identical event systems? This is partly why people want to see more 3D features in Construct, because it's a more comfortable tool to use than other editors.

  • A painful lesson.

    Yeah there's the backup setting you could turn on, if it's not already.

    I personally don't use that because it would interrupt what you're doing in order to save.

    So I've just developed a habit of saving a new file every hour or so, when I get up for a break.

  • alastair yes, much better

    Thanks, sounds great! Hopefully it can be added.

  • Does anyone have a Steam Deck yet?

    I'm curious if our C3 games will run on it yet.

    Would be cool if someone could visit gamepad-tester.com to see if the Deck's gamepad controls are supported by browsers yet

    cheers

  • Would this have better performance than lots of sprites with the physics behavior?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Thanks for support with your comment!

    It's good to hear other people having the same problem.

    Thanks I didn't know about that keyboard shortcut.

    There's so many hidden shortcuts.

    From memory I'm pretty sure that both C2 and CC used to show keyboard shortcuts, so it's a regression that C3 doesn't show them.

  • It's convenient being able to quickly click the preview button to test your game.

    However! This button uses "Preview Layout" and 99.9% of the time this is not the preview option I want to use!

    Therefore, since I test my game frequently, it would be a wonderful improvement for my workflow (saving clicks, time, and effort) if I could change this button to be one of these other options:

    The default option for the preview button could be placed in the settings menu:

    This way I can click that drop down menu once in the Settings menu, rather than every time I want to preview my game.

    If you would like to support this idea, you can give votes on it here: construct3-21h2.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C321H2-I-439

    Thank you for your consideration! 💖

  • I had this bug too. I was using a different computer, and it wouldn't give me permission to save.

    But that's because the Setting was on "save as".

    So I went to the save option: "download a copy", and was able to save my work there.

  • By "project view search" do you mean how you can search your project here for objects?:

  • Thanks for all the great ideas! It's great to see that others think that improving this would help improve their workflow too.

  • Have you found that finding events in C3 is inefficient?

    For example currently it's impossible to search for an exact event like this:

    "spriteA overlap spriteB"

  • If you're able to word it in a way that sounds like a bug, perhaps you could submit them in that section instead, and the developers may take the suggestions more seriously then?
