  Which of the three projects do you want me to try to recover?

  It should be working. I've tried it and verified it's all working normally. I'd advise just starting over - do a fresh install following the steps in the first post in this thread.

  You could try saving the project as a folder and then edit the .js files in that folder with other software.

  As with any digital work, it is essential to make regular backups to protect your work in the event of a software/hardware failure, fire, flood, theft, etc.

  If you share the project file, I could try to recover it, but I cannot guarantee anything (e.g. if hardware failure overwrote the entire file with zeros, there's nothing that can be done).

  Try using the Shift+F4/F5 keyboard shortcut to start the debugger.

  Local file/folder saves are now supported in Chrome, so you don't need to use the desktop app just for that. If you do want to keep using the desktop app, make sure you download the latest version again from the first post in this thread, and follow the instructions to use it with the latest version of NW.js.

  If you imported .wav files, and Construct converted them to WebM for you, it should work. Again, it's hard to say more without seeing the project.

  This is the Construct 3 forum. r210 is the latest Construct 3 release. r273 is an old C2 release. The latest C2 release is r279, where the target SDK has also been updated.

  I just tried a HTML5 export and it worked fine.

  It's hard to help without more information - at least a link to where you've uploaded it, or the project file.

  I can't predict the future. Sometimes things come up, sometimes they don't.

  Construct 3 is virtually 100% compatible with existing Construct 2 projects. Normally the only significant issue is the use of third party addons, which are the responsibility of their respective developers. Often there are built-in alternatives or other third-party addons supported in C3 that can be used instead though.

  This is all explained in the blog post Sunsetting Construct 2. As noted there, we will only do essential bug fixes and compatibility updates until July 2021. Beyond that date there will be no further support at all.

  Given that I was the sole developer ever working for Construct 2, and this is a similar support period that Microsoft provides for Windows with thousands of developers all over the world, I think this is a pretty reasonable life cycle for the product. If you still need active support and new features, you can upgrade to Construct 3, and you have about a year to work out any compatibility problems if any come up.

  No software is supported forever. C2 is coming up to 10 years old. Retirement and replacement by a newer version is a normal thing that happens in the software industry, pretty much no matter what software you use. We've been phasing out C2 slowly and making announcements along the way to give everyone plenty of time to upgrade.

  It should work. It's hard to say more unless you share your project. Make sure all the audio files are valid WebM Opus files.

  It was updated already in r209.
