  • Benchmarks ( of all kinds, not just Construct runtime ) , for the most part are ********* I only care about real life performance. Game either runs fine or it doesn't.

    If they made sure ads worked perfectly and if I could export everything directly from Construct 3 ( working APK, iOS versions, whatever ) I'd gladly give them $500 a year, but right now, v. 3 is not quite what it's supposed to be.

    *********

    Not really. Far from it.

    If you have read the article. The way they approached the new runtime really makes sense that it would be faster than c2runtime. Like the use of web workers, removing backwards compatibility for canvas2d and focusing on WebGL technology, lightening and refactoring the runtime, compiling expressions to Javascript and etc...

    The Construct 3 runtime is super fast and super light compared to C2runtime. You won't even need Canvas+ and Cocoon.IO anymore, which makes bloated application.

    I am a subscription user of Cocoon.IO and I plan to stop soon since the Construct 3 runtime has proven to be better in terms of supporting the updated Cordova CLI version and performance, far exceeding Canvas+ and without any DOM limitations.

    Not to mention, the rendering performance gain from the Sprite-sheeting feature of the Construct 3 Editor.

    Construct 2 is only ever fast using Cocoon.IO with the bloated Webview plugin. But is still not that fast.

    And, the Construct 3 Admob is actually in the same league as the most up-to-date Cordova Admob available on NPMJS. So, what everyone on Construct 3 is experiencing for Admob IOS GDPR, every indie developers using HTML5 are experiencing it.

    I've ported a lot of plugins just to support the Construct 3 runtime, because the speed solves and will solve a lot of performance problems now and in the future.

    I hope this clears things up.

  • Okay. No Problem.

  • I can do that for you guys.

    Actually Construct 3 has an offline Desktop Build. And Construct 3 won't always prompt you to re-login to check your subscription status.

    Desktop Build Link:

  • Hello.

    I could make it for a reasonable price. Although, I don't get what you guys want from that cordova plugin.

    The features it has are basically only push notifications, analytics, event tracking and crash reporting.

    It doesn't read or write.

    You still have to implement the Firebase Database and FireStore features.

    Although, I can still do this. It is just very complicated and it won't be cheap.

    If you want to hire me as a developer for this.

  • Topic Reference :: construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/general-discussion-7/why-is-construct-3-subscriptio-136735

    Continuing the topic really isn't necessary anymore. The answer was already provided and there is even a FAQ https://www.construct.net/make-games/faq for questions like this.

    Instead of giving out reasoning, it became more like of a topic of ranting and going against how the company works, as if it will ever change or be supported.

    But for information's sake. The world of game development or generally software, is evolving. Editors make more, are maintained and innovated more with subscription based pricing instead of one time payment like how Adobe and Microsoft Office now have changed into.

    This is because the state of software is always volatile.

    BuildBox Pricing: $1188 per year.

    buildbox.com/license-options-trial

    For example, Buildbox, is a good example of an overpriced subscription based software that is not even near in the competing level in regards of capabilities compared to Construct 3. That is only overpriced if we compare it to Construct 3's pricing.

    The yearly subscription price for the Pro Version is nearly $1200.

    That makes the Construct 3 Subscription very cheap, considering that BuildBox can only make by default, simple and pre-defined games.

    Although, their target market is making it easier for non-developers who want to make simple games.

    So that sounds fair.

    And nobody has the right to tell the BuildBox company is overpriced as their service is for a different goal. As long as they follow the law.

    So, I hope that clears the need for much debate.

    Cheers.

    — - You probably know about this already, but just making sure.

    Ohh. I mean the new runtime. The one with the performance boost.

    There are 2 runtimes on the Construct 3 Editor. One is the C2.5 runtime or the C2 runtime, which works with the scml plugin. And another is the C3 runtime, which is the recently made one.

    But you probably already know that, but just to make sure too.

    C3 Runtime :

  • twofoxapps

    I have this problem too.

    the project has this problem when the google play plugin is active, in my case!

    I believe this issue was closed and already fixed. According to Construct Team.

    github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues/1865

    I'm talking about C2Runtime.

    It also gives an error.

    It's proven then. It's similar to my bug.

    It is because the Cordova Plugin is not compatible with the CLI 8.0.0.

    Before: github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues/1863

    After : github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues/1864

    This is how I solved it but it involves knowledge on Cordova or contacting the original Cordova Developer.

    In this case Nepeo.

    This is not a Construct 3 bug but a Cordova bug. Just to avoid confusion when reporting.

    I've explained it here : github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues/1865

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • If they would request different screen sizes of your application. Then, they would have listed it on the Apple Developer Console.

    I hope that helps.

  • lucid that's great! And also thank you for updating and fixing the SCML plugin.

    Maybe after releasing Spriter 2. You can also port the SCML to C3runtime so that we can take advantage of Construct 3's performance with the new runtime to be able to do more with Spriter 2's new features. Thanks.

    Basically for more reliable, faster and stable maintenance and innovation of the Editor and Runtime and also to keep up with up-to-date HTML5 technology which wasn't that feasible or as fast with only Construct 2 - One Time Payment.

    Including, website, cloud build service, server, feature requests, bug reports and especially making the Construct Team bigger to respond to all those previously mentioned, faster and better in terms of quantity and quality.

    I hope that shed some light on the subject.

    My solution was to reference an updated version of the Cordova Plugin that will be compatible with the CLI 8.0.0.

    Here : github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues/1864

    The solution might be more applicable for the original developer, Nepeo.

    You are just going to have to wait for him to create a fix. It doesn't seem to be bad enough case though.

    I bet he can fix it soon, just need a little bit of patience.

    Agreed.

    We pay a subscription to make it work!

    What's the point of subscribing if something always breaks or doesn't work?

    It is an experimental feature [C3 runtime]. Of course, it isn't even recommended for publishing.

    You can export at your own risk.

    Besides, you can still export using the usual way.
