  Make sure you can see file extensions:

  Then rename .c3p extension to .zip

  Not sure I understand the question, but you can achieve the same result with Pixellate effect. Try adding it to the layer or the entire layout.

  Try renaming the file to .zip (but make a backup copy first). Then unpack to an empty folder and try opening it in C3 as a "project folder".

  You need to import your fonts into the project. After that you will be able to select them.

  Thanks for the detailed answer!

  Yeah, with the new File System plugin the NWjs kind of becomes obsolete. I would switch to WebView2 if it had Steam support.

  EDIT: I just realized that File System plugin only has access to "picked" files. This is a big limitation. I haven't seen games which display a system file picker dialogue in ages, it will look very unprofessional!

  I'd be interested in thoughts on using Windows WebView2 for Steam publishing, assuming we got it to work - would the lack of macOS or Linux support be significant?

  I think it is significant. Large publishers want to cover all platforms, it will be a big problem if the game doesn't work on MacOs. There is also a growing number of Steam Deck players, so Linux support is pretty important.

  I'd add it should be possible for third-party developers to step in too

  Yeah, I was going to ask - maybe you could team up with someone like Chadori or Mikal to develop a new Steam addon?

  The latest Greenworks addon for C3 works with NW.js version 0.71 and Steamworks SDK 1.50, both of which are pretty outdated. And looks like the Greenworks project has been abandoned, so there will probably be no new versions.

  It's quite worrisome that in order to make games for the largest gaming platform we have to rely on a bunch of old libraries which may stop working with any new C3 or Steam update.

  Do you have any plans on releasing an update to Greenworks or making a new Steam addon with more features?

  Because the numbers contain commas, they are sorted as text, alphabetically. For example "209" goes before "21", because as a character "0" is less than "1".

  You need to remove commas in the array, then they will be treated as numbers. And then format these numbers before displaying them. For example:

  Set text to int(number/1000) & "," & (number%1000)

  You need to import fonts you are using into the project. And then select them from this list:

  

  This way they will work on all devices.

  There are also rope and bar pin modes which can't be done with hierarchy.

  Thanks for the praise :) But the website was actually created and managed by dazedangels, who also contributed quite a few cool examples there!

  You probably need to store current scale value in an instance variable on the sprite. And use that variable instead of the fixed "0.5" number.

  Ship set scale to clamp(Ship.curScale+(Touch.X-ScaleX)*0.0090, 0.3, 1.5)

  When resizing is finished, save the new scale value to curScale variable.

  0.3 and 1.5 are the minimum and maximum values for the clamp() expression. See the official manual:

  There is no bug. The engine needs to know which instance you want to compare, that's why you need to pick the correct instance. If you don't pick, then the first available instance is used and the result may be different from what you expect.
