  • So now that we have heard a lot of the announcements from Construct 3, to be honest it has been pretty underwhelming, yes there are a few cool things, but there are no significant improvements nor added functionality to what I already do. This isn’t a thread to complain, but this is my wishlist, in Construct 3’s current state there are no significant added benefits for me to upgrade so I will see if there are any meaningful improvements in the future. My wishlist are as follows:

    1. Better physics behaviour. The Physics behaviour works well enough, but doing more advanced things is pretty complicated, it would be really interesting what kind of physics games could be created with a better physics engine.

    2. Multiple collision polygons. Sprites should be able to have more than one collision polygon, instead of using multiple sprites.

    3. Able to write custom programs/code in the game, instead of making them plugins or behaviours, similar to Game Maker.

    4. More advanced particle generator

    5. More behaviours that automate time consuming processes. Such as creating a behaviour for a menu and then calling it ‘menu’ to use all the time.

    6. Better animation import support, similar to gamemaker, that automatically imports all the frames of animations correctly

    7. Better educational support features, such as allowing teachers to build in game tutorials in Construct 3, similar to Microsoft Touch Develop.

    That’s all I can think of, for now.

    You guys are free to write your suggestions for Construct 3, please do not use this thread to complain about C3 or praise it. After all the blogs that we have been released, this is just a list of suggestion from the community to improve on C3.

  • Hello all,

    While I have gotten the database/php all working I require a plugin for a complex task, for an education technology company.

    I am requiring a somewhat complicated plugin for Construct 2. This plugin needs to ‘fill in the blanks’ For example: “I do not like green eggs and ham” would be automatically changed to “I __ not like __ eggs and ___”. I want this to be done automatically, not manually moving invisible boxes or anything else that requires any manual process. This needs to be done automatically. Either the user decides which words should be blanked or plugin does it automatically.

    The next step would allow a user then to draw different key words to the fill in the blanks and if they got it correct remove the filling in the blank and add the right word.

    If you need further help understand what I require, please do not hesitate to contact at

    If you do understand and you think you could do that. Let me know how much you will think it will cost, I am open to all offers.

    Kind regards,

    Adam

  • Hi all,

    Apologies for not closing this earlier, the work has already been done.

    Thanks,

    — I don't see why you post anything, people like you are causing a huge rift in the community. The community needs to be brought together, making comments 'just leave' doesn't help anyone.

    So your strategy and Scirra's strategy is divide and conquer? Get rid of over half the community and then be satisfied?

    At least this is a great business case on what NOT to do. Just sad this has happened to my favourite game engine.

    — the more patience they expect of the community the more people like myself are looking into different game engines.

    Over two years of silence over the development of Construct 3 and still no solid features announced. I don't need patience Game maker 2 is out and Fusion 3 will be out soon.

    I am not jumping ship yet, but I will be spending more time looking at what other game engines provide.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

    The problem is you haven't released any information that has most people excited. As a construct 2 evangelist, I have been really really looking forward to Construct 3, yet there have been no features announced that keep me interested.

    Before this I hadn't looked at any other game engines, a part from Unity, in years. Now I have been looking a lot at other game engines, because so far there is nothing demonstrates to me why I should stick with Scirra.

    So far what you have released looks great, but there have been many other features people have been asking for years, I suggest you start with them next week.

    I feel like Scirra is trolling the community.

    Day 1: Subscription guys! Just wait tomorrow and we will have more info!

    Day 2: The game looks pretty! Just wait tomorrow and we will have more info!

    Day 3: Works on a mobile! Just wait next week and we will have more info!

    So far there havent been any real announcements yet, so I am going to assume the next few weeks of announcements:

    Week 2: Support in multiple languages guys! Oh but if you are in a developing country where the economy has tanked you have to pay us in US currency! But we thought really hard about it.

    Week 3: Better editor plugin support guys! Look at all these cool plugins you can now make.

    Week 4: Your c2 projects will always work in c3 guys!

    Week 5: we chose a new text font for construct 3 guys!

    Week 6: We have integrated the new Apple touch bar with Construct 3 guys!

    Week 7: The play button has been increased by 20% to increase efficiency guys!

    This dribble of information shows just how much contempt Scirra has, after all these years of complete silence we are supposed to be excited about a few pieces of information, that still don't explain why Construct 3 has become subscription only?

    I wish I didn't keep coming back to read the articles, because they are clearly not going to say much for a long time.

    TLDR: Scirria is pussyfooting around the subject with construct 3 so far. The less information I get, the more research I do into other game engines.

    I agree wtih you all. I use Construct for professional use and if it is over $200 a year and doesnt have any significant upgrades I will keep on using Construct 2.

    If enough people do not buy Construct 3 Scirra will have to change their subscription model.

    Seriously, I am expecting to sea massive improvements for Construct 3, so far you guys decided to announce Construct 3 pretty poorly to the community.

    Most of us don't care if it works on a Mac, next time announce news that is of real interest to the community.

  • Hi all,

    I need some work done for my website/game. I have data going from the game to the database. However, I need data to go from the database(s) to the game. The following data will need to be sent:

    TeacherID

    ClassID

    StudentID

    Student_fname

    Student_lname

    This will most likely require custom PHP. I would ideally like this to be completed by the 7/02/2017.

    I will pay around $100 USD for this, we can negotiate this later. If you are interested add me on Skype, my skype is adam.weber247

    Thanks!

  • Hi all,

    I just wondering if there is any way to spawn a sprite at a specific word in a text. For example: "The quick black fox jumped over the lazy dog". When 'the' is in the text it spawns a sprite behind/above 'the' text word.

    I hope that makes sense.

    Thanks for the help!

  • Hi Fredriksthlm,

    Thanks for your advice, the problem is that I need A LOT of data to go into my database and my friend who is far better at IT than I and he told me when processing a lot of data is best to stay away from relying too much on PHP.

    Thanks though for your help,

    Adam

  • Hi all,

    I need a plugin to send my .json data to a SQL database. I am happy to pay for this plugin and then you can freely distribute this plugin to everyone else. Please note that the game I am creating, will only be exported on the web; HTML5. No mobile platforms, node.js or anything else. It is very important that it works with HTML5.

    Please PM or send an email to if you are interested or have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Adam

  • Hi all,

    I am looking for some help with understanding how to set up a multiplayer game. I will provide more details later, but I am looking for someone who has had enough experience with multiplayer and how it works with construct 2.

    While I do not really want to discuss here what I am designing, I will explain abstractly. My goal is to gather a lot of data from the peers to rank and assess them and provide all of that data to the host.

    Please email me on if you believe you have the experience with construct 2 and Multiplayer. Please provide a brief description (a couple of sentences) of your experience. I am prepared to pay $50USD if you can help me out.

    Thanks!

    Adam

  • Hi Acey,

    Great plugin you have made! I tried to set it up but kept on getting the error message and then saw your message that it requires PHP 5.6.

    What web provider did you use to get it working? I am hoping for a free one, as I am going to teach my students how to create a a very basic information system, but if I have to pay a little bit, thats ok.

    I tried to use dropbox, but I got a couple of errors from your plugin. However, I am not sure if that is because I tried to use dropbox to host a website.

    Thanks for the help,

    Adam

  • Hi all,

    I am pretty passionate about social justice, I am wondering if anyone wants to create a new game studio that focuses on anything related to social justice.

    Issues such as refugees, human rights abuse in various countries, transparency, corruption and of course environmental concerns.

    I have my Masters in Information Technology specialisation in Managment I spent a year working as a humanitarian worker (before realising there is too much paper work!) so I have the IT skills and the passion to form a team that works on social justice apps.

    All you need to join is a little bit of skill and a passion to change the world, one app at a time .

    Either PM me or send me an email at

    Please Note: When deciding what game to make, there will be a vote and the game that has the highest votes will be made. I will be the project manager, but I don't mind what social justice apps/games we create .
