  • You could even add like a permission system where you can lock certains layouts or event sheets for people

    That are working on a protect. I just can't believe that a feature like this wasn't thought since was asked so many times, seeing C3 now understanding that there won't be any collaboration feature, it's makes me go all the way back, im already used to C2 interface and pipeline and I don't see any advantage in moving now.

  • I think full-blown collaboration is a really difficult feature to use in practice. This is my example of how tricky it can be for users:

    Alice and Bob are both editing the same project

    Alice adds a Sprite

    Bob adds an event for that Sprite

    Alice presses undo

    What happens now? Does the carpet get yanked out under Bob and some of his work just vanishes? Or is Alice simply unable to undo - so a key feature of the editor is disabled? I'm not convinced there is a good answer to situations like this, and it seems like collaboration would quickly break down in to a nightmare of either being unable to change what you want, or trampling over other people's work.

    There's already a great way to organise collaborated projects - source control does it well, and you can already use that.

    There is a good answer, it's called a pop up message...man that's basic UX stuff that many browser tools

    already figured out...

    The problems you are listing are really but really easy to solve, a team working on a project are in constant communication, there can even be an implemented chat and all, stuff like "not being able to work" will never happens, there are also soooo many softwares that have collaboration features in real time even softwares for video editing.

    I will suggest you Ashley to do some research firts instead of saying no from the start, since it's not something impossible to do and that many softwares do already, all the problems you are listing are really but reaaaaally easy to solve for an UX expert.

  • The "Guest" text in the screenshots refers to the local login, not a collaboration feature.

    Wooah that's mades me go all back then :/

    Since c3 will be a browser tool isn't there an change to have a feature like that???

    Because I don't see why I would like to use c3 on any tablet or phone or anywhere else than my main computer

    If the engine is still focusing on solo development pipeline.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • in the firts day the talked about this feature, you can even see the "guests" on the right corner of the construct 3 screenshot.

  • hi! i was wondering if we could see a post talking more in depth about the feature of having guests in our project, it is going to be like 2 or more people working in real time on a project? does the administrator of the project gives certain areas to work for the other people? like for example someone that can only edit layouts or someone that can only go to certain event sheets? it is in real time? it is like google drive? i would totally love to see a more depth talking about this topic since this is

    the main reason i will buy Construct 3.

  • It's linked to in layout properties so you can generally easily access it from a layout view. However we could always try to make it more visible. Where else do you think it could be exposed?

    BTW this is a good example of something that a CSS theme cannot change - it needs logic added to the application itself.

    i think the entire structure of the c3 interface should be really different from c2 and thats why just "moving" that option to another panel wouldnt solve the problem, it needs a new ui structure, things like not being able to work with multiple monitors or that event sheets takes horizontal space instead of vertical like real code and the shape of the events are really huge and take a lot of space, look to any adobe software or apple and compare it to construct interface and you can see its pretty old.

    yeah we can drag all the boxes to any side of the screen like in Construct2 but they will be Incomfortable to use, try to snapping ANY box to the top or down sides of the UI, they will look like they dont belong there.

    i asked about changing the ui before for C3 and thom said that with the CSS we could do more than just a color change of the themes :/

  • CSS will only allow cosmetic changes, probably not any significant layout changes. What kind of layout changes do you want? You know you can drag around the bars everywhere and put them where you want?

    stuff like "project properties" is really hidden in the properties bar and can only be seen when clicking the layout, its really really hidden for new users and i remember struggling just to change the window size when i started using construct2, there are so many badplaced things too that i cant remember atm but project properties is one of them.

  • Our designer hasn't got his hands on the UI yet, we'll be doing an updated theme and a few alternate themes (including a dark one) when we get round to it, hopefully during the public beta.

    that is amazing! but what im looking for with this project is to modify the workplace of C3 rather than just a color change, since i dont really like how stuff is placed in C2

  • I am in , if there is still a free seat , I am already having plans to resume working on plugins for C3

    will pm you!

  • hi guys, since i saw the Construct 3 UI i didnt like it, i was expecting something more like an adobe ui, like a "professional" software look, so thats why i will try to change all icons and colors of the new Construct 3 ui, but i will need someone experienced in CSS to do some twitches and changes that can improve the use of the tool, i am a UI artist so im used to do this kind of stuff, the final result will be sold in the scirra store and thats why im looking for someone that can do the CSS part, we can split the revenue in 50% with no problem.

    anyone interested in joining me?

    Construct 3 fee is perfect and amazing for a studio or a company but for small indies doing experiments and games it isnt.

  • i couldnt understand the instructions, can someone do an example capx?

  • because after 2 comes 3.

  • if they add a built in wrapper, oh boy i will pay how much they want!!

    i HATE having to going to third parties to wrap, i HATE having to pay a service when i already pay for an engine.

  • Construct is the best engine for creating 2D iOS games, since if you want to publish for Android you will die with the performance problem of all the android devices that exists... so an idea? develop only for iOS, i bought an iPhone and since i did that i bought a macbook for other works non-related to construct but especially for the apple certificates.... and now with today's news about being able to develop games on mobile, that was amazing, funny thing is that it doesn't support iOS
