    I do not understand why such conversations like these, still comes up. It is not to us users of Construct, to make the bill for Scirra for the simple reason, we can't.

    An unlimited license is good for the user but bad for the company behind it. After a certain amount of time, the sales dry up, still the users expect new features/updates.

    I bought the C3 license from the very start, and did not regret it one moment. Now Scirra created a constant cash flow, which is a much better guarantee for the future of Construct. I can see there is a lot of maintenance and updating on C3.

    Above the unlimited C2 license, dark clouds gather together. With the subscription model, the future of C3 shines bright.

    Exactly. Why are there so many of these stupid topics.

    Search for a related one and post it there, rather than overpopulating the forum with junk mail bashing Scirra.

    Ok, well good luck to you. I've tried a number of alternatives, and Scirra have cracked it!

    FYI ... I'd pay triple the subscription. Anyway that topic has been discussed a lot already.

    And yes, Admobs and in-app purchases are working for me.

    And, the fundamentals are documented online, just a lack of video tutorials I guess.

    [quote:2dpxmggq]Correct me I'm wrong but you still can't export a ready-to-ship APK file from C3?

    I certainly can export an "unsigned APK" directly from C3 ... VERY VERY EASILY, compared with the old Intel XDK method.

    Here's the process. Bold texts show the number of clicks:

    MENU >

    PROJECT >

    EXPORT >

    ANDROID (CORDOVA) >

    NEXT (to skip compression options) >

    Select Unsigned release APK & press NEXT >

    Wait for the upload, and build >

    Press the download link in the pop up

    Once you have the UNSIGNED APK ... you'll need to sign and zipalign it. I do this via command line prompt (takes 30 seconds for me). THEN it is ready for upload

    The main issue with Construct is the problematic exporting to Android/iOS etc, and it seems none of that was addressed. Is C3 just a money grab?

    Android exporting is BRILLIANT in C3. Super quick and easy!

    A minor hiccup in Admobs, but I've got it working flawlessly (including the new reward videos), and Google Services plugin should have been fixed in latest beta.

    I upgraded from C2 6 months ago. Well worth the money!

  • Woops, sorry my JSON file was corrupt. All good!

    Every developer needs this plugin

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Amazing Plugin! So simple to implement!

    There is an issue however with Chinese and other languages with strange characters using json. Is there any way to get these implemented in the same way?

  • UPDATE from Scirra:

    "This is a known issue with the Google Play plugin. It currently only works for HTML exports. We use their web API, which has been blocked in webviews. To get around this I am writing an interface to use the native API instead when in a webview. It's pretty close to completion and should be included in one of the upcoming beta releases."

    ...so looks like it will be fixed very soon

  • FYI. I've submitted a bug to Scirra:

    https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/1282

    ...but if anyone has had any success please let us know.

  • This hasn't ever happened to me. Maybe a screenshot of your code would help, I'm sure there must be a call out of place.

  • I'm struggling to get the Leaderboard using the standard "GooglePlay" plugin to work for a while now. (I had it working with the cranberry plugin in C2)

    The Google auto-sign-in popup doesn't show, and prompting via the "GooglePlay Sign In" action does nothing. I've followed the Construct Manual, but still nothing.

    Has anyone been able to implement it successfully? Or can the Scirra team confirm that this Plugin has a few issues.

  • Try the "Camera Input" example project from the Construct 3 Start Page tab (Intermediate Examples)

    It shows you how to switch between multiple cameras.

  • Ahh yeah I have this issue, and always assumed its simply due to it being in Chrome.

    Bit annoying, but maybe it doesn't happen in the desktop version of C3 ... if it's really driving you mad.

  • Run 'Clear Storage' action. Clears ALL values

    Also, post in C2 forum if C2 related.

  • If you put your name request pop up in the 'missing' block, then it will only ask if the name is not saved.

    If name is saved / exists, it won't run the 'missing' block, so you wont prompt them for their name

  • Hi, you're missing the GET function. You need to put the 'Set Coins' action within it.

    This is how I'm doing it. I've called it from a function, but 'on start of layout' is fine.
