  • Thank you guys! I need to remember to search first next time. Very helpful!

  • austin I'm looking at releasing for CocoonJS, and I noticed there were issues integrating this plug in with it. Is there any updates with that?

  • I work from two computers, and currently I take my Construct project back and forth from home to cafe locations. If I pay for a license, will it work on both my machines, or will i need to buy two licenses? Thanks!

  • Thank you so much for the quick and informative response, jayderyu! Really, my only interests are to develop for standalone and perhaps Android, so this works out great.

  • So, I stepped away from Construct 2 for a while when I started going to school for Video Game Design. When I discovered the Multiplayer object update a couple days ago, I just about lost my shit with excitement. That and the IAP system have completely renewed my interest in Construct. Some quick questions:

    1. Can Multiplayer work with Google Play's on board system? If not, is that in the works?

    2. Can the multiplayer object be used in mobile based projects? Can I make multiplayer games for Android and iOS?

    3. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I mean... hm, question. Ah! Have I told you how much I appreciate this feature?!

    4. What are the plans for the future of multiplayer? Has anyone tried playing around with extending it? Thanks for all the help!

  • OMGOMGOMG! I wish I had found this two months ago! Thank you so much!

  • I imagine you'd want to instead talk to whatever ratings board governs South Africa.

  • Hey folks! I have some friendly suggestions for anyone thinking about developing for Windows 8 or the Windows 8 Phone. I have spent probably a week going back and forth with the submission process, and at great cost, with several reinventions of the wheel, am slowly getting apps on to the markets. I'd like to offer to you the opportunity to learn from my frustration.

    • ICONS. This seems like such a small thing, but you need icons for both stores. Windows 8 is fairly self explanatory, but for windows phones, use iconic tiles. Update your tiles in the WMAppManifest.
    • USE THE CERTIFICATION KIT. Both Windows 8 and the Windows Phone SDKs for Visual Studio come with Ceritification Kits. These are very useful but time consuming tools that will make sure your apps are technically compliant. Pain in the rear, but can save you frustration down the line.
    • HAVE WINDOWS 8 PRO. Though you don't need windows 8 pro to develop the apps, you DO need it to test your apps and deploy them. If you don't have windows 8 at all, you're looking at $200. If you have windows 8 basic, it's about $100 upgrade.
    • Licenses are a thing! Keep in mind you will be spending $50 for a windows 8 license, and $100 for a windows phone license!
    • Incorporate Back button functionality in your phone apps. Though construct 2 doesn't do this natively, there's a couple of great plugins that not only do this, but will give you support for in app purchases, trial mode, and more. Plugins are AWESOME!
    • Don't check more than "America" in regions you're releasing to. Okay, that's not technically true, but be aware that in certain countries, Windows Market will require you get certified by the local ratings board to release to that market. For example, Australia and Brazil require it of their games.

    I hope you find my advice helpful, and that it saves you some frustrations!

  • Hey folks, just a heads up, the HTML elements in Construct 2 will fail your app in the Windows Store... as they don't support touch functionality. For buttons, replace this with a touchable sprite. For drop boxes, try a button that leads to a menu layout of sprites for making a selection.

  • This plugin is phenomenal. So simple, yet it adds SO much to construct. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • I personally would LOVE to see a kongregate plugin that incorporated Kreds as well as some of the rest of the Kongregate API...

  • thehen

    You just saved my bacon, man. Ashley, you should think about incorporating this plugin as a standard for construct, because without it exporting to Windows 8 will fail. The back button support and IAP purchases, as well as trial support was a godsend.

  • Oh man I'm so excited to have found something like this. You sir, are amazing.

  • Hey guys I just posted an update to this game. I'd love a little more feedback, especially from users with touchscreens! Thanks!

  • Thanks for the feedback! This was developed primarily for phones, specifically the windows phone. I will update it in a bit to better fit computers. Thanks again! I'll look in to the collision problems.
