  • Looks amazing. Waiting for the commercial license. I don't see any sense for me to use it in my project if i can't publish them. How is your camera plugin doing?

    Hey thanks! I'm still working on the commercial version. It covers more scenarios that I haven't completed testing, it will take me a bit more to finish it. That's why I decided to release first a beta n.c. and because some devs asked for a free tier. Hobbyists mostly I assume.

    My camera plugin is also a big project. It is still a bit broken by the SDK v2. It works, but it flickers a lot. I haven't been able to isolate the problem and report it to scirra. It may had to do with the new wrapping fuctions of the sdk. It's also a work-in-progress. I've not been fully convinced of its stability to make it public. I held it for that.

    Several months have passed since the last public update of the framework. I’ve made several improvements and decisions to make the framework more reliable, flexible, and easier to use for everyone. I’ve also published my first game using it, which provided me with valuable insights on what to improve and what types of functionality I should consider for future releases. The current state of the tool has motivated me to finally make it available for everyone. I know the community consists mostly of hobbyists and students, and many of their projects are the starting point of their careers, which will eventually lead them to create great games. Therefore, I’m releasing a free, non-commercial beta version of Smart UI, with the goal of helping Construct 3 developers create amazing UIs for their games more quickly and easily. SmartUI is a tool designed for indie developers to leverage affordable tools and resources to make games. This means my commercial model will support small studios and solo devs, while I continue to develop the commercial version. If a larger company wants to use it, the licensing terms will differ, and I’m still evaluating the specifics...

  • > Nothing in my previous post was criticizing your method. I'm just stating facts to let others decide before clicking on your link. Not sure why you're trying to explain to me about needing a license for monetization. Do you currently offer said license? No, you don't. Some people might not want to waste their time with it if they can't currently use it for commercial purposes.

    Thanks for the heads up, quite a sneaky tactic I almost fell for. Cheers!

    Lancifer gustavoChico So, I'm going to abandon this thread for sure and continue with mines already there. But here's a couple of clarifications. ProUI is getting deprecated, I started making a whole UI framework for myself, but I decided to share it with other devs by releasing first a non-commercial version of it. The commercial is still under development because I want to make sure it works as smooth as possible, there's a lot of work I still need to complete but I already have a pretty stable release that many c3 devs are using. I'm trying to drag attention to it because the most benefited is the construct community, I didn't planned on releasing it at first, but some reactions motivated me to do so. I live from my ed.games and the addons I make, so keep in mind that we, as indies, do all we can to market our stuff. I'm pretty sure everyone on this post has cross-published their work somewhere. That's why reactions like yours seem odd to me, just as if a player rated 1 star your beloved game by apparently no reason without even knowing what it is about, as if I where a big greedy company.

    Anyway, the framework is there, this year I'll release the commercial version, and no one here is tricking anyone, I have a thread about it clearly stating what I intent to do with it.

    There you go, I'll move on and you can keep doing your stuff.

    I'm not sure what's up with being rude dude. I believe this is the first time you hear about it. Anyway, just move on.

    Just an FYI for anyone that overlooks the fine-print...

    It's a NON-COMMERCIAL beta, and currently only exports to html5. Also, the plugin's framework is served from a CDN and needs a CONSTANT internet connection to function.

    Just like with any software, monetization requires a license. If you make games for fun/hobby, the free license should be enough.

    It's fully compatible with the SDK v2.

  • thanks for your interest! I haven't release a commercial version yet, I'm in the process of publishing the beta (which will already be commercial), but it's still not finished. I'll post the release date when I have it ready. For sure it will be this year (within 2 months).

  • You can try the alpha version. It's already available. Links in this thread.

  • Hi community, just a small update. I'm currently developing a game I had on my pipeline using the framework. I'm testing it on a "real" scenario. The game will be published as part of my educational games portfolio in the upcoming months.

    So far, the framework is working pretty well. I can say it's very stable, which means that I will be in a good position to release the beta version with the set of bug fixes and additions I built over the last weeks.

    I'll be posting the beta launch date soon.✌️

  • Smart UI for Construct 3

    Hi Community!

    Smart UI is a framework and set of addons designed to simplify UI design and development in the Construct 3 game engine.

    One of Construct 3's weakest features is UI design, as it relies entirely on HTML/CSS, which tends to perform poorly when exported to the Cordova wrapper. As a result, many developers have opted to create their own UI systems using sprites and custom ACEs within the engine to achieve the desired behavior. However, the main drawback of this approach is its low portability, as Construct lacks the prefab capabilities provided by other engines, limiting reuse. This challenge led to the development of Smart UI, a plug-and-play set of addons that can be included in any world instance to function as specific UI components and it's completely built using SDK v2 to extend its lifespan as much as possible.

    I decided to open the alpha testing of SmartUI to the world. The purpose of this is to allow as many devs as possible to play with the addons for free for the rest of the year, while I prepare the beta version.

    I'm eager to have your feedback on the tool, to improve it for the beta and to add features that will be appreciated by other construct 3 devs.

  • By combining the available add-ons, you can create custom and complex components. I'm updating the demo to show how I integrated these components. The biggest advantage is that the custom component integrates seamlessly with all the validations and interactions that the framework already provides, including cascading enabling components, constraint interactions within a scroll view, zIndex prioritization, and navigation.

    The dropdown list is a combination of dialogs, radio buttons, grid layouts, and containers.

    The multiple-choice dropdown is composed in the same way, replacing radio buttons with checkboxes.

  • Hi Community!

    A week ago I sent invitations to all the devs who registered for the closed alpha to test the SmartUI addons. Over 70 people got invited, +30 redeemed the download keys but I'm getting more serious now. I decided to open the alpha testing to the world. The guidelines for the testing are still the same for those invited. The purpose of this is to allow as many devs as possible to play with the addons for free for the rest of the year, while I prepare the beta version.

    I'm eager to have your feedback on the tool, to improve it for the beta and to add features that will be appreciated by other construct 3 devs.

    So, check it out! https://ppstudiomty.itch.io/smart-ui

    Happy gamedev!
