    :

    Check out my Tutorials on how to add new Windows Interstitial ads to your WIndows game

    https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/9555/p ... titial-ads

    Dear Ashley and Tom,

    Firstly thanks to you and your team for working really hard to bring us the latest and greatest updates. We all love them!!

    I hope what I am asking is not huge.

    As you know Windows 10 Dev SDK is officially rolled out with numerous new monetization features on PubCenter.

    * Video Interstitial

    * Ad Mediation for Windows (earlier limited to phone only)

    * IAP

    I wanted to know if Scirra has any plans to bring in these new features into pubCenter too along with the Stable Windows 10 update for C2?

    We read reports of 24 million users Worldwide having already migrated to Windows 10! That's a HUGE userbase.

    Thus I sincerely request you to implement these features and help us Devs make our apps more successful on Windows <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  • I wonder if is possible to use Phonegap IAP with Amazon and Windows or I need to use another plugin for this? Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately its not possible!

    I have to maintain two version for Android (phonegap) and Windows (official IAP)

    Now creating third one for Amazon(Phonegap Admob and Official IAP)

    How'd you manage to get so much downloads? I mean, did it just become popular on it's own?

    Yes, it did!! I only did little bit of Facebook and Twitter promotions. Within few weeks it exploded into 1000s of downloads

    Secret Pro Tip: Use as many languages as you can in the Store Listing

  • Frankly I havent tried amazon yet. But a friend of mine (creator of Hungry Hal) said Admob works on Amazon since its all Android platform in the backend.

    However, I tested my APK on the Amazon App tester, and it didnt have any issues with the Admob plugin. It only said I cant use Google IAP plugin. I now need to create another version to use offical IAP plugin only for amazon

    Also, I heard video ads like Adcolony and Chartbooster will work too But I cant confirm

  • SamRock any video tutorials on exporting with xdk. My only feeling is that xdk is slower. Even the newer version seems slower,

    You should checkout my Isometric (2.5D) game,(link in signature). Its very fast paced and runs smoothly on most phones.

    I dont have any videos for that

    But I believe there are many articles here explaining How its done. On an high level, you export to Cordova->Open XDK->New Project->Import HTML5->Select your exported path.

    Most plugins (admob, IAP) will be automatically added by XDK.

    Then in Project setting you define, the APK properties like version number, App name, description etc.

    After all this, directly goto Build and create your APK

  • I prefer XDK as it works seamlessly with Admob (all type of ads) and also many other Ad plugins.

  • SamRock Thanks! I did make all the graphics and interface myself.

    Neat! Very well made.. I love the Interface

    What are you doing for Monetization? And how is the response?

  • — Beautifully made graphics and interface

    Did you make it all by yourself? Looks very professional for a second game!!

  • I wanna know details of programs did you use, please especially in graphic.

    Hi there! I used Blender 3D for rendering the 3D models (Characters and animations, Vehicles, Weapons and levels).

    Mostly Photoshop for all UI stuff.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • SamRock Hi! Great job! Question for you, how did you setup Chartboost and Adcolony in Construct? Did you use the Admob object or the iAd object? What did you use to create your APK? Was it Cocoon or Intel XDK?

    Thank yous so much! I used — 's Video Ad plugins He is documented all the steps required to setup the Ads and call them from C2. Its very simple. If you have used Admob plugin then this should be very familiar to you.

    I used AdMob. Not sure if iAd will work on Android. Or Does it?

    I used Intel XDK for building the APK. Let me know if you have any more question... love to help fellow devs

  • Ashley, will teh WIndows 10 updates only include changes in the pubCenter and IAP plugins?

    I read MS has introduced Video Ads & Interstitial Ads in pubCenter. It will be great if Scirra team can have these basic plugins ready for stabel version. Also as you work on the IAP plugin, request you to include IAP consumable feature

  • I think the Admob plugin should be able to show ads on Amazon platform.

  • Ashley

    I dont own a Amazon device and am only counting on the Amazon App Test feature. Will C2 IAP work with Amazon app store if I follow all teh steps I did for Google, like setting up the items,

    calling Add Product,

    Request Store listing

    Tracking various IAP features like Purchase, Consume, Restore?

    Since I use lot of Consumables within my game, I interested to know Consumables will work.

  • do you have a solution for adding ads to the "Windows 10 app" ?

    Does the existing Pubcenter plugin not work here?

  • Are you using Build 10240? The latest release? If so, then that's pretty much the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) and it's the closest thing that will be released on July 29th. I haven't tested any games under Visual Studio 2015 yet, but I'm pretty much excited about releasing to Windows 10 platform. I have alot of games waiting for it. As far as I can recalled Web Audio is better on Windows 10's Edge compared to Internet Explorer.

    Yes I am on Build 10240. One more day for the Windows 10 and VS 2015 to go public. Yes! Edge has all the latest Web Browsers specs that we have in Chrome and FF. Also much faster than Chrome.

    I am super excited for Windows 10 release. Just hope VS 2015 Community Edition allows us to test the App on Windows 10 Phone Emulator
