Tom's Forum Posts

  • OK next update auto follows when you reply to a topic, and I've removed email notifications as they are not being used often.

  • Hmmm I might of overlooked part of the design here:

    - When you follow a topic the default email settings are to email you when followed topics are replied to

    - You're only notified of topics you've created, follow, or are referenced

    I'm a little hesitant to auto follow topics you post in, but I think that's probably the best route here. I'll try and get this adjusted with regards to email (perhaps I'll disable email notifications for forum posts).

  • It's a work in progress, I'm rolling it out slowly. Improvements are on the way.

  • These are now re-implemented. I've got lots of notifications to add, but for now the forum notifications are back in.

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • All asset store items are sold under their respective licenses regardless as to what the descriptions say - I'd recommend reaching out to the asset author to see if you bought the asset from us they would grant you an extended license permitted for use as you describe.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • They were broken for a lot of people so they are gone for now - but will be rewriting and reimplementing them soon

  • Ashley is currently writing a learn JS tutorial course here:

    construct.net/en/courses/learn-javascript-construct-79

    I beleive he's aiming for 1 per week.

  • What you create in Construct 3 is yours, so yes you can publish your projects on Github with open source licenses.

  • Please send an email to supportsgx@construct.net and we'll look into this for you.

  • The forum software has changed three times now, most of the redirects I beleive work but I'm afraid some would of been lose. You can search Google to find the topic in question:

    google.com/search

    Leads to:

    construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/how-do-i-18/arcing-projectile-49016

  • Thank you! Yes, have been working hard on improving a few pages and adding a new one:

    construct.net/en/make-games/games-editor

    construct.net/en/make-games/free-trial

    construct.net/en/make-games/gamemaker-alternative

    Working on refreshing our homepage at the moment, and then likely will move on to revamping some other parts of the site.

    Glad you appreciate the efforts, each page takes a lot of time (around a weeks work) to implement - is not a quick process!

  • There are only two ratings allowed, E and T. All games of these ratings are viewable by everyone as far as I can tell.

  • It means 920k users used Construct 3, and each one of them on average used Construct 3 3.8 times in a month (3,496,000 sessions of Construct 3).

  • I guess more broadly I'm just generally curious about Scirra's plans in the long term. Construct could totally be the next Game Maker in terms of public recognition - imo it's a fantastic piece of software, and I'd love to see it get there. But it'd need a bit of a kick with marketing and brand awareness and whatnot because, as this thread and the linked article have highlighted, a lot of game devs still aren't aware of it. (Certainly from my experience of chatting with other game developers, when they ask me what I use, I always end up explaining what Construct is as they aren't familiar with it).

    It seems like marketing in general isn't something you guys are strongly focused on right now - at least in terms of new strategies and such. Is that fair to say?

    Sorry... just being a nosy marketing guy 😛 You can tell me to go away or just ignore me if I'm being a nuisance.

    Thanks for understanding :) We are working on a revamp of some of our more front facing pages coming soon which I think should help a lot.

    Marketing is a pretty broad spectrum and our product spans such a wide range of use cases it's impossible for us to address them all. We're doing a lot in education right now which will be pretty invisible for the B2C market but we're making great progress there.

    For B2C B2B markets we're not doing a whole lot of active marketing, we find it quite tricky. We experiment from time to time but nothing has really stuck. Regardless, we're growing slowly and steadily in both product usage and revenue so we're in a good place and are happy with how things are going.

    Some number we're pretty proud of to illustrate:

    • ~920k users tried C3 in 2020
    • Avg 3.8 sessions per user
    • 25 min avg session time
    • 200k new projects created in C3 monthly
    • 60k games exported monthly

    We're pretty excited with this progress, likely only a matter of time before you bring Construct 3 up and someone knows exactly what you're talking about :)
