  • The current situation on instant games in a nutshell:

  • Ashley Is FIG plugin planned for Construct 3? If yes, will it support rewarded/interstital ads placement and stuff like FIG-leaderboard, shared context etc?

    This will be a very very Unique Selling Point Instant games will be big for HTML5.

    If Instant Games plugin will be implemented I am going to buy a subscription.

    I had a break in construct usage, for a couple of months. Just got back and could not resist to express my C3 impressions Anyways, I love construct, great software.

    I don't have anything against the price, but against subscription as a business model for this type of software. I am using C2 entirely for rapid prototyping purposes, and there's nothing better on the market right now for this use case

    Glad you guys have healthy sales, but subscription just sucks. Think about your existing user base. I think there are not that many developers, who make money using construct. For many it's just a toy to tinker some crappy games, another use it for rapid prototyping from time to time.

    With this subscription you're just scaring off your community. There are better more user friendly ways to monetize your product for sure. And you don't know how your "cash flow" from subscriptions will look like in 1-3 years. Although I understand your intentions behind it, London is an expensive City and every one has to pay their bills and it's your product. May be one day I will not have another choice as to switch to C3 subscription

  • Thanks, yeah it's sort of global property :/, I will hack it by destroying the instance and replacing it instantly with another sprite just for visual feedback, I'll check your plugins though.

    I just made a comparison worked in C2 than switched to C3 in the browser, than back to C2. C3 feels sort of fragile and some small stuff which I was used to in C2 is gone, like the expressions window is automatically opens up in C2, and in C3 it need an extra click. Plus tons of all these 3rd party plugins.

    Overall the whole idea of subscription is a bad user experience, it scares off people. Guys, you would have sold way more copies till now for 200 - 300 € one payment + downloadable desktop, than what you have right now.

    Please consider your user also in terms of product pricing and platform. Browser based and stuff is nice, why on earth should I pay you every year? Make a base software - one time payment, new updates/modules as DLC, if you need this new functionality - you buy it for extra price.

    Free to play version of c3 is sort of alright, could be more events. Sorry, guys - bad marketing/price strategy.

  • Problem Description

    Disabling collision with a certain instance disables collisions for all the instances.

    Attach a Capx

    It should just disable collision with the one it collided with.

    • But, than Collision is disabled for all the peggles, and the ball flies through everything, which is very sad <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">(

    Observed Result

    Collisions are disabled with all the peggles, the ball flies through all the peggles <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">((

  • Try Construct 3

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Thanks!

  • With C2 it was possible with a plugin, but how to do it in C3?

    It's a bit sad, that this vital feature is still not supported officially.

  • Cool, this will be a killer feature in terms of "marketing"

  • Ashley

    What I meant could work with Scirra Arcade, but with auto-submission straight to the server with one click, an URL to the game and an ability to easily share on social media. An example would be a track upload flow on soundcloud, where it gets a distinct url, thumbnail image, FB share etc. E.g.: https://soundcloud.com/bighed/oneeighty developer nick/game title

  • If you do it everything online, than include in the price an easy way to instantly publish and share the app, but so that it stays online when you close the editor.

  • Just buy
