Don't miss out on the latest and greatest new features in Construct 3
Notes
It's a new beta release cycle, and we have a big update for you today! First of all there is now support for audio tracks in timelines, meaning you can synchronise audio playback to other things happening in your timeline. This should be useful for anyone using timelines for extended animations, such as cut-scenes.
Also the Mobile Advert plugin now supports showing ads in web exports too, via Google's Ad Placement API. Despite the name "Mobile Advert", these work on all devices including desktop devices. This feature is currently experimental and the Ad Placement API service is also itself in beta, but look out for a forum post with more details about trying it out and let us know how it works out for you.
There's lots of other changes too, including three cool new 3D examples, various updates for mobile exports, and a range of bug fixes and other improvements. Stay tuned for more updates!
