Notes

This week's beta release is mostly a maintenance release with a variety of bug fixes and other miscellaneous updates. However there are some further improvements for managing hierarchies with templates, allowing more control over how templates propagate changes in hierarchies to replicas. There's also a new example making good use of flowcharts. As ever there's more on the way so stay tuned for more updates!

Like this Release?

Let us know with a thumbs up!

  • wow, awesome stuff!!

  • the only thing missing for construct 3 to be the best engine today is to add support for animated 3d models

    • and shadow and 3d light also

    • I think there much more core and useful features that can be worked on (render masks, for example)

      This engine is obviously not meant for 3D and wont have sufficient set of futures for that. Its cool to have some basic features, but that's it. And it would be sad if instead of improving main 2D part already small team of devs would spend more time on 3D (and it will definitely take tons, TONS of time to have even some basic 3D features other engines have)

  • Dictionary: CurrentValue expression could return 0 instead of ""

    This is huge!!

  • Add IRuntime properties 'sampling', 'isPixelRoundingEnabled'

    Probably a small change most people wont notice, but I adore any change that enriches JS API, thanks!

  • something went wrong after latest stable relase, i receive black screen after preview my 3d game in this relase too

  • Love,Fast fix fast update, Thank you.

  • Me too, actually, I just check it to see if it was added 3d.ojb import model, no to complex games I think something more like ps1 or N64 games, it would be a dream
