Notes

It's another week and another beta release! This week's release includes a range of new scripting APIs (useful both in Construct projects and for the SDK), as well as adding the ability for third-party addons to use project file properties and parameters. There's also a couple of usability improvements, notably for the new spritesheet import dialog, as well as the ability to now search by UID in the debugger.

There's also a big batch of bug fixes, and we're pleased to also include two new examples: firstly a new demo game Avalanche, a 3D retro-style platformer, and also Hero attributes demonstrating the use of mesh distortion. Happy testing!

  • Great update, digging the scripting and sdk additions!

    After reading poeditor update I got excited about an improved script editor (monaco)... but I guess it didn't make it into the update yet?!

    Thank you for the 1x1 patch brush :)

  • "Debugger: allow searching by UID" yes!! Awesome! No more weird work-arounds to find this info 😁

  • Cool update! I see quite a few SDK related feature requests implemented. Also the debugger UID search is super useful!
