  • I actually said that Cordova Firebase might really work since Cocoon.IO multiplayer works on Canvas+ because it is made as a Cordova Plugin. Although, I didn't test it yet, so I can't be certain.

    To be honest though, I don't really recommend Firebase that much. Unless you want to rush into making and finishing your game and avoid programming. And use the most feature-packed and available, back-end service. Then it is more than fine.

    There is GameSparks with a plugin. It is similar to Firebase but it is more focused on games unlike Firebase. There is a plugin, although it is kind of limited. So, you'd still have to code in JavaScript, to extend the limited capabilities of the plugin.

    I currently use PlayFab, although, this is purely using it through Javascript. There is no plugin for it.

    I don't think PlayFab is practical to make a plugin of. It is very volatile and might change anytime and the reference list is long just like Firebase.

    Out of all, I would recommend to use PlayFab but you are going to have to fully use JavaScript to implement this.

    There is GameSparks, nearly the same as PlayFab. And also like PlayFab, it is designed for games. We do have a plugin for this on Construct 2 but it is limited.

    So, you still have to use JavaScript to extend the features but minimally.

    But if you have little experience in programming or in a rush to develop your game. Then, Firebase is fine. Since, it have so many libraries/plugins online even a few are available on Construct.

  • I hope that this is still a major project. Considering, C3 is long out of Beta.

  • Hey, If you guys really need it that much. I have an addon for that.

  • To be honest, I wouldn't want Construct 3 to be 3D.

    That means, if it were 3D. The simple drag & drop to layout would be gone. And we'll have instead the XYZ based drag&drop editing, which is kind of counter-intuitive for 2D games.

    Unless, 2 & 3 Dimensional Editors were to be separated.

    Although, that is just the start of the problem. Realistically, maintenance would be way slower given the Construct Team is just a small team and a 3D Editor requires more to maintain and innovate.

    It's easy to think that "Wow. It's easy to use Construct 3. Imagine if it were 3D too, it would be great. " But people sometimes don't understand that the reason it is easy to use is because it is mainly made to be easy-2D in the first place.

    That's just my say on the subject.

  • Nice guide. Worth reading to. +1

  • NetOne It looks like you still haven't filed a bug report. Please report this, but if you can't, I'll report it for you. This needs to get fixed.

  • The link on your website for the official C2 manual isn't working:

    https://www.scirra.com/manual/150/manual.zip

    It says "Download the Official Construct 2 Manual (2.2mb)" but it just links back to the website. I'm going to be going on a 7 month western Pacific deployment soon and won't have internet during most of that timeframe, so I won't have a way to reference the online manual. Is this offline manual hosted anywhere else?

    Your Construct 2 application has a copy of that manual. So, you probably don't need that.

    C:\Program Files\Construct 2\manual

    Does Construct 2 have the issue where you have to connect to the internet every 7 days to verify? I can't use Construct 3 since I'm without internet 6-8 months out of the year on average.

    No. Construct 2 is an offline application, so you don't have to update or re-login every 7 days unlike Construct 3.

    The benefit of Construct 3's online subscription is that you have constant update and support for new features, bug fixes, 3rd party compatibility, technology updates and etc. This is very essential for developers who commercialize their games.

    If you don't have internet for that long period of time and maybe constantly travel and/or are on remote places. Then, I assume you don't make commercial games and do this mainly as a hobby. Then, I do think and recommend you go with Construct 2.

    I remind you though that Construct 2 is 1.6x more expensive than it was before. And also, it is outdated and Construct 3 was made to replace Construct 2.

    Construct 3 :: $99.00 per year.

    Construct 2 Before :: $120.00. One-time payment.

    Construct 2 Now :: $199.00. One-time payment.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • This seems great. Does this support c3runtime?

  • I use Firebase Authentication for Construct 3 but for you to use it, wouldn't that just be like using spare parts in building a car.

    Unfortunately, we don't have a Google Plus plugin for Construct 3. And I'm not even sure if there's one for Construct 2 either.

    — - we don't mind discussion of competitors, but telling people to go and use different software on our own forum is a step too far. Please refrain from making such posts.

    Ohh, sorry about that. Construct 3 is excellent for startups though.

    And all of that are true.
