  • It depends on the platform.

    Desktop, sure.

    Mobile, webgame, not so much.

    It depends on the assets more than anything else.

  • Like potions. Small, medium, large. And alchemedic possibilities as well. Two antidotes plus a potion equals an either.

    Small potion= 10 hp

    Medium potion= 20 hp

    Large potion= 50 hp

  • An interesting mechanic might be that you have to keep the item strengths within a usable range.

    You have to combine enough to cover what's necessary. Quality over quantity.

    Then again you would want to also keep the strengths low enough to not be a waste, or of such a high value that they would be refused so that they would be available for the "last boss".

  • Set it to put the backups in a Dropbox, Gdrive, or Onedrive folder.

    Construct doesn't do anything to files, its either some other software, or hardware.

  • Match 3 mechanic ala Triple Town maybe?

  • Might want to read the licensing. There's a point where you have to declare yourself as a business.

  • _Yep.

  • The only time you have to worry about that is when you reference objects that are not associated with the current layout. You would get a notification that it can't do that anyway.

  • Nope.

    All that matters is what's in the events, and their order.

  • I can attest that it does work at least for mobile type "playables".

    I can't say a whole lot about it, but the company I've worked for said that they choose Construct because the runtimes are exceptionally small compared to other frameworks, including other game engines.

    Really what better way to advertise a game than being able to play it in the space of an ad?

  • It's still a bug, so if you can replicate it minimally you should make a bug report.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Construct is primarily a game engine so there hasn't been much of a push for features related to "creatives" even though it beats just about all existing frameworks made for ads already... except a few features like the one you are asking about.

    That being said it should be possible to embed the uri strings into variables, or other means, but you have to take size into consideration.

    Svg might be a better approach, but that file type hasn't really gotten the attention it deserves in Construct. To be honest adding some things is often easier said than done.

    Then you still have to get the runtime embedded into the html file.

    That would require a fair amount of elbow twisting of the developers.

    Any way I am curious as to how well this has worked out so far.

    Sharing your success stories might actually grease the wheels for adding these things as well.
