  • Ah yes I forgot just how powerful paster is!

    For what you need, I think drawing canvas has some quirks that will be annoying or stop you entirely - I can't remember exactly, but I think if you change the size of the drawing canvas, it clears the drawing canvas image.

    There's usually always an alternative method to achieve what you need though, I wonder how people using C3 achieve 2 player splitscreen... Hmm...

  • I miss "crop" mode in C2, but there is a way to sorta recreate it with events, using the Browser "On Resized" along with the system "Set Canvas Size".

  • Does the official "Drawing Canvas" plugin do all the things you need?

    I remember worrying about the lack of Paster and Canvas when moving from C2 to C3.

    But drawing canvas works well for me, I use many of then in my project for pretty visual FX.

  • Websites are fairly cheap these days, might be worth getting one if you're aiming to publish games to make money.

    You might be able to find a free website like Wix or something.

  • If money is the main deciding factor, then maybe construct 3 isn't suitable for you.

    If game dev is a hobby to you, then consider the fact that many people put some form of money into their hobby - Game devs are lucky that we can get away with a somewhat cheap computer that lasts for years, and we could choose to use game dev software that is free - hardly any costs at all for a hobby you might spend months and months on! But as I said, it's generally normal for people to put some money towards their hobby, so it's not "bad" to pay for a software licence or a subscription when there's free alternatives - it all depends on your financial situation.

    If you are doing game dev as full time work and have no other form of income, then depending if you have some money available, then I'd say Construct 3 is a good option for a few reasons, such as the support (you have literally all Scirra staff, such as the lead programmer and web designer and everything, answering questions on the forums and providing support, as well as the community providing help). Also C3 updates very regularly, usually every week depending on holiday season and such, so if you encounter a bug, and you report it clearly, then this could be fixed within a week or two depending on how complicated the bug is, which is great service! Plus all the extra features that get added, Construct 3 is constantly evolving.

    I use Construct 3 in my free time after my day job, not a high paying job but enough to afford a few subscriptions per month (e.g. Spotify and Construct 3). I hope to eventually generate money from what I create, but as of now, I'm happy paying, as I really like how the software functions and the service that Scirra provides.

  • What is the workaround in Unity?

  • Yeah it seems extremely challenging to figure out.

    I have 1 idea, which keeps with the same platform you are using now.

    What if once a month, something from the top 20 or 30 suggestions could be implemented, and in the update page, it could be specified that the feature was added "as suggested by the community".

    After adding, maybe the suggestions can be reset monthly, which would make sure votes are always recent, and not some abandoned vote from a few users 4 months ago.

    This could give Scirra the choice to cherry pick something that Scirra agrees with, but also Scirra can pick something that is doable alongside other features that you guys are currently working on.

    This might get people more engaged with the sub platform, as they'd get excited when they see on the update page that a community suggestion was able to get into C3, and the sub platform would be blank after this, fresh and ready for everyone to post ideas (or repost their old idea since they're so eager for it).

    I'm not sure. I really like the idea of being able to influence C3 though, as many others likely do. I wonder what could be tried.

  • I do like some of these, but generally suggestions go onto the suggestions graveyard platform (there's a sticky post here) .

    Ahh I joke, Scirra do look at the suggestions platform, but I do wish there was a more engaging way for suggestions to be handled.

  • It may be good to get a website to have a reliable link to your privacy policy.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Perhaps next update which might be next week.

    You could go back to the latest stable version if your build is urgent, but you might need to fiddle with your project file to backdate it to work with the latest stable.

  • No prob, I'll do that next time.

    Thanks!
