Couldn't find a way to edit my post above, but come to think of it, if one plans to use ads and IAP for their mobile game, I don't think utilizing Construct 3 for one month is a viable option as one would likely want to continue to have access to those services.

Looks like Unity it is!

Thank you. I was thinking about that as well. I've been considering switching to Unity as I know they take care of ads and in-app purchases for you. Do you know if Construct 3 offers something similar? I'm also curious if signing-up for just one month of Construct 3 is an option to launch a game and then canceling the sub (I don't see why it wouldn't be).

Or is the tooling/publishing options obsolete?

It was a minor mistake - your chat layout does not have an event sheet attached to it.

Doh! Wow, I feel like a nitwit. Thanks a lot for helping me out, much appreciated!

Augh, sorry about that. Here's a bitly link for the .capx: bit.ly/2HNpxaP. Side note: I stripped away the comments so it's easier to compare my version to the sample.

I'm using the latest stable build, r252. I went through it line-by-line and made sure nothing was missed. Here is the download link to the .cap file: drive.google.com/open ... IeP2vQ6Za6

When I run the example (multiplayer chat), it works fine. However, I created my own .cap file and copied the code line-by-line and yet it doens't work. It's identical so I'm not sure what the problem could be? My only guess is that it's some sort of firewall issue, but I don't think the example would work if that were the case. Any ideas?

Is this tool still active?
