  • this is a request for a plugin that can let us load 3d models into a canvas that we can rotate and zoom like sketchfab does, it will be really usefull, having a square that can work as a viewport to render a 3d model.

  • Mac Support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i think thats the only real reason i will buy it...

  • Why would an experienced C2 user would move to C3?

    ca someone list me any reason? im talking about the case of many people here, someone really experienced with C2 does really needs to move to C3 if they can do exactly the same?

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • a merge feature would be amazing, that would help a lot, just importing layouts by hand its a nightmare

  • Ashley

    There are two kinds of license for business : Start-up Business License, Business License, it seems that C3 is facing to team usage.

    But the workflow is the same with C2? Do you assume that there is only one developer to edit the project?

    100% agree with you Rex...

    C3 looked all the way like a team platform for developing games until now, its EXACTLY THE SAME as C2...

    i dont know if Ashley have any experience working in the game dev industry or he just work on engines but a collab feature is 100% needed, even unreal engine and unity have collab features.

    most devs dont work alone.

  • i dont see now any reason to buy C3, there is no real explanation to that license payment now, the workflow its exactly the same as C2.

  • You could even add like a permission system where you can lock certains layouts or event sheets for people

    That are working on a protect. I just can't believe that a feature like this wasn't thought since was asked so many times, seeing C3 now understanding that there won't be any collaboration feature, it's makes me go all the way back, im already used to C2 interface and pipeline and I don't see any advantage in moving now.

  • I think full-blown collaboration is a really difficult feature to use in practice. This is my example of how tricky it can be for users:

    Alice and Bob are both editing the same project

    Alice adds a Sprite

    Bob adds an event for that Sprite

    Alice presses undo

    What happens now? Does the carpet get yanked out under Bob and some of his work just vanishes? Or is Alice simply unable to undo - so a key feature of the editor is disabled? I'm not convinced there is a good answer to situations like this, and it seems like collaboration would quickly break down in to a nightmare of either being unable to change what you want, or trampling over other people's work.

    There's already a great way to organise collaborated projects - source control does it well, and you can already use that.

    There is a good answer, it's called a pop up message...man that's basic UX stuff that many browser tools

    already figured out...

    The problems you are listing are really but really easy to solve, a team working on a project are in constant communication, there can even be an implemented chat and all, stuff like "not being able to work" will never happens, there are also soooo many softwares that have collaboration features in real time even softwares for video editing.

    I will suggest you Ashley to do some research firts instead of saying no from the start, since it's not something impossible to do and that many softwares do already, all the problems you are listing are really but reaaaaally easy to solve for an UX expert.

  • The "Guest" text in the screenshots refers to the local login, not a collaboration feature.

    Wooah that's mades me go all back then :/

    Since c3 will be a browser tool isn't there an change to have a feature like that???

    Because I don't see why I would like to use c3 on any tablet or phone or anywhere else than my main computer

    If the engine is still focusing on solo development pipeline.

  • in the firts day the talked about this feature, you can even see the "guests" on the right corner of the construct 3 screenshot.

  • hi! i was wondering if we could see a post talking more in depth about the feature of having guests in our project, it is going to be like 2 or more people working in real time on a project? does the administrator of the project gives certain areas to work for the other people? like for example someone that can only edit layouts or someone that can only go to certain event sheets? it is in real time? it is like google drive? i would totally love to see a more depth talking about this topic since this is

    the main reason i will buy Construct 3.

  • It's linked to in layout properties so you can generally easily access it from a layout view. However we could always try to make it more visible. Where else do you think it could be exposed?

    BTW this is a good example of something that a CSS theme cannot change - it needs logic added to the application itself.

    i think the entire structure of the c3 interface should be really different from c2 and thats why just "moving" that option to another panel wouldnt solve the problem, it needs a new ui structure, things like not being able to work with multiple monitors or that event sheets takes horizontal space instead of vertical like real code and the shape of the events are really huge and take a lot of space, look to any adobe software or apple and compare it to construct interface and you can see its pretty old.

    yeah we can drag all the boxes to any side of the screen like in Construct2 but they will be Incomfortable to use, try to snapping ANY box to the top or down sides of the UI, they will look like they dont belong there.

    i asked about changing the ui before for C3 and thom said that with the CSS we could do more than just a color change of the themes :/
