Yes IMO it should be handled like I described, by default if you set the z-order of the root node in a hierarchy, then a child of that root should be in front of the root/parent and if that child has a child node then it should be in front of its parent as well.

So in short by default children are rendered in front of parents.

Then you should be able to set any node to render behind its parent (instead of the in front default), this should then update the render order of all its children too.

[edit]
One problem this doesn't solve is that of drawing order for siblings, so if a parent has 2 children how to determine which child will be drawn on top.

That looks really cool.

I saw you made several turn based games already, would you mind sharing some insights on how you setup your basic turn system?

There aren't any good Construct specific resources about these types of games.

I would like to make a turn based roguelike kind of game myself and some advice from someone with so much experience in that area would be greatly appreciated. I especially struggle with finding a good system for action points to make multiple turns, slow downs, speedups, etc. possible.

For some feedback, I did the same kind of camera movement you do, for a more action oriented dungeon crawler and got a surprising amount of feedback that the camera swaying left and right made people dizzy.

Not me though, so I can't really tell you if the same is true for your camera setup in a turn based scenario, but maybe something to look out for.

Can you go into more detail how you used PayPal or similar to do IAP in Browser games?

Obviously I know about Steam, but I'm specifically looking for browser game monetization, like directly in the browser not just browser game as the underlying technology.

Shopping website builder is an interesting idea, do you have any experience with some that would provide something similar to IAP, do they have APIs that you could hock into with Construct?

I am looking for a way to monetize browser games as well,

a way that doesn't require ads.

IAP would be a solution, did you ever find a good third-party IAP service provider, or maybe an entirely different solution?

Some actionable CA feedback:

The area used to display an HTML animation can often change in size when a browser window is resized, moved to a different monitor, a change in page zoom occurs, etc.

the drawing canvas has a long standing bug where the content of it gets deleted in these events, it would be great if this could be fixed so it is usable in Construct Animate.

lot's of angry kneejerk reactions.

Don't simply put off peoples concerns as kneejerk reaction.

Most of these concerns are based on, how Scirra has handled things in the past, and on their own concessions.

they are not just gonna drop Construct like a hot potato now.

no one said that?! It's about them having less time for the main product, not about dropping it.
