it's March and I'm already waiting since January

April or rather May?

thanks for info

sqiddster

how is your game running on i.e. CocoonJS?

I'm just curious

the issue is that progress bar or loading percentage were working in the past;

so C2 apps showed progress bar or loading percentage,

but now it's not showing it anymore... just black screen

so there are 2 options:

a) Ashley changed something in Construct 2

b) ludei changed something in cloud compiler

I don't know who, but it would be nice if it could work again

gonzdevour

remove all not used graphics,

and if possible - downsize graphics images

in my case, after a few changes, I changed 11-12 seconds loading time

into 3-4 seconds loading time

ludei

Canvas+ in Cordova project = WOW

but you could also look into issue mentioned by gonzdevour because Ashley will not do anything about that.

And black screen is ok for 3-4 seconds, but longer time can cause negative reactions So it would be nice if progress bar or % could work again.

that's the paradox of Scirra:

jittering Crosswalk is terrible for any serious games,

but CocoonJS was the "bad boy" who was deprecated,

lol

ludei

Congratulations!

Soo...

now we have to wait for

a) updated plugin for Construct 2

b) possibility to use it in CocoonJS cloud with Canvas+/Webview+

and it may take a few weeks (?) so nothing changes for C2/CocoonJS users

" if you create a cordova project" - the issue is that users of jittering Crosswalk already can use native ads. The real deal is CocoonJS (which works much smoother than Crosswalk) with native ads.

Ashley

so what approach would be the best for i.e. big platformer level,

with i.e. 100 enemies, each with "Platformer behavior"?

you can make great game with Construct 2 but you have 0% guarantee that it will work well on any platform;

and 99% issues are because web browsers are not created for playing advanced games. That's why we have situations like jittering Chromium (and then Node-Webkit and Crosswalk). That's why C2 games usually use only 1 CPU core.

And if you will have any problems - just can just report the bug to some 3rd party company and wait for their mercy. And loose a few months waiting for bug fixing.

That's why Construct 2 is a wonderful toy, but it's not a professional game development tool.

You can ask ludei if you have any issues with CocoonJS

or wait for better Chromium if you have any issues with Crosswalk

What exporter did you use?

ludei

it makes me sad when I see how many ad impressions I'm loosing without native ads

anyway I will wait...

because I don't have other option...

and jittering Crosswalk is not good alternative

ludei

anything new about native AdMob ads?
