Hi everyone, sorry for the delays with the upcoming new addons. We're still currently working on a new website for the collection to better document the new addons and their tutorials. Afterwards, we should be able to finish and release the new addons.

Also, I would like to announce that we will be removing the website chat payment service and its discount promo, effective September 03, 2021. However, we will still keep the support channel active.

Thanks for the update! Is there any chance to get the Mobile Billing update earlier since it's a requirement to publish new games on Google Play.

Hey,

1000x500px is still huge but if that's only 1 background you can also keep it. For resizing just check on a high end device if it's still looking acceptable. If you use pixel-art I guess you can use a lot smaller images.

I had a lot of ui designed in like 1 big image... splitting this to all single elements reduced the memory usage a lot, since big images take more memory in ram. Also then I could reuse a lot of those images on other parts in the game. Also I had some big (1200x700px) black-transparent "popup-bgs" which I resized to 50x50px tiles. So best practice here is to check your biggest images if they are really necessary or if you can split them and reuse parts of it (tilemaps maybe).

A lot of small images / tiles is a lot better than having only a few big images / tiles.

Hey,

here some tips: In the "Project bar" go right click on the project name, then "tools" -> "view project statistics". There check this sentence: "Estimated peak memory usage is..." For mobile games you should try to keep it around 150 MB or less. I don't recommend to go above that because then you will have especially older / cheaper phones / tablets which can't handle the memory usage.

If that's not the point in your case, here is another problem with images I had: Please check if you have any tiled-backgrounds which are very small (1x1px) and scaled up to fit the whole background or anything like that. This will let the game crash on specific phones / tablets (this has nothing to do with how good the phones are, but this error appeared only on some phones and there every time...).

Also check if you have any tiled-backgrounds which are completly transparent (so no image is shown, it's just a transparent file). This will also cause these crashes.

Hey,

thanks for the help! I know that it's possible to get this token with the C3's GooglePlay Addon but I forgot how... Maybe it's possible with the "googleplay.asjson" or something like this.

Maybe Ashley you can confirm that and also maybe add this to the manual.

Thanks!

Hey,

just one question: After GooglePlay sign in (from C3's GooglePlay Addon), how do I get information like auth-token etc. to do a server authentication? Didn't found anything in the manual.

Thanks for the help!

Hello,

I'm using the default C3 Browser addon to override the "mobile back button" on android:

"On mobile back button pressed -> CallMyFunctionAndNotCloseTheApp"

This works fine, but only if I first minimized my app with the phone's "menue button". After that I can press the phone's "back button" and it calls my function like it should.

But if I open the app and press the phone's "back button" before minimizing with "menue button", the "back button" closes the app.

How can I prevent this?

Thanks for help!

matrixreal: you need to do this on your device / phone and this setting depends on your device, so just ask Google how to clear app data from an app on your device.
