Technically its identical to the Html5 export.

I made an app for the FFos store way back, and it seemed to work fine.

I also agree with what karan316 said, but only selling in the third world countries is what killed Btg.

Third world countries? What do you mean by that?

Very interesting. But it'll be tough for a new OS to break into the market of developing countries. Since people are so crazy about Android phones and the OS is available even in sub 50 USD phones. But I hope it works, iOS is great, but I have never been a fan of Android, seems pretty unpolished to me.

I would love to see more and more websites hosting HTML5 games exclusively for mobiles. I mean there has to be something that gives tough competition to the Android and iOS stores, a website hosting premium games with a one-off payment to the devs would be awesome.

I can agree that 90% of the games in Arcade are garbage.

Scirra have just hired a new web developer, who will rebuild/upgrade the functionality of the arcade. So hopefully they can just delete some of all crap

It would be good idea to have a "premium" section, with only games rated higher then 4,5 stars or something, or classified as "quality"-game by some scirra admin

That's great news. I really look forward to it.

Plus, I think it'll be excellent if Scirra can arrange a premium section that works on both mobile and PC (Obviously the creators should make something that works on both platforms for that). And it can also help Scirra to have its own unique platform with a large fanbase, people would keep coming back if the quality of the games is great.

I don't know if this is a great idea, but is there a possibility to delete all the low-quality games on Scirra arcade and create two separate sections for PC and mobile game uploads?

Again, that would require a lot of monitoring and games will also have to be rejected if they lack quality, but a stable web platform for mobile games managed by Scirra would be pretty cool. I mean it might just become big in the future like "itch", right now it's like anyone can upload anything and that makes it tough to take Scirra Arcade seriously.

C2 has the largest community of all the 2D game engines. Despite non developing natively for mobile, if you're a beginner and you're stuck in a critical point, you have more chances to find help here than with MMF or Stencyl. At least that's my impression.

Agreed, and that's the reason why people need to create useful threads and ask for help whenever required. Repetitive negative threads bashing one single thing will not help.

Making a game that can't be published is indeed the biggest bait and switch in the gaming industry. It is not a small thing, indeed, it is everything. All the great features in the world do not make up for this one lacking area. Unless you have no intention of publishing a game, or making a dime ever in the future, this one glaring flaw destroys the whole platform for me and my friends who want to use it.

"Can't be published" is a huge statement and that is not the case at all.

I do respect your opinion, but I think it's way better to do some research and see what you are getting into rather than expecting things to be super easy. Construct delivers when it comes to making gamemaking easy for artists/hobbyists/non-programmers, and that is the most important thing that the consumers expect from the product. When it comes to publishing a game, it is compatible with some platforms and you have to work your way around to export games on the other platforms. There are so many developers who have published their Construct games on various platforms(and even made money with their games).

Tom and Ashley, I would request you to create a separate thread for "issues with mobile export(for both c2 and c3)" and delete all the other threads that people create every second day on the same topic. It's not useful at all and it makes Construct look bad. If I would checkout the forums as a newbie, the overly negative threads(on the same issue) would send a wrong signal to me.

Please cleanup the forums, I seriously think these threads are either created by people who jump to the conclusion too early or the ones who are just here to put the product down (Some dedicated users are offering constructive criticism and that's great IMO, that should be encouraged). I don't mean to disrespect anyone's opinion, but Construct delivers way more than a regular game engine for non-programmers and future users should be able to note the 9 great things that the engine offers rather than the 1 area where it lacks. The forums are seriously misleading at the moment, we don't need 500 threads criticising one single thing.

Would you please sign my petition?
