  • Great idea but pubCenter in my experience has not been too great. Low fill rate. It could be just me. AdMob is a lot better in terms of usability. The pubCenter website for managing your ads is pretty bad.

    That said, I have only tried banner ads with pubCenter with Construct.

    Ye s I totally agree! It's very bad with fillrate.

    I attend the Microsoft Build Conference in June. I directly asked the Speakers what they are doing about it? That's where they told me about video ads and also told me they are changing ways in which ads are filled. With reach of Windows 10 on all kind of devices the ad quality will also improve.

    So I m hoping windows 10 will do it right.

    Best thing is..same logic will be implemented on windows 8 too

  • Fellow devs.. if you agree with this request.. kindly respond

  • Congrats on all the downloads! That is impressive. : )

    And Thanks you sharing details too.

    Thank you and You are most welcome! Please download, play, rate and share your feedback

  • Thanks SamRock , thanks for your time in the inputs, I appreciate it.

    And it is great to see your downloads. I hope you are making good revenue in ads,

    Thank you,

    Well not really. Most of my downloads were from countries where the Ad quality and revenue is very low

    Eg: From Philippines I used to get about 1000s of downloads, so even when 25 people click an Ad, that used to get translated into a meagerly $0.1

    For some reason, Google never shows my game on US/Europe markets even when it has been performing very well.

  • That's awesome! It's always nice to hear numbers like this. I wish you success in future games too.

    Thank you so much for that!!

    I wish you the same

  • UPDATE

    :

    Check out my Tutorials on how to add new Windows Interstitial ads to your WIndows game

    https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/9555/p ... titial-ads

    Dear Ashley and Tom,

    Firstly thanks to you and your team for working really hard to bring us the latest and greatest updates. We all love them!!

    I hope what I am asking is not huge.

    As you know Windows 10 Dev SDK is officially rolled out with numerous new monetization features on PubCenter.

    * Video Interstitial

    * Ad Mediation for Windows (earlier limited to phone only)

    * IAP

    I wanted to know if Scirra has any plans to bring in these new features into pubCenter too along with the Stable Windows 10 update for C2?

    We read reports of 24 million users Worldwide having already migrated to Windows 10! That's a HUGE userbase.

    Thus I sincerely request you to implement these features and help us Devs make our apps more successful on Windows <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • I wonder if is possible to use Phonegap IAP with Amazon and Windows or I need to use another plugin for this? Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately its not possible!

    I have to maintain two version for Android (phonegap) and Windows (official IAP)

    Now creating third one for Amazon(Phonegap Admob and Official IAP)

    How'd you manage to get so much downloads? I mean, did it just become popular on it's own?

    Yes, it did!! I only did little bit of Facebook and Twitter promotions. Within few weeks it exploded into 1000s of downloads

    Secret Pro Tip: Use as many languages as you can in the Store Listing

  • Frankly I havent tried amazon yet. But a friend of mine (creator of Hungry Hal) said Admob works on Amazon since its all Android platform in the backend.

    However, I tested my APK on the Amazon App tester, and it didnt have any issues with the Admob plugin. It only said I cant use Google IAP plugin. I now need to create another version to use offical IAP plugin only for amazon

    Also, I heard video ads like Adcolony and Chartbooster will work too But I cant confirm

  • SamRock any video tutorials on exporting with xdk. My only feeling is that xdk is slower. Even the newer version seems slower,

    You should checkout my Isometric (2.5D) game,(link in signature). Its very fast paced and runs smoothly on most phones.

    I dont have any videos for that

    But I believe there are many articles here explaining How its done. On an high level, you export to Cordova->Open XDK->New Project->Import HTML5->Select your exported path.

    Most plugins (admob, IAP) will be automatically added by XDK.

    Then in Project setting you define, the APK properties like version number, App name, description etc.

    After all this, directly goto Build and create your APK

  • I prefer XDK as it works seamlessly with Admob (all type of ads) and also many other Ad plugins.
