    Thank you for getting back to us.

    Would love to have some updates on Admob (new Rewarded Ads), Chartboost not working, Adcolony updates

  • Thanks radbrothers and

    My update is online on Windows store

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p ... zdncrfjl0g

    Please try it out and let me know if you can access it as well.

    Clicking 'FreeCoins', during gameplay clicking Free Ammo and Revive will play a Video ad

    After about 60 Seconds of gameplay when you reload level or click main menu icon the fullscreen Interstitial banner shows up.

    Don't forget to leave a nice review(really need it) <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

    PS:I got rid of banner ads.

    I have "enhanced" the pubCenter plugin to show the newly introduced "Banner Interstitial" by Microsoft Ad SDK!!! It works perfectly fine my my test environment. I am publishing an App update today to the store. Will let you know when its up and works fine.

    I will write an article and share the new Plugin with whole C2 community soon!

    Now wit my enhanced pubCenter plugin, you can show 1. Banner, 2. Rewarded Video Ads and 3. the newly introduced Interstitial Ads (called banner Interstitial by MS)

    Ashley , I have thoroughly tested the plugin, if we get a positive feedback from other members, I think you can release my update officially!

  • AaronSmithUK

    Thanks for the help, it worked for me. I was able to test it.

    I also copied your fix into the IAP plugin itself, now I dont need to copy paste the code everytime I export!

    Do you have any games on WIndows or any store? Would love to check them out and giving my rating as token of appreciation.

    My (small) bit to support a fellow dev

  • AaronSmithUK

    Thanks for the fix man! My project is working and not crashing anymore.

    But how to I make use of the "WindowsStoreProxy.xml" file?

    Where should I place it in the VS project folder?

    Do I have to add all my store IAPs into this file?

    Any help would be really great, I am only stuck at this point, everything is working well. FOr some reason C2 wants to make our lives miserable. Every update to our game is a nightmare!

  • We have a set of new plugins in development for IAP & ads. It can be incredibly difficult to make fully cross-platform versions though - for example many ad networks only support 2 or 3 platforms, whereas Construct typically supports far more. This is compounded by regular changes to every platform as they change and update their SDKs. It's tough but we are working on new plugins which should be more reliable.

    Thanks for responding Ashley! I understand its difficult to make fully cross platform. However, would be great if we can have common Plugins for existing major platforms on C2 (Android, iOS, Windows).

    The underlying code will be independent (say pubCenter, Admob), but there can be a Parent plugin will that based on the current platform pick the right plugin and execute the feature. That way, we as developer do not have to worry to had separate versions for each platform or have a projects with 100s of IF conditions to check if I should run PLUGIN 1 or 2 or 3.

    Basically suggestions was to have these broad Plugins:

    1. Ads - Admob, Windows Ad SDK (and may be Adcolony, Appodeal)

    2. IAP - iOS, Android, Windows (with Consumables)

    3. Leaderboard - iOS, Android, Windows (may be Xbox)

    4. Social Media - Facebook, Twitter and Google+

    I hate to compare, but Cranberrygame has managed to combine multi platform features into single Plugins. I hope its something your team can look into

  • It not just about writing new Plugins from Scratches. We need single plugin for every type of feature, Ad, IAP, Leaderboard etc.

    I am fed up of having 1000s of IF condition to use a particular feature. I am forced to mintain different versions for iOS (Game Center plugin & Admob, Cranberry IAP), Android(Google Play & Admob, Cranberry IAP) and finally Windows (Pubcenter, Offical IAP and no leaderboard!)

    This is teh issue I have brought up in my new Topic:

  • Hi Ashley and Tom,

    Sorry if this has been addressed already (as I couldnt find)

    Been using C2 for almost 3 years, I only have praises for you guys at Scirra. However, my experience with your Plugins have been the worst! I am spending more time, creating and maintaining separate versions for each platform to support a certain feature thats not available due to limitation of certain plugins (eg:IAP's consumable option).

    This forces many of us to look for third party Plugins(eg: Cranberrygame)

    I am mainly concerned about your Ads, IAP & Achievements (game center & Google play) plugins.

    Will C3 have single universal Ad plugin that will support, Google, iOS and Windows Ads ?

    Will there be a single plugin that again support's IAP for all above platforms? Or do I need to again maintain versions for every platform?

    Will we have a plugin that has both Game center & Google play features wrapped in a single Plugin (like Cranberrygame's Game plugin)?

    How about Social Media plugins? Will C3 have single plugins for popular Social media sharing features like FB, Twitter & Google+?

    Same goes for Game Analytics.

    I really hope you are considering the above features to make Developer's time and efforts to be more productive!

    Just to give you a glimpse of how messed up our project can become due to these plugins:

    Now I am forced to maintain different versions for:
    iOS (Game Center plugin & Admob, Cranberry IAP), 
    Android(Google Play & Admob,  Cranberry IAP) and finally 
    Windows (Pubcenter, Offical IAP and no leaderboard!)[/code:1loycl13]
    
    (Pssst: This is a major factor for me to upgrade to C3  )
  • Guys/Gals, Is cranberrygame really responding to all our issues? I haven't seen a response in ages!!

    Or maybe Ashley , Tom & Kyatric should just disable this Asset until he responds. You cant continue selling plugins that dont work. I understand you dont want to support, but why sell things that dont work?
