Just to make things more confusing, the taskbar icon seems to imply that I am signed in to my Google account.

So it does appear to be something to do with it not knowing I'm signed in:

Construct does not hold any passwords to any of your cloud services. When you log in Google gives us a ticket which construct holds on to. Whenever construct saves a file it shows the ticket to Google. If Google decides the ticket is valid then the file is saved.

This ticket is only valid for 1 hour, after that we have to ask for a new ticket. When you press the logout button we throw the ticket away.

When we need to get a new ticket we will open the Google sign in page, and wait for it to give us a ticket back. We have no control over the Google sign in page. When you type in your user name and password you are giving it to Google, not to us. We never see your password.

If your browser is already signed into your Google account the sign in page may just return the ticket to us, as you have told Google that you trust C3. Unless you are using your personal computer, with adequate password protection, I would not advise leaving your Google account signed in. Anyone using that browser will be able to view your gmail, drive files, etc. If it's a shared computer then I suggest that you use either a guest or incognito window. These will sign you out of Google once the window is closed.

Finally, on your Google account settings you can "untrust" any applications that you have granted access to your Google account.

This is the login dialog that pops up, about every 2 hours now that I timed it.

I'm using Construct3 as a separate window, if that makes a difference:

Opening App info shows:

And when I click Site settings it opens up in my browser, which I am signed into

The graphics itself

Oh I have some experience with pixel art, but I am also using Fiverr to commission artists for artwork, and some friends are helping too.

I'm saving my project file to my Google Drive and Construct 3 asks me every few hours to confirm / re-log into my Google Drive account. It's kind of a nuisance, but I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if there's a setting to say 'keep this permission for 1 year' or something...

I may have just answered my own question. Looking at the help page, I saw this:

which prompted me to check my disk space:

So I'm guessing something is happening when it thinks there should be space (279 gb?) but there isn't, and it just clears it all out.

I'm using Construct 3 in app mode (Google Chrome feature where it opens in its own window as if it's a native app.)

Sometimes, Construct 3 will have its local storage nuked seemingly out of nowhere, even while I'm using it, leading to strange issues like not being able to preview, etc. When I open the about menu I can see the local storage size is gone.

When I restart Construct 3 I have to log in again, set all my preferences and window layouts and install addons again. This has happened twice in the last day now.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the red error message saying that the browser may not persist the storage, but when I try to request it, it fails:

I've tried bookmarking the editor in my normal Chrome browser window, and I'm not sure what it means by adding it to the home page. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a straightforward way to remedy this? Thanks!

How do you manage to build this????

Which part? What's shown is pretty standard tilemaps, sprites and so on. There are some cool features put together with events that aren't standard, like the message boxes and so on. I'm happy to share about how I made certain things :)

That looks really cool. The text noises are kind of grating, though :P

Haha, a cute and fun little time waster. Seems pretty polished. Nice work :)

That's looking really good! Well done!
