  • Thanks all - as for $500 a month not being 'money'. I disagree. I earn approx. $800 on Admob and that $800 is fun-money that is usable however way I like. For example $130 of it this month will be buying my C2 license.

    I will take a 'free' $500 per month anytime you don't want it.

  • Thanks all. I do appreciate the feedback. I'm just looking for a :

    "Yes. I make $500 per month using C2 apps" kind of response.

    Also, don't set too high a bar on C2 making money. Especially with the new Admob plugin added, I can see C2 apps generating decent income - hence my question.

  • Thanks but both links don't answer my question. Has anybody made money on Google Play with C2?

    The threads just go off into diatribes as to Unity vs C2 but is anybody making money with C2 or is it just a cool gadget maker?

  • Hello,

    I dabble writing ad-supported apps for Google Play and do make limited amounts of revenue. I average around $25 per day that is income generated from AdMob adverts running in my 'free' apps. My very-basic apps are written in eclipse and though I can throw together a simple app and drop an interstitial ad in there, I want to move to the next level and create an app with some kind of longevity (multiplayer, levels etc). C2 appears to offer a simplified way of doing that.

    After looking around the forums and using the demo I 'think' I'm ready to buy the C2 + Sprites bundle. However, though I see a lot of passion for C2, is anybody actually making money with C2, and if so, how much per day?

    I have also read of issues with lagging when creating an android APK - any tips?

    Thanks all.

  • Hello,

    I set the dogs 'Behavior - Initial State - Enabled' as I just want the dog to move randomly on app launch.

    Thanks

  • Hello all,

    I have a sprite of a dog that when it collides with other sprites 'bounces' off of them at an angle. I have the bounce working but noticed the dog may bounce off an object and be in the upside-down position on its new trajectory.

    Any ideas how to keep a spirte 'upright' when it bounce off an object?

    Thanks.

  • Thank you Cipriux - I will take a look.

  • Im late to the party but this is because Admob (Google) now, since August 1st, requires "minSdkVersion = 9" which is Google Play friendly. I had the same errors updating apps over the weekend (native android apps not CS2 apps) and had to use the '9' in the manifest xml.

  • So when the dust settles - nobody appears to have gotten interstitial ads working on Construct. I've read numerous "it should work" or "I know a guy who got it working" responses to threads but no actual first-hand experience walk-thrus.

    Looks like this myth is 'busted' -

    Thanks all.

  • Ever since I started learning Construct, I've gotten this weird feeling of it being something new that is really going to revolutionize things.

    However, I have really struggled with my skepticism around Construct not being as good as writing "pure code". Today I understood why it doesn't matter. Because at the very core coding is essentially building logic. And Construct can do that just the same, but with the joys of a graphical user interface. Construct does to coding, what Windows did to Ms Dos. The graphics make it easier to stay organized, avoid mistakes and understand complicated projects.

    Insisting that Construct is inferior to plain coding is like insisting Dos is better than Windows. In some situations that might indeed be the case. The point is that for most tasks people would rather use Windows than Dos. And for the same reasons I prefer working with Construct instead of working with plain code.

    I admire your optimism but in reality Constuct 2, though a fine product, will never replace writing native code for an app. For example, if I write an android app in native code, I can add any ad-based revenue I wish, I don't have to rely on third-party wrappers, I don't have to wait for a feature to be supported, and I can perform quick bug fixes and recompile almost instantly.

    Then as a career, I doubt you will ever see want ads for Construct 2 developers at $100k+.

    Without code there would be no Construct 2 - Like it or not, all roads lead back to code.
