  Thanks Ashley!

  I'm not sure how to run it from terminal. (Also just as a heads up your tutorial doesn't say how to do run the game either construct.net/en/tutorials/exporting-desktop-apps-nw-js-15) Maybe Linux is just not supposed to be user friendly.

  But yeah it seems really messy, or tedious, attempting to make builds for non-Windows systems unfortunately. Perhaps it's just not really possible.

  How do I run my exported NWJS game on Linux?

  I put my exported Zip onto Linux Mint (I'm new to linux, but this one feels like windows) and when I extracted it, the [project name] file does not have a file extension, so how do I run my game?

  On windows, the file has an .exe which lets you run the game. But why is there no extension at all on the linux version? What am I supposed to do next?

  Thanks!

  Maybe these features should also be requested here officially?

  This is impossible to do privately, they've removed the feature to send a personal message to someone.

  The best way for you to do this is to create a post on the forum and mention the user that created the asset.

  For instance if I do the (at) symbol with your name it will alert you keshera

  I know Ashley is worried about going too far with 3D features, but there's still some additional 3D features that would fit this kind of engine (e.g. the repeating textures, spinning an object, or tilting the perspective/camera).

  You could almost do a mode7 type effect now with the 3d shape object?

  Yeah repeating textures, like how we have the tiledBG, could be useful for things like the ground etc.

  There was no comment about it on the latest release construct.net/en/make-games/releases/beta/r243

  But perhaps it could still be coming in a beta release soon.

  My game isn't really functional without being able to read files from disk, so I hope that stays in the future!

  Fantastic!

  Could the WebView2 auto-update feature ever break games? I think I remember some versions of NWJS breaking stuff with updates, like you never know if the updates is going to be a harmful one or not, so I'm glad that when you export with NWJS it doesn't change version automatically!
