  • What sort of performance is C3 runtime expected to have when exported cordova? Specifically on Android.

  • Well done. Can you talk about your marketing strategy.

  • There is this bug report https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/467. Unfortunately it has not been updated since July and still has a 'can't reproduce' label.

    I believe that this is a major bug. Ashley can you update us on the issue.

  • How do we add additional plugins? How about custom plugins?

  • Not one IOS or Android game is being showcased. Why not? Who is in charge of marketing.

  • This works with Crosswalk too? Where can we read more about how to do this?

    > Git, node.js, Java, Cordova and the Android SDK though involves writing dos commands. All of the alternatives, except for Phone Gap, involve writing Dos commands, dont they?

    > Also having to write Dos commands means its going to take considerably longer publish apps for testing and uploading.

    You make a .cmd file that you launch each time you wanna generate an apk:

    All the hassle is gone. I don't need to count on any online build service.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Will we be able to use Crosswalk with the C3 build service? I think it is critical.

  • Crosswalk 23 is the last Crosswalk crosswalk-project.org/blog/crosswalk-final-release.html. What is the future like for us? Webview does not work at all below Andoid 5.0 and the performance is horrible on Android 5.0+. How will we be able to create Android games?

  • Currently it is very difficult to monetize games with Construct 2. In fact it is sometimes impossible because every official monetization plugin have been broken for several years. And every bug report has been completely ignored. People are forced to use cranberry plugins which may or may not work.

    Game Center, Google Play, IAP, Ads etc… It is all still broken. If this has not been fixed in years in Construct 2. How can we be sure that it all will work in Construct 3? Especially when the price is fairly steep.

    Tom, Ashley

  • 'Load image from URL' seems to load image only once and then it reuses the same image. Any way to reload the image again?

  • Nice. What plugin have you used to share within the game?

  • 2) is a weak point, I admit - it's really frustrating how quickly the Cordova ecosystem moves and things do break regularly. It can take a lot of time and effort to fix that and balancing that with C3 development is hard. Still I want to do something about this soon to make it better.

    Will we still have to rely on 3rd party monetisation plugins such as cranberry in C3 or will monetisation plugins will be maintained? I would pay more for those plugins . What is the plan for C3?

  • I am also willing to pay $10 extra for each monetisation plugin that in continuously updated.

    Plugins like IAP, Admob, Chartboost, Kongregate...etc could all be money makers for scirra and make it easier for developer to monetise their games.

    I think this is something for Scirra to consider. I would certainly pay extra for the plugins.

  • Monetisation is a huge problem in C2 and I also feel that the developers are making a huge mistake ignoring it. There are number of reports in the bugs section (IAP, Admob...etc) and they are constantly being ignored.

    As a suggestion, the developers should charge extra for each plugin. I would be more than happy to pay for monetisations plugins as long as they are updated.
