  Usage and sales have been growing every year since we've released it. Our model is working. Closing this thread as it's been discussed to death.

  If you don't like our pricing decisions, you're welcome to look at other software.

  Please don't bump old topics, and I believe we've resolved this for you in support already? Wait times take longer when there is a weekend in between as well.

  Email tomgeu@scirra.com your usernames and I’ll import them.

  Re invalid runtime script, if you email me your zip as well I can take a look.

  raikoification if you're new to Construct, make sure to only use the latest stable releases. Beta releases can contain bugs, and are not as thoroughly tested.

  To run offline, you need to open C3 and wait for a notification to appear in the corner saying C3 is ready to use offline. If you close it before then, it hasn't finished downloading everything it needs so won't work offline. Once you see the notification, visiting editor.construct.net will work even if you are offline.

• Try Construct 3

  Make sure C3 is available for use in offline mode as it will then run all features enabled even if on the rare occasion where the website is experiencing issues.

  We identified performance degradation linked to the roll out of the new arcade (namely from significant increase in visitors including web crawlers). In response we've taken a few steps to significantly improve performance, and are upgrading our webservers to add additional capacity. From what I'm measuring, everything should be running a lot smoother now.

  Looking into this, looks like a possible Azure network problem. It seems to of resolved itself as of time of writing.

  raikoification what version are you using? The saves are not tied to our network at all as far as I am aware.

  MP3 now supported. Short description appears under game if no long description is entered. If long description is entered, is used in the meta description tag for the game.

  — yep it's gone :)

  Arcade is now in public beta, everyone can access it now live here:

  construct.net/en/free-online-games

  I've imported ~3,150 games from the Scirra arcade. The filters for this were:

  At least 1 vote (up or down) OR >= 100 players

  It has also imported all favourites, votes, comments and attachments (if any).

  When it's out of beta, will do a proper announcement in a blog post with instructions on what to do if your game has not been imported as I can do them individually.

  Updates

  - New profile page listing users games: construct.net/en/free-online-games/profile/scirra-ltd-15844

  - App store links for games

  - Fixed a host of small bugs

  - Host of usability improvements

  - Count of games/total plays now shown
