Construct 3 r411

Notes

We're continuing to work on our new Linux export option, and this week we have an update for the File System plugin. The Windows WebView2 export option can make use of special File System picker tags like "<documents>" to do things like write a file directly to the user's documents folder without showing any picker dialog or permission prompt. We've now brought the same feature to the new Linux exporter, so you can use unrestricted file access to these special folders just like any other desktop app. Note if you previously used the File (WebView2) plugin, you don't need it any more - the built-in File System plugin now has the same capability.

We've got some great new examples in this release too: there's a new demo game 'Eventide' and two more game template examples. There's also a new example showing how you can use WebGPU compute shaders in Construct, which provides a way to offload heavy general-purpose processing on to the GPU - potentially allowing massive performance improvements with certain kinds of data-heavy processing. As ever you can find these in the Example Browser in the 'new' section.

Other updates include some more improvements for the Flowcharts feature, and a bug fix for a regression in r410. Happy testing!
