When I try to go to construct.net (or click the orange CONSTRUCT 3 button at the top of the scirra.com page), I immediately see the error below. Anyone else seeing that? (Fortunately, the version of Construct 3 on my desktop still works...)

Critical error

This should not of happened. Please contact support.

Currently pulling my hair out in Bangkok

Nicely done, I'm currently trying to do something very similar except to find actual objects on the picture already.

I used the pinch/zoom sample code, but it doesn't work as smoothly as you pan/zoom! Any tips on that?

Nicely done, now to go back and find that damned egg

Thanks for playing my game! Yeah, some of the eggs on the last levels are hard/impossible to find. I know better but I seem to make them harder every year. The best hiding spots are the ones where players think, "THERE it is! How did I not see that before?" Some of my eggs make people think, "THAT was an egg???" Not good.

I was going to experiment with pinch/zoom for mobile but I ran out of time, so I can't comment on that part. If it's not smooth perhaps you could use lerp? If I figure it out I'll let you know.

HUNT HINTS

BANGKOK:

Check the food and anything that could hold food.

SCENE 9:

Pay attention to what people are wearing.

SCENE 10: There are a couple of tough ones on the float.

We had an egg hunt for our daughter every year... for 27 years. (Even as an adult she still loved this Easter tradition!) Then, three years ago, my wife and I moved from the Seattle area, where our daughter lives, to Europe, and we thought the tradition had finally come to an end. I was sad, until I had a great idea! I used Construct 2 to make an Easter egg hunt using pictures of our old house where she grew up. Our daughter loved it!

Last year I made another egg hunt set in Disneyland, her favorite place on earth! And this year I just finished a new hunt using Construct 3! It celebrates the nine months of travel she did before graduating college. If you are interested, here's the link:

NOTES:

1. It's a big download, so give it a few minutes. (About 50 MB.)

2. There are 10 scenes and 5 eggs hidden in each scene.

3. I didn't have to time to make it work on phones / tablets, so it's PC/Mac only.

4. You can zoom with the middle mouse wheel. Then left click and hold to scroll.

5. I didn't get permission to use the images and audio, so please don't share.

6. The last few scenes are pretty challenging. (The eggs are not always obvious...)

7. If you manage to finish it, tap the screen after the congratulatory message for a... very odd... reward! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":-)" title="Smile">

This is a pretty serious problem! I worked on a new project tonight for about an hour (thankfully it wasn't more than that) and tried to save it using "Download a Copy". It looked like the save worked perfectly. No warnings or error messages. So I quit Construct 3 and went to eat dinner. After I got back to the computer I couldn't find the file anywhere. Apparently, it didn't save and I lost everything.

Just to confirm the fix for this:

1. I had to go into Chrome Settings and under Downloads I turned ON the feature: "Ask where to save each file before downloading".

This STILL didn't work because, as noted above, Chrome is apparently blocking its own popup.

2. In Chrome Settings under Advanced / Privacy and Security / go to Popups. You need to ALLOW https://editor.construct.net

[quote:3qei60gt]yeah! I didn't think it was possible but I've found some one older than me!!!! (I'm 44)

It's kind of a young man's game anymore, isn't it? (I've also been in the industry for a looooong time... mostly as a Game Designer and Producer.) I'm working on a simple word game for Facebook Instant right now, but I'm worried about my ability to get it all working. (The game part won't be a problem, it's leaderboards, social features, submissions, ad stuff, etc.) We'll see how it goes.

Every single person that has a mobile newer than five years and are interested in gaming and/oror are younger than 50 has the most recent version, always, I would say

Yeah, that may be the problem. I'm 56 years old.

Okay, I just found it. I had to update Messenger first but I can see the Games button now. (My older version of Messenger had no way to access games at all.)

This makes me wonder, though. How many people (non-developers) keep all their apps up-to-date? There was no error message or anything, when I tapped on a game in Facebook it just went to a blank screen. That's not ideal.

Unfortunately, even after updating Facebook AND Messenger on my iPhone the Games button on Facebook still gives me a "Not Available" error for every title.

To be clear, I'm NOT complaining about Scirra's plugin (I haven't even tried it yet), but the Facebook Instant Games feature itself is giving me fits. I've been so excited about this potential new market for casual games but I'm having a hell of a time getting many of the features to work. Specifically:

1. Earlier today I played some of the top games (on my laptop). That seemed to go okay, but when I tried to invite my wife to play she only got a notification on ONE of the five titles. I attempted to send multiple invites at various points throughout the day with the same result.

2. I'm probably missing something but the games don't seem very discoverable. My Facebook page has a thousand links and buttons on it, so it took awhile to find the Games link on the left side. Then I had to find the "Instant Games" link. Based on what I have been reading I thought I could find the games from within Messenger but so far I haven't been able to do that. (I'm kind of old and I don't use Facebook/Messenger much, so there's that...)

3. I thought maybe I would have more luck with my iPhone but it took me forever to find the Games button and when I tapped it I got a blank screen... repeatedly. Then it dawned on me that I haven't updated Facebook in... forever... so I did that. This time the Games List came up. Awesome. But when I tap any of the games I see this message: "Game Not Available - This feature isn't available yet". (I've tried Words with Friends, EverWing, and a dozen other titles. Same message.)

Is it just me? Is anyone else having trouble?

Have you seen Ashley's blog post about this?

(Be sure to read through the comments, as well.)

I haven't looked into the details yet, but a few days after the plugin became available (in the Beta build), Scirra announced that they added support for ads.

Congrats on the launch! I, too, would love to know more about the publishing process, if you would be willing to share.

One note. I tried the game at home on my gaming laptop and it was very slow with NO water effects. I just tried it again on my work computer and it's smooth as butter WITH webGL effects. Not sure what the difference is... both computers have dedicated gaming cards and similar setups.

Thank you! I couldn't find that information anywhere!

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I wasn't sure where else to post this question.

I'm a registered Construct 2 owner and I'd like to upgrade to Construct 3. I think I get a 50% discount for the first year (?), but I have absolutely no idea how to activate this discount. I've tried adding my e-mail address on the purchase page, I've tried logging in to the website first, and no matter what I do the price shown is the full price.

What am I missing?
