I'm still struggling with this one!!!!!

Does anyone know of any reason why a peer joining a game late might not receive client updates? These peers are still able to send and receive messages, only the 'on client update' and 'set bit' stuff is broken. And, again, this is only for peers that join late.

Thanks Sofa_King for sharing the experience, definitely its helpful when followed correctly. Although the issue comes at investing in marketing, could you provide any example of such customer interactive spaces online. This is because i have tried doing this with Facebook pages dedicated to gaming, but the participants are mostly game developers there. For a casual game like the one in this post, i don't know any such interactive space to showcase and build an audience.

It depends on the audience. If your target audience is merely 'casual gamers' it will be far too hard for many reasons.

For the OP, he could perhaps narrow down his audience to 'Young mobile gamers in Vietnam learning English'. With a more target niche like this, he/she can then do research (go to these people and talk to them) and find the appropriate interactive spaces. Without a more targeted niche like that, he is left without much guidance and thus must use the oversaturated and highly competitive spaces like the PlayStore. Not only that, but he could also tailor his app to meet their specific needs, making his app even more appealing.

Hi Cascade Games!

Some things i've learned over the past couple years:

1. Audience: When starting a new business enterprise, focus on WHO first, because that will drive everything else. For example: Who is your target audience? Can you tell us how many people fit within that audience? Do you know, as a fact and not a hunch, where those people go to find tools like your app? These things should be rock solid before you start investing your time into something. (I am only now realizing the wisdom in this, after also putting 2 years into my app).
2. Marketing: If you dont have a following/platform to announce your newly published game, you really are wasting all that time you just invested. I think we developers like to work on the fun stuff, like adding new animations and add cool new features, but this is only half the battle. The marketing/advertising/etc is equally important as all those hours you put into Construct. Some tips in this are would be: Go hangout where your customers hang out and get some reputation there. Use Facebook advertisements as a research tool and not as a way to increase downloads.
3. Product: Is your app a 'painkiller' or a 'vitamin'? These are not my terms, but terms coined by Arvid Kahl in Zero to Sold. Anywho, I bring it up because I think its a really good way to remember this concept: We developers need to make things that actually save our users time/money/health, because these are the things that they will give us money for. We need to really fix a major pain-point in their lives. Most of us (me included) have spent hours creating a 'vitamin', which is to say, our customers can use it to make their lives better, but they can go without it if they choose to do so. This is fine in some ways, but if we have the chose between the two, and we DO have this choice, we should choose the former and not the latter.
4. Pivoting: We developers need to get better at not seeing our apps as our 'babies'. It makes getting feedback so much harder. It is something that I have gotten better at over time. The trick is to just say NOTHING and LISTEN. As Uncle Elon says, "If it needs an instruction manual, it's broken". Taking this one step further, we need to be willing to kill it if its not working, or at least drastically 'pivoting' into a new area (which we have THIS TIME done our due diligence and followed all the other things I mentioned prior to this).

I could go on, but mayhaps no one cares about these pontifications.

Any update ?

Try to turn off the Worker mode (helps me on different releases) or preloading sounds (read somewhere, helped someone)

Hiya reviver200! Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both and it didn't fix the bug.

For now I have just reverted back to the 260 stable build.

Sorry, I went back to your site and reread it more carefully. That's why I deleted my original post.

Thank you for the in depth explanation. I signed up!

I tried to preview and it locked up.

I think it probably had something to do with the change in storage.

'Failed to start preview. Try reloading Construct 3 before trying again.'

I have reloaded. I have tried in Microsoft Edge. I have tried in Chrome. I have tried changing the Android settings from legacy to http. Nothing works

Just delete it and add a new one by right clicking on the prior event.

Like Allen said, that one has been 'orphaned'. You killed it's parents. Good job.

Easiest way is to get this addon, but it is quite expensive. Definitely worth the money in my opinion though.

Agreed. This is a major flaw in the multiplayer system. If the host minimizes their game, everything stops working.
