  • Wow, great timing! Lovely, gonna try the signals today!

  • Ow... It seems the "old" projects with objects using an instVar named "tags" are not openning anymore. =(

  • Hello,

    I ve seen a message about iphones issues.

    Same issue here with the new stable release, when i remote preview my project it keeps a black screen now.

    I've pushed a HTML5 build to test and that's the same.

    I opened the same project in 397.2 and it worked well.

    I ll make more test to be sure it s not on my side before making a report

    After updating to version r407, I also encountered issues with remote previewing on iOS devices. Another member of the C3 community experienced the same problem. We tested the playback issue on real iPhones 7, 11, 12, and 14, as well as on the iOS device emulator. We concluded that the issue depends on the iOS version: if it's 16.2 or older, the remote preview works, but if it's a newer version, we get a black screen of "Malevich".

  • I'm going be real I don't even know how to use any of this stuff

  • How many iOS phones now don't support this release? First I checked on my phone and the game didn't work. Then I checked on browserstack and out of 15 options, even an empty project opened only on the two most recent versions of the iphone. Why?

  • Please add a negative height for 3d objects

  • Looking forward to exploring and learning the new features! Thanks for the amazing work Scirra team!

  • A lot of amazing additions in this release, thanks!

  • Built-in plugins have disappeared: sound, touch and Browser.
