How do I use Construct Game Services solely for back-end?

  • This is probably something that only the Construct Team will be able to help with. I would appreciate if Ashley or someone else from the team could give me some insight.

    I would like to use some of the Construct Game Services plugin's features on my app. The thing is that I have no interest in publishing my app on Construct Arcade at all.

    I'm making this app for my community and it's pretty basic. I spread pieces of codes around that the community can piece together, those that can figure out the codes put them in the app in a TextInput, if they get it right they'll be attributed a Score and show up in the Leaderboard. I was hoping to integrate a Discord login on too for a really nice seamless experience. That's it.

    Here's where the problem lies, this is for the community of my NFT collection.

    And the objective is for me to send the winners a unique NFT I personally made. But apparently can't do this even if I don't intend to publish the app on the Construct Arcade because it would fall under 18+, and it doesn't allow me to hit "Next" when creating the game. Which is pretty frustrating since I paid for the software and now can't use a feature, just because of the nature of my project, as it forces me to post the game on a platform that I don't even want to post on in the first place just to use a couple features that have no inherent necessity to be tied to the platform.

    - I guess here are a couple questions:

    1.Since the rewards are not directly attributed on the app, there's no gambling, there's no entry fee or payment of any kind in or out of the app, the reward is not monetary — the only thing about it is that it is an NFT — Can I mark it as something other than 18+?

    2.If not, could you at least change the way that Construct Arcade works, so that users whose game/app doesn't fall within the Everyone-Teen rating simply are not able to publish the game on the platform, but can still use the back-end features?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • We don't want any content in the arcade that is 18+. That's just the way we run our website and that's not changing.

    You can still use CGS in your games and publish anywhere else you want though, so I'm not seeing an issue here?

    Regarding using for back-end only, you're able to do this with our API, the full documentation is here:

    construct.net/en/game-services/manuals/game-services

    The CGS plugin is just a wrapper for this API.
