  I heard a rumor though that those without a publisher would be required to use the win 8 store and would be limited to 3gb of ram

  At least 3GB of RAM is, well, still a pretty huge amount for a 2D game!

  Ah, you're right, good catch. Should be fixed for the next build.

  Did you only test the Android stock browser? It works fine for me on Firefox for Android, Chrome for Android, and Safari for iOS. I can reproduce it on the stock browser, but it's a really poor browser. It seems to be a browser bug and I don't know if we can work around it, I guess it just randomly fires touch end events.

  Man, the Android stock browser is just garbage. It's a bug in the browser, it simply fires 'On touch end' twice for releasing a single touch. I've fixed it for the next build. The next build might be delayed a couple of weeks due to holidays; in the mean time knowing 'On touch end' is firing twice might help you work around it, since you just need to find a way to ignore the second spurious 'On touch end' event.

  I can only reproduce an issue closing and reopening the layout, not when open for the first time. I've fixed that crash for the next build.

  This is currently by design. Any objects not in the Spriter animation are deleted when reimporting, so if anything was removed from the Spriter animation, it's also removed from Construct 2 when reimporting.

  Is this a problem for you?

  We cannot fix the bug that caused it without reproducible steps to cause the problem in the first place. I don't know how to reproduce step 2.

  Please email your project to supporthry@scirra.com and we can hopefully recover it for you, or you can try yourself by opening the .caproj in a text editor and fixing the XML.

  This should have been fixed in r139. If not, just hit 'Reset dialogs' in preferences.

  You only need to preload once. Preloading is global to the entire game, and is not affected by changing layout.

  MP3s aren't transcoded to OGG, and there are a huge number of possible WAV formats - e.g. it's possible for a WAV file to actually contain MP3 data still, so the same thing applies. You should only import 16-bit PCM WAV files, preferably at 44.1KHz, those should always successfully encode to both AAC and Ogg.

  Classic has loads of problems, and has also been officially retired. You shouldn't start using it now, just move straight on to C2, which can also export PC games to Windows, Mac and Linux (which is more than Classic can do!)

  nutmix - look at the source to the Array object. Instead of returning all the values at once, it has expressions to tell you how many values are available, and then an expression to get the value at an index.

  Conditions just return true/false directly from the condition method, and actions don't return anything.

  The best way to approach it is to design it for mobile first, then afterwards check it works OK on desktop.

  The difference is probably negligible.
