  I don't think node-webkit supports this. Why not make an installer with a desktop shortcut if you're worried about people not finding the game?

  See troubleshooting Construct 2's preview server

  I don't know much about hosts files, but yours does look very strange - there are an awful lot of 127.0.0.1 entries.

  WebStorage works offline, works on all platforms, and is permanent. It is *not* saved in the browser cache; it's permanent and immune to the user clearing their cache. (I don't know why everyone assumes it saves to the cache!)

  There's also good support for full-state savegames and the node-webkit plugin allows writing to disk when a desktop application.

  Seems to work fine for me on Windows 8 64-bit. Are the system's graphics card drivers up-to-date?

  The node-webkit plugin in r130 is pretty straightforward. Do you have any specific questions about it?

  Construct 2 automatically removes one set of files if the target platform support is known in advance. For example if you export a Windows 8 app, it skips the .oggs, and if you export a Chrome Web Store packaged app, it skips the .m4a. So this should be handled automatically so you don't need to delete any files yourself.

  If it's just webkit and not a real browser engine it probably sucks. By default WebKit alone doesn't give you WebGL, hardware accelerated canvas 2D, Web Audio API, WebSockets, etc. etc...

  If it was based on Chromium instead, for example, you'd get all of that, but WebKit by itself is pretty poor for games.

  We would have to overhaul large and complicated parts of the engine to allow nested families, so I'm afraid right now I'd say it's very unlikely we'd take this on. Hopefully it's possible to workaround by duplicating variables in families.

  roxflame - you don't need families for your example, you can work around it with 'Pick Nth instance'. Instance 0 will be the first colliding instance and instance 1 will be the second, then you can handle each separately in subevents.

  Closing, please follow the bug report guidelines. Construct 2 has full support for alpha transparency.

  It's almost identical to running your game in Chrome, so there's nothing really to document about it. You can use the new node-webkit plugin to access files, though.

  We need the exact steps to reproduce the problem otherwise there's virtually nothing we can do.

  Debug mode is slower because it includes all the debug checks for development. Try running it in Release mode or as jwh1981 suggests, directly from the Start screen.
