  Moved to 'How do I?'

  What error do you get?

  It may be a known bug in r105 with animations not playing properly. That specific issue should be fixed in the next build.

  Construct 2 supports exporting Windows EXEs via Awesomium in the latest releases, although support is experimental and we're working out a couple of performance issues. It should ultimately be as good as running your game in Chrome though (which is pretty much the fastest and best supported browser).

  Despite the fact Construct 2 has a HTML5 based engine, it actually has some fairly decent tools for working with data client-side. See Using project files in Construct 2. If you know how to set up a server you can also use the AJAX object to send and receive stuff to your server.

  I've no idea where you read HTML5 is insecure - have you got any links? I am confident it is perfectly secure, and modern browsers have a pretty good security record too, and issue updates rapidly if any problems are found.

  Construct 2 automatically generates spritesheets on export. There are also tools to import sprite sheets in to the Construct 2 editor.

  Hope that helps answer some of your concerns!

  Have you read all the intervening changelogs and their breaking changes?

  It would be useful to narrow it down to a specific build that broke it, because there have been hundreds of changes in the time span you describe. It might also help you to stay up to date with beta releases, so you can report breakages when they happen rather than a long time after.

  KMag - have you reported the errors you got to Ludei or us with .capxs to reproduce? It would be good if we can fix those issues so other people don't run in to them. I don't see any reason those problems can't be fixed, and I would guess it would involve a lot less effort to fix those problems than shifting to a whole new engine which is a vast amount of effort.

  kiyoshi, Arima - it sounds like an interesting strategy, but the big problem with using a new language is third party plugin compatibility. We already have a large library of third party stuff, and it's all JS designed to be run in a browser. I really want to avoid compatibility headaches where every plugin works on just a few certain platforms, since it can make it prohibitively difficult to find a reliable set of features that will work on a broad set of platforms.

  This is already supported. Look up Keyboard in the manual.

  The 2 effect limit is project-wide. If you have one effect on an object in a different layout, you can only add one more effect anywhere else in the project.

  Moved to Bugs forum.

  Are you sure you're using Windows 8 RTM and Visual Studio 2012 RTM? These are the only supported systems.

  Also, does disabling minify fix it?

  Have you also looked at the official How to make a Windows 8 app tutorial?

  Right click the animation frames pane at the bottom. It sounds like you're right clicking the animations list instead.

  I can't really see what this offers over directCanvas or CocoonJS. These platforms both support a lot more than just canvas and audio, and both have done a fair amount of Construct 2-specific optimisation and adjustments, as well as having services behind them that help make building and monetisation easier. So while it looks like a cool library, I'm not sure it's right for Construct 2.

  The manual also lists all official plugins and behaviors (in the reference sections). The Free edition contains all available objects.

  All three options (export to Android, iOS and Windows 8) should be working relatively straightforwardly without having to make changes. Can you describe in more detail what went wrong with the other platforms?
