  • The new demo games this year have been amazing! Compliments to the chef!

  • Love it!

    Now can you add database system into construct leaderboard? so we can store their progress and create a fully online games!

    I wouldn't mind to purchase this kind of services!

  • I wish they would improve the physics by sorting collisions by ID or layers

    • What if I told you I am currently developing a custom behavior to handle collisions between instances of the same object type that works with the Physics, Platform, Solid and Jump-thru behaviors? 👀

  • Please add action "paste object(by name)" in DrawingCanvas object

  • How do you add local folders to the asset browser? When I choose local assets and click the + sign, it just changes the source back to Store Free bundles.

    Love the addition though, excited to get it working.

  • Can you upload the CGS Auth providers.c3p and Back face culling.c3p to the example browser?

      These will be in the next beta release - sorry, they didn't quite make the cut for this release!

      • I think these "Feature examples" are very helpful for beginners, they are minimal prototypes of something. but they only appear in the stable release video and are not uploaded to the example browser. I strongly recommend that you add previous examples as well.

  • The new Asset Brouser is really fantastic, a great addition. It is a truly valuable and very useful resource that makes Construct 3 much more engaging and user-friendly for all users. Thank you very much.

  • Good job to all the construct devs. I never thought anything this advanced would be added to the engine. I will be using some of the stuff in this update all the time. Good job. Itchio support it crazy {{:

  • An option to invert the 3D shape's normals would work very well with the new backface culling option.

  • That is absolutly banger update !

    Oh, jsut got an idea for the assets browser. possibility to add local folder ? :)
