Ashley If https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/scripting-51/loading-sprites-image-url-177628 is the only option, well, let's not mention that finding this necessary information for this is extremely difficult. The illogical design lacks clear official documentation, and guidance is hard to access. For general issues, I rely on your articles and replies to solve them. How can I convince other community developers to build networked projects based on C3? Aside from unclear guidance, the logic of C3 itself is unfriendly for networked and extensible projects. For example, this year's MP plugin can send a large amount of data—have you thought about what that data is used for? We need a "convenient and user-friendly" way to adopt this external data. Now, practically all core aspects like databases and communication have been implemented using my own JS. If I also have to complete the image part using "modern 2025 definitions of data for blockchain-level development," then Construct 3 becomes my big whiteboard for pasting and managing a bunch of code, a JS IDE? Now it’s like a movie theater poster and ticket telling you about unlimited possibilities, but that's not the case. Most of C3's features are outdated and impractical due to numerous limitations, it doesn’t allow for deep development like during the era of C2.
My minimum acceptable standard is that images should have a user-friendly import feature; C3 display engine is my reason for using C3. Otherwise, if C3 becomes just a big whiteboard for pasting code, people won't need to pay you anymore. A company's capabilities cannot match an open environment, and eventually, someone will copy your inventions and improve it then
My original goal for the project was to bring W3 development into schools, teaching kids how to develop interactive web games using JUST C3—not meaningless scoreboards, but truly decentralized and interaction with data. But now, just thinking about i have to write an article (i don't want it) to teach kids gives me a headache. what i want is just a C3 sample project then everyone can make game on it, but now transforming the received data into materials for their games seems like a terrifying process. If I’ve already implemented all this with custom JS, then what’s the value of using C3? Construct itself is an excellent tool that is friendly to schools; I just want anyone to be able to use the decentralized mechanism I developed through C3, making game development more accessible. Why is it so difficult? Why are there so many restrictions?
Please, can we have an easy way to import images?
