Don't miss out on the latest and greatest new features in Construct 3

Notes

In this release we've done some work on the editor user interface. Most significantly, you can now pin most editor bars, which collapses them to a tab along the side of the screen and shows then in an auto-hide mode. For those of you who remember Construct 2, it had the same feature, which came with the UI library we used; now particularly with the introduction of the Asset Browser we felt it was a useful addition to help manage all the editor bars in Construct 3. While working on the editor UI we made a few other tweaks such as adding dock indicator icons and moving settings buttons out of window captions and in to toolbars instead.

The Construct Games Services plugin now also automatically refreshes sessions before expiry, ensuring long-running sessions stay valid. For example if you set a session expiry of 5 minutes, previously features would stop working after 5 minutes; now providing you stay online, it will automatically refresh your session so you can keep using CGS features indefinitely, renewing the session in 5 minute increments.

Finally we have a few other adjustments, updates and bug fixes noted in the changelog. Happy testing!

  • Hello dear Scirra Team,

    Speaking of the editor user interface ...

    It would be great if we could freely rearrange all event sheets in a project. In the same way we can rearrange the layouts. Currently event sheets are sorted alphabetically by default and can not be changed.

    For larger projects, I often want to move them in my own order.

    We can add subfolders, yes. But it still feels like a missing feature.

    So far, it's great software, thanks.

  • Great to see auto-hide making a return, in C2 I was always using it for the Tilemap editor.

  • I LOVE the pinned bars with auto-hide. It's going to make my workflow so much more convenient being able to easily access bookmarks and Find References.

  • How does this affect Grêmio?

    About the update, very good! 👏🏼👏🏼

  • Personally, I would like the users of the free version to have more events. I'd say 50-60 tbh.
