Construct 3 Adding JavaScript Support - xSicKxBot - 05-24-2019 Construct 3 Adding JavaScript Support Scirra announced today that they will be adding JavaScript language support to their currently codeless cross platform game engine, Construct 3. We did a hands-on video on Construct 3 shortly after it was released, and the lack of scripting support was one of my biggest complaints. Details of the new scripting support from the Construct blog: Quote:We are well aware that not programming has been central to the design of Construct since Construct 2. We know many of our users will have chosen Construct specifically for this reason. Some may even have no intention of ever using coding. We’re still committed to this approach and also fully intend to keep developing features for events. So why are we doing this? Details about price: Quote:Once we’re ready to launch it, the scripting feature will be sold as a separate add-on for Construct. However anyone who’s ever had a Construct 3 subscription – of any kind, past or present – will get the scripting add-on for free, for life, at no additional cost. Currently this still applies to new subscribers too, so if you want to use the feature and have been thinking about subscribing, you’ll save money if you subscribe now! We’ll announce the cut-off date for this offer in the near future. Details about the timeline: Quote:We are aiming to have an early version of the scripting feature in the next beta release of Construct some time in the next couple of weeks. If you’re already a subscriber, you’ll be able to test it as soon as the next beta. The feature will continue to develop and expand over time, and we’ll likely have more news about it in future. So stay tuned and we look forwards to seeing what you can all do with it! GameDev News HTML5 2D |
