1/3 adults with a criminal record in a developed country seems absolutely insane to me. Edit: Well I need to get off my horse because it seems to be similar here in the UK as well: https://www.theguardian.com/money&#x2F

Isn't the server giving you permission to view the data? Not give? EG, if it returns an image - it doesn't imply I can use the image anywhere I want.

I think Google Webmaster tools report some XSS vulnerabilities. I'm not suggesting their detection is in any way as sophisticated as your solution - but do you see internet search giants offering and improving this sort of service as

This looks really cool! One comment, in this picture: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/16434461a69346de4ee07b950... The left and right side of the rectangle are correctly bent around the shape of the globe. However, the

I would think it would be better to keep the time stamp in a separate column. In essence you're duplicating the time stamp across FKs which is space wasteful - and a little abstract as one field is holding multiple data.

Breaking the rules/doing something a little risky can lead to some of the most magical moments in your life. Death for someone attempting to seek escape and joy in their life seems like an excessive punishment - mockery isn't nece

I assume you think it'd be awful if it happened to a child because even if they knew they were not meant to, they won't be fully understanding of the potential tragedy & suffering it would cause. Why can't we extend that

I see a lot of exploitation in internships in businesses near me, which does anger me. A lot of companies use internships as a thin veil for cheap/unpaid labour. Be wary of such offers that have very little learning or training. Not

Have you tried Construct 3? The feedback we're getting (some in this thread) is that it's very responsive. We're getting feedback on social media that people are forgetting sometimes they are using it in a browser. Making

I think you slightly misunderstood our product, Construct 3 is a game engine that runs in the browser, that lets people make HTML5 games. And yes, we're going to be releasing an Electron version at some point soon! And people who make

> Why would a game developer use a Chromebook or an Android device? Because they are usually a lot cheaper and more accessible worldwide. As an example, a market we've identified is educational in US, there's millions of Chrome

What other game dev tools can a user on a Chromebook use? Or an Android device? Another thing, it enables us to rapidly iterate and deploy through one code base. Maintaining code bases for multiple platforms will be like a ball and chain

We're obviously working on C3 guides, but there are a lot of similarities so the C2 resources should be useful until then.

Yes, there will be. Coming soon! Also, as it is, Construct 3 will run offline. Try bookmarking it, pulling your internet cable out then visiting it :)

We don't think we directly compete with Unity. If you imagine all engines in a pyramid, Unity is at the top and we're somewhere in the middle. Construct users often graduate to Unity, but conversely people who try Unity and find

Yes, are aware! There is still a ton to do on the website, and we're actively working on it. This is a beta phase which should last ~8 weeks then everything will look a lot smarter :)

We're really excited for Construct 3 in education, we think we have a unique offering here. We plan to have it rolled out and available for purchase in 8 weeks ready to go. Always happy to chat about this stuff, feel free to email me

Hey Tyler! That's amazing to hear. One thing we are interested in experimenting with in the future for Construct 3 (not possible in C2) is "free weekends" like some games do, but even "free time-period for specific eve

Thank you really appreciate the compliment. We hope we've managed to bring what we've learnt from outputting HTML5 games into the editor itself.
