    another big problem is game doesn't save data when you play.
    its save data only when you click iPhone home button.
    if game crush when you play, all the levels and points gone.
    we need to save game in game for example when enter on new ui, game should be save.

    Still issue with progression crashing (images used in objects in UI). Maybe it's in your upcoming hot fixes but just want to let you know

    @NikRudenko there's a lot of movement going on with this BB3 RC2 and the hot fixes. It seems like you guys are really pushing it as it should. By the way, is there any custom solutions (like a BB plugin) for Publisher SDK implementations with BB3, we do not want to bother you when there's a publishing deal every time. :) It's not that this happens often, but there's a chance. Any thoughts on that. At this point most publishers would want to port the game to Unity, because there's a Unity plugin for that. Publishing games on our own becomes less and less practical. Those big publishers really changed the face of the game industry, creating trends, setting trends, maintaining trends. If they have control over trends, those who publish games on their own are on the other side of the table :p

    BB as a tool will become more and more acceptable and anyone can create a game, that's not going to be an issue in the near future, but working with publishers is the next phase. When publishers stop accepting games due to high volume, they'll become more picky. I wonder then, what would be the next phase?!

    Another problem occurs is when I add Texture PNG files to objects (like ground, wall, sky), stretched objects without any respected ratio. When they are added into the scenes, they are kind of overlapping between two scenes so when play the game they shake / oscillate at the overlapping point. Haven't found a way around, maybe they have to be perfectly fit, but this shakeness or oscillation should not happen.

    What would be the best texture size in png pixls for this to work? Since the objects are stretched, this may create problems in textures. JPEG textures do not respond at all. Only PNG files seem to work up to this point.

    UPDATE: after playing around with this, I've noticed the issue. Each scene has a START and END instances. It's with END instance that's causing this. If I set the end scene to be with 0.01 or 0.001 points in the affected asset, they no longer overlap with the next START instance of the next scene (since END instance overlap with the START instance of the next scene - that's if the scenes are aligned) and this shakiness disappear. But clearly, that's a bug with BB3, RC 2

    @TreySmith and @NikRudenko

    Thanks a lot for your answer, hope to see those nodes soon, i would really like to make use of them :)

    One more thing i’d like to ask, is if you are planning to implement reading a sequence of obj/fbx/alembic so that we can have animated characters and so on. Any plan about this?

    @NikRudenko and @TreySmith

    There are advantages/disadvantages of having If Collision with its own Shape.

    It's better If BB3 have two options for If Collison.
    1. If Collision using Start Node's Collision Shape.
    2. If Collision using Own Collision Shape.

    So that we can avoid performance issues in most of the cases.

    I was excited about the new update but after updating the build box it started crashing, I was unaware of this issue and lost my +4 hour work. I am very frustrated even if I run a game it crashes.

    Yes, definitely want to do FBX and improve the whole support for models. What we have now is what we'll have at launch, but that will be core focus after the foundation is fully in place (i.e. we have all the right nodes, etc, for you guys to build what you want).

    Totally agree. That is what I suggested in this post. Please vote if you like
    https://www.buildbox.com/forum/index.php?threads/bb3-collision-shapes-idea.15532/

    You most definitely need to have a collision shape on the "If Collide" but also a lot of the time it is the same as that on the start node.

    For example you need to just know if you collide with something so the collision object is the same as the start node. But what is you want to know say when a wheel of a car has a collision it is a different shape to the start node collider.

    We do need more API access to colliders, and the setting of Size, Rotation, Scale is far to difficult we need direct input of these values.
