  • Just posting in here to remind everyone please to keep things civil - there is no need for personal attacks. Thank you everyone!

  • Is planned yes - Kyatric currently finishing off a French translation which we are going to do some tests with.

  • Thanks - not much we can do about this as it's just a false positive from an anti virus.

  • But I am still hesitate put all of my time to learn it. Since Gamesalad is pretty much done.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Gamesalad working on an online beta version of their creator tool, much like Construct 3?

  • Try Construct 3

    We've talked about this at length. In summary:

    • We need to pay for various bits of infastructure that support C3. Users on old versions not upgrading would be an ongoing cost us
    • We'd need to patch old versions when breaking changes happen - this can be really difficult
    • We'd struggle to offer support to these users. Saying "support only for newest version" doesn't cut it imo.

    There'd be a lot of changes and complications our end - all so people wouldn't need to pay any more. It's not something we're looking at doing.

  • I'll raise this in our next meeting.

    It's from the moment you chose to purchase it. If you're happy to buy during beta then do go ahead, otherwise you can wait until we're out of beta which will probably be in a few months.

    Currently, we're really happy with the stability and usability of Construct 3. Compared to our first releases of Construct 2 we're lightyears ahead in that regard.

    • Construct 3 won't be available on Steam
    • Yes, all export options will be available to anyone who has a plan - all included in one price. Absolutely no plans to charge more for exporters now or in the future.
    • Standalone version of C3 is planned - stay tuned.
    • Not planned directly in product - but you can write your own plugins and behaviours with Javascript

    LTC no, but possibly BTC via Stripe.

  • I think these questions are best answered when some examples of why it would be discontinued are offered.

    In what scenarios do you see this happening? And also, what specific reassurances are you looking for?

  • How much is the C2 discount? Is it just 1 year?

    Yes it applies to your first years payment.

  • No, I've taken a decision to do not switch C3 in following reasons:

    -Internet required to open Google Drive and other cloud files.

    Yes, if you want to use an online file storage you need to be online. Alternatively, you can use local file save/load.

    Scirra promised to update C2 as new version but it will not happen.

    We've been releasing Construct 2 updates. Last one was only a few days ago.

    Paypals API's are let's say challenging to work with and in my experience not documented particularly well. Stripe on the other hand is written beautifully and easy to work with.

    The payment system is pretty sophisticated. I took the decision to go with the easiest to work with payment API first as it would be easier to design and test.

  • Just to clarify, we're in a beta stage but licenses are on sale.

    We hope to be out of beta by end of summer (the "full" launch).

  • You do not need a business license unless you are a business. Personal Licenses are permitted for use by one named individual only.
