For those of you who haven’t come across the Global Game Jam, it’s a huge in-person jam that is taking place all over the world from the 25th to the 27th of Jan...
awesome initiative... only problem is with that small a window, if you create something you love and would like to develop further... sorry- you cant unless you fork up 100 bucks for the year. Ive already paid 100 bucks for a year and thats expired... I dont like these subscription based software "ball and chains" that keep your own hard work as hostages to their subscription plans as a way to siphon more money from its userbase. To me thats parallel the whole EA games in-app purchase scheme with loot crates. why milk your fan-base for money when they are the ones keeping you alive in the first place? I think I will use game-maker this year. I loved the simplicity and speed to get something started in construct... but Im a middle class working family dude- I dont have loads of disposable income. Thanks but no thanks.
I'm sure you can use construct 2 (If you have it already, full version) If you have to use c3 to be counted as a construct game then that's stupid. Again I'm sure you don't have to use c3 but use c2
You deff. are able to use Construct 2!
I'm still using C2 loyally for the same reason.
Recently even updated my Android games to support the new Android Api rules etc. No hassle!
i'm just missing out a bit on the much improved versions of the array, the upcoming z-space etc. and unfortunately, some performance. although, C2 is solid. it keeps surprising me from time to time.
this is true - i do own C2 and enjoyed it... just need to dust it off. I have not used it for almost 2 years... but I have good memories.. maybe thats the better option.
the same situation! I'm not able to change Scirra's mind here. It is their money and future! But for me it is a bit expensive for 1 year. Especially when I made only $ 14.21 for 2 years on my games :).
I think people buy 1 year subscription and after never prolong it.
But for Scirra it is the same amount of profit if they sell lifetime subscription.
If you buy next year it's great if not it is still OK for Scirra
