  • I just checked and at least 4, and probably more, previous stable versions barely added anything related to coding. And now we have a few release cycles to finally improve scripting after so much wait and you are "disappointed" lol. SO MANY THINGS are added to construct constantly. Honestly I don't know any piece of software that is updated with such pace. And you still complain, that's just crazy to me

    Construct has a lot of great things outside of events. Thats why people use it even if they ignore events completely. And its just hard to measure how powerful scripting is. Events are very limited just by nature of them, in addition to all the old-version-support devs have to care about when updating it, limiting it even further. Scripting is miles more flexible, so ignoring that feature would've been almost criminal

    • Hello nerdError,

      I feel like you're being attacked, I'm just giving my opinion and feeling, that's all.

      I understand that you seem to adore Construct 3, to the point of saying that this Update is “the best update ever”... Hum...

      But that's ok, there is something for everyone.

      I just think there are hundreds of more important things to do before working so hard on the code part (wich is not the strongest part of Construct, if I want to code I don't know why I would prefer Construct than others engine), bugs that have been there for years, essential features that aren't there, the beginnings of a 3D engine that was abandoned after a few updates, etc...

      This doesn't change the fact that I love Construct, it's great software, but as a “lambda” user I haven't been enthusiastic about an update for... more than a year I think?

      And I think that's a shame, but it seems that others love these update, some say it's “the best update ever”, after all, so maybe this is just me.

      • I'm sorry for being emotional. Was a little angry after your comment about Scirra deleting your comments haha

        Also your critique felt pretty exaggerated, to be honest. But yes that's your opinion

        I can totally agree that there are problems unfixed for a long time, and some important features still missing. But I think its just a unsolvable situation, because everyone values different things, and Scirra is just not big enough to constantly please everyone. Everything takes time and effort, especially quality work. So best we can do is to do suggestions and wait.

      • For example, I like 3D features in C3, but honestly i wouldn't like if Scirra focused too much on improving it, because I would much more prefer for them to focus on 2D stuff, because engine is obviously highly 2D focused. But on the other hand a lot of people are angry at scirra for not making C3 into full-fledged 3D game engine.. that is pretty weird to me.

        And yes, I was also frustrated at times, but then sooner or later, Scirra sorted those things out. And a lot of problems were fixed and features added. So yes, being patient is the key there.

        2/2

        • I think you're right, it's just a matter of opinion. In fact even if they work on improving 3D things, I guess some people will complain because they prefer to focus on 2D, or code.

          Thanks for your answer!
