  • Why do you want to ask what you should take away? I would say remove nothing (It is a difficult choice)

  • Ashley how long can we still vote? I hope you will not close this topic to soon....

  • I voted for more desktop (Mac,Linux and maybe Amiga/Freebsd) Because there is a major player in the other platform wich is important to have a huge public, but i think it is also important to have the online support with the Html 5 and WebGL, instead of using Flash/silverlight/Java. It will be better if the player don't have to install any plug-in to their own navigator (Firefox or IE).

    PS: I think you should also think about Iphone and Android for you futur buisness (Construct 2) and have a deal with apple/google. But i believe it is impossible for Psp or NDS, there is some hope for psp since yoyogames recently port the game (they might a deal with sony), watch their Glog about the export. THanks again for the hard work Ashley!

  • [quote:enqu6vpy]Note that I expect multiplatform support to be a popular option, but there's no way we can port the runtime and all plugins to every device under the sun. Realistically we can probably cover two platforms at most without substantial help from other coders, and realistically one of them will probably be a Windows desktop runtime like in Construct 0.x now.

    So you mean, it can only run on two OS? I was hoping construct to be multiplatform or online support wich allow the player to play the game without any plugin like Adobe flash player/silverlight/Quicktime. But from the choice you gave us i have pick :

    • Online multiplayer support

    -Multiplatform support (see note in post - effectively one other platform)

    -Multicore support/better general performance

    Too bad we can't choose more than 3, i was wishing we could select 5 thing as our wishe... But i believe the second export you have in mind would Linux, just like Game develop... Geez it will be too bad for Mac user

  • what do you mean about having a free version? if it is a lite version like game maker, that mean it is gonna be Freeware with restriction or you will stay open-source even until the new construct. What is the plan? can you please tell me?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • many of the things Candy mentioned are already possible / make no sense in 2d

    There is some of them that can be possibly made in 2D if you search on youtube , but it is too much from what i am asking ^^"

    A statement in the russian interview from Ashley said otherwise. There will be a free version of Construct 2 (something like that - Google translator is horrible)

    I hope it is not going to be a shareware or making us pay a cheap price , if that was the case there will be many people leaving or unable to used :/. But Freeware is way possible because the difference between Freeware and open-source is the fact you can use for free only for no commercial purpose or limited on function like game maker lite, if it is open-source like the actual construct is way fine but... i fear most is that one day construct 2 may be possibly been buying by a compagny like clickteam and can most likely become a closedsource....(just like sculptris of drpetter)

  • I think it is better to add this on the new construct :

    -Bones support

    -Exportation on many platform (Mac,linux,window,Xbox360,Window phone, Iphone,NDS and flash)

    -Shadow and light support

    -Bump map support (2D)

    -History support (just like photoshop to go back from the mistake)

    -Editing the game in real time

    -Video Suppport

    -2D Parallax Occlusion Mapping (Parallax Occlusion Mapping gives the illusion of a 2d/Flat surface appearing 3d)

    -2D heightmap

    -2D Occlusion Culling
