  • Will look into this.

    Thank you.

  • In the past 2 days the forum randomly logs me out and can't seems to remember what topics I read and what are the new posts in them. Anyone experiencing the same issues?

  • I am retired from teaching now and did not teach a course on C2.

    My comment is based on teaching other programming and game design courses but I would do it the same way.

    I think C2 is a good engine to teach because the events are laid out logically.

    Thank you for your answer.

  • lamar How is your experience with teaching C2? How are the students reacted to the event-based programming?

    So Construct 3 saves binary blobs that can not be edited externally and are difficult for tracking changes.

    While we haven't head anything about how Scirra plans to handle team collaboration, I hope they do have some efficient solution for that. ClickTeam is getting ready to support it, so I don't think it's something Scirra can evade. Again, I'm not implying on that they want to, we still don't know all details.

  • I'll pay for a good theme

    While it's not directly related to usage accessibility, I'd pay for a well made dark editor theme if Scirra somehow misses that for the launch.

    The "Pay to own" part in that article sounds really appealing. I hope Scirra takes a look at that. That option could calm some of the concerns.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Scirra does not want to make native exporters

    True, and they stated that about a thousand times. I don't get why are you surprised about this.

    I think having control over the full export process is a huge step forward. I personally like this feature very much. Android 5+ market share is growing and soon you won't have to worry about the packaged Chromium browser since you can just release your project to use WebView. I made a build like this with XDK for one of my projects using C2. I got a package with 5MB size. And the project weighted around 4MB.

    You pretty much lose access to all of your investment once you miss a payment

    That's a very interesting and very important topic to talk about. I'll hope Scirra provides information on this in the upcoming news.

  • node-webkit?

    Or with Electron. From what I can tell, Electron is more popular in terms of running desktop versions of applications.

  • This topic is polite not ranting. The reason the topics go into fights is people like the ones you see in this topic who start fights instead of answering questions.

    That's why I said I'm not talking about this topic. I edited my post to answer your questions the best way I could.

    Inzodgames Scirra stated that they will support C2 in the future. However we can't expect them to do it forever (when we'll be 80 years old for ex.). Every software has an expiration date, but I think C2 still has a long way to go before reaching that point.

  • On Monday we'll get the next update. Hopefully the Community will calm down by that time and can think more clearly. I'm not saying I don't understand why so many of you are upset, but ranting in topics won't bring us forward (I'm not talking about anyone, or about this topic, but in general). Polite, well thought suggestions could and I'm sure Scirra is more keen to think about those posts.

    Edit:

    To answer PixelPower 's post:

    1 - I don't think so, since C3 uses the same runtime as C2. But I think we can hope for some smart optimizations.

    2 - I'm not sure how it can make it any easier. But I'm positive that it will make it more convenient.

    3 - Probably.

    4 - I think this is a must have feature today. So I think we can expect that.

    While Scirra stated that you won't be able to edit your projects after the subscription ends, I hope they reconsider ethanpil 's suggestion. I think that would be the best solution. I want to pay Scirra for a software that deserves it, but I also like to own in some manner what I purchased. There has been examples posted by the Community in the C3 section of software that does it that way and the users are satisfied. On the other hand Scirra would have to find a suitable DRM for C3 to let users install the downloaded version after the subscription ended, but still being able to block the possible pirated copies.

  • Thank you for this. I'll probably find this very useful in the future.
