  • There are 2 phases of its launch. The first already happened and made it available for purchase. However before doing a marketed launch, Scirra first wants to hammer out any bugs left and make the environment as solid as possible. You can consider the current version in an early-adopter stage.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Construct has one of the best community in my opinion. I'm sure if you post your questions on the forums, you'll get some answers.

  • Pulstar Thanks for clearing that out.

  • For those who don't like subscriptions, but demand console export:

    Wow. I expected a high price tag for GMS, but nothing like that, and it's only for 12 months.

  • I will in the near future. While I don't want to port my current projects till it becomes more stable, I'll definitely support Scirra.

    No offence, but a few people here could do a bit of research. C3 runs without internet connection, you'll only need to be online for the first time to let it download itself. PWA magic.

  • Here's an example on web games having more income than mobile versions:

    I realize this is not the market standard, but I just wanted to share this with you to prove that it works that way sometimes.

  • Does it happen randomly or after you turn on your computer?

  • There's 2 problems with Flash:

    1) You need to download a plugin to run it.

    2) It constantly needs updating because of security reasons.

    It might be great for creators, but it's a huge hassle for everyone else. HTML5 is exactly the opposite. That's why Flash will lose the fight for the web. I say let Flash die a peaceful death.

    Also don't forget that all major browser vendors now went on a way to block Flash by default. It has too many problems.

  • I haven't tried the theme yet, but just as a side note: When you'll get to the final version of this theme, you might want to put up some images of C3 with this theme to the webpage to give that professional impression for new users.

  • The license costs 100$ and having a model to pay per event would just frustrate everyone imo.

  • Yes, other users also have issues with Surface Pro touch. Take a look at this topic:

    What I would suggest if your friend is buying on your behalf is to cancel the subscription as soon as it's paid for (you'll still be able to use it for the year!). Then also delete the card from your billing pages (email me if you have trouble with this).

    Regarding licensing, send me an email if you have any specific queries but licensing is changing for Construct 3 slightly in that any registered business (sole trader, LLC etc etc) must buy a business license and is not permitted to buy Personal. Again, email is best to answer specific queries.

    Thank you. I think I'll do it the way you suggested. Regarding the invoice, I'll just buy it for myself then for educational purposes so there will be no registered business involved.

    I'll have an other question that just popped into my mind: Can I use my license on multiple computers at the same time? For ex. I have a completed project opened on my notebook for helpful glances, while I'm teaching students using the notebook the school provides?

    Tom I'm thinking about asking one of my friends to lend me their card to buy C3 with it, but first I'd like to know this: Does C3 link to your credit card and pre-approve future payments (I don't want to surprise them with a 100$ purchase in a year)?

    Also, do you offer the option for getting invoices to a specified company's name (a 1 person company specifically) for personal licenses?

  • Tom this is indeed a problem. I also think that the free edition should be listed on the pricing page to inform users that they can try it out and what are it's limitations.

  • I do predict browsers going away though. Eventually, HTML5 will be integrated seamlessly into the operating systems. Everything is moving towards seamless connectivity, everything from children toys to automobiles. You can already get search results and information without even opening a browser. That's the future of the internet. The faster C3 becomes independent of Chrome, the better... or any browser for that matter.

    I see your point, but in my opinion browsers are just getting more and more functionality and opportunities. Web based applications are rising and you can do more and more work inside your browser. My prediction is that browsers will stay, technology will evolve and we'll see more full featured applications written in web languages. That doesn't mean that they won't be also available for the OSs (through integrated HTML5), but the "write once deploy everywhere" trend will get a bigger audience as technology matures.
