  • I've got one more bit creazy idea... even few. Maybe you could have an add slot whch would be displaying advertisments every 30 minutes in a free verision like free spotify that playes adds every few songs?( I acctualy wonder have anyone cracked free spotify to disable this). Another idea would be just to have adds displayed on program start so user will have to click it in order to start. C2 would have to connect with your servers too to check weather code been modified by cracks or hacks or not. And if it would then it would be automaticaly updateing to original version. And would be good to to have some benefits over hacked versions like some sort of online acces to resources for registered users etc.

  • I don't think we should issue lifetime licenses with our incremental version model, but I like the idea of an alpha/early-adopter license. It could help us raise funds for development, if we start issuing them soon. How about a ?9.99 "early adopter" license which has 2 years of upgrades, with a view to increasing it to ?39.99 as we add more features?

    It's cool, althought maybe you could add an extra year or two to the early version as won't it take some time, like a year or so, before it will be useful enough to make proper games?

  • I repeat what i said few times already. It's all cool what you coming up with Ash. However maybe the way Minecraft was and is distributed would satysfy everyone on this forum? When in alpha MC costed 6.99 euro with indication that final version will cost 19.99 plus whoever buys alpha will be getting updates and addons fo free trough the lifetime. MC is in beta now and it cost, i think, 12.99 and there is indication that updates r for free till version 1.0, and after that fixes will be only free and for addons you will have to pay extra. And maybe this would work for C2? There is still houndreds thousends of people who never even heard of construct, so there is still massive market ahead. What do you think?

    edit@ sorry i don't think i was clear enough. Basicly C2 alpha should be sold for one of payment with lifetime updates, but after that the two year subscription would kick for evey new purchase when in beta.

    edit2@ god , my english might be a bit terrible today ^^'

  • I think it's fair. After all you put so much work in to this that not wantig to pay you for C2 would be literally a thieveriy. But you should throw exporters in to that price too. Although if you would go with Minecraft model, where if bought when in alpha, customer is getting lifetime updates that would be very kind of you ^^

  • Firefox 4 has hardware acceleration to IE9's level, so it should run smoothly in that. Firefox 3.x seems to use a software renderer which isn't very optimised.

    Ok, cool.

  • Ok Cool. Have you guys decided on the pricing system yet? I wanted to pay for it today ^^''

    just an idea thought : maybe you should do it a bit like minecraft pricing is, ware it's not much for alpha, more for beta and full price for final version?

    Another question would be, what kind of behaviours and plugins you're planning for C2? Will we see online multiplayer plugin developped in-house?

    Thanks

  • Latest FF, as in 3.6.13, or the FF 4 beta?

    3.6.13

  • Well, the performance seems pretty bad compared to C1. I get about 36 fps with just 50 objects changing angle and size every tick.

    Im getting roughly 10 fps with some ridiculous lags in between :<

  • After reading the whole topic I'm confused. First of all, how much and for what eggsactly i'll be paing if i want to get construct and make commercial games?

    In regards to the splash screen i think it should be customisable, and it must display developer logo next to C2 logo, if c2 logo have to be there and not somewhere else ( for example in the corner of menu screen ).

  • There r no words how to express the lvl of excitement I'm in XD

    I've got few questions. shall i post them in FAQ topic?

  • COnstruct 8*2-14 XD

    Seroiusly: CO2

  • What 3d features c2 is going to have, would you know by now? Thanks

  • Couple of my observations. I've got latest FF but both games ( especialy shooter) ware lagging as hell, though i know my specs are quite dated ( centrino duo core 1.66, 2gb, gforce 7300 256mb) . plus the game window was slightly bigger than my FF display window, so when i was pressing arrow keys i was activating scroll bar.

  • It sound like C2 is going to be very indie-proffesional which is great! Good luck! x

    Edit@

    Just want to add on top of that, i would like to say that games i've got designed are to console style for pc ( 0.x ) and would work the best as mobile devices apps. That's wat was putting me off from 0.x - lack of multiplatform support. And since I'm not a programmer neither got money to pay someone to program an app for me i had to put thise games on hold. But if C2 runs well on my old machine and if it will do what it suppose to, I'll be very happy and i buy it guys

  • Brilliant!
