    Construct 3 rental: you stop paying, you cannot open your older projects for updates/changes.

    How do you know that?

    What if you just can't export without a subscription?

    How many times a year do you export?

    Would you prefer to pay each time for that?

    Isn't it clear by now the majority of people here don't care about paying more, they just want to own it for life? Principle, like.

    Ok, yeah sure. Just like Windows Xp. You still own that? You can still use that. Somewhere.

    I can appreciate the need to turn this into another debate for native, but that's not going to happen.

    Yes the numbers don't lie, but we aren't in the high end for those markets.

    We would be lucky just to hit the middle.

    Yes web games earn very little, but it's apples and oranges for what html5 can reach, especially with Uwp, and Instant games on the horizon.

    If you want better monetisation for web games then complain about that, don't complain about $99 dollars a year here when it's going to average more than that somewhere else.

    Game maker 2 has an improved visual coding editor - no need to learn gml, but the visual code editor also can preview code that is generated in real time - so it can help you learn gml if you want to.

    Its still a better deal imo, because what you pay for is native exporters for android/ios.

    You get native exporters for windows/mac and linux just by buying the editor for 99$

    No subscriptions needed, its all a one time payment. If you wait for a while, yoyo games releases a humble bundle offer where you can get it all cheaply

    Scirra's offer at the moment is just insane considering that it can only export to html5 and you have to use wrappers

    Even stencyl exports to native , and even offers the editor with no limitations and export to flash for free. That is way more inviting to people to get started making projects in it

    You make the distinction that Windows, and Linux are somehow better.

    Steam is the only viable way to distribute a pc game and it's terrible, and $100 dollars to start, well was, Greenlight is going away, and so is your hundred bucks.

    Then there is no worth while market for Linux. lol

    Html5 works on virtually every modern browser.

    Do Gamemaker 2 buyers get a discount if they bought the first version?

    I wonder how that averages out per year of use.

    299 for an export module?

    When is Gamemaker 3 due?

    Sorry I aint so goodly at math.

    Actually, saving the project locally to your system folder for Dropbox would be better than saving it via the web interface.

    It would sync on its own, out of sight.

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • Objects are loaded at the start of layout into memory.

    So the answer here is no, it's already there.

    In fact the type of particle used for explosions already destroys itself after the last particle is gone.

  • I mean having people who would be willing to sign an nda and fix projects for users.

    You wouldn't want someone who didn't know what they were doing, so some sort of credential system would have to be made.

    I kind of doubt Scirra would want to add that on to all the other things they are doing.

  • Was that in pounds perhaps?

    Speaking of pounds:

    "Thousands of game developers abuse Construct 2 daily, it can take it. With nearly 1,500,000 downloads to date, there's a battalion waiting for you to sign up. Jump in now, don't look back."

    Might wanna lay off the Fifty Shades of Grey.

    Just saying.

  • Sounds like debugging/ optimizing as a service might be worth looking into.

    Forum based?

    Store integration?

  • Make an apk that opens a website in the same window.

    Tada.

    But yeah seriously we should all be gearing up to use it this way, and get rid of the apk mess completely.

    Then start beating Ios over the head do it the same way.

  • Thanks!
