    signaljacker you can open your projects in read only mode, said this many times.

    If you want to edit, publish, change your project you'll need to pay for access to the software to allow you to do that.

    So its free for the first year for me? Will I get the 50% off thing for C3 going for as long as I have the personal licence for C2 or is it only for the first or second year? I was going to pay the $50-100 a year anyways but this is already really nice. Also can you link me to something that shows the improvements from C3 over C2? The teaser website doesn't really show much.

    Jut one last question, will you abandon C2 to work on C3 alone, or will you continue updates on both?

    • If you bought C2 on or after the date we announced C3 in the first blog post, you get 100% discount on your first year. This will be exercised when you decide to first start your subscription.
    • Check all our blog posts for details on C3 that have been announced
    • No, we will continue to provide updates to C2 as we have been doing for the last year or so.

  • We're not selling C3 during the beta

  • [quote:3hr381us]Is the expectation that people will pay to do beta testing when it's released?

    Of course not

  • I've explained this in another thread, but am happy to talk about it again.

    From when we announce Construct 3 to when we release Construct 3 is a period of many months. During this period, a risk we identified in advance would be that everyone stops buying Construct 2 to wait for Construct 3. If this happened, we would be haemorrhaging money which would put a lot of financial stress on the business.

    It's a risk we obviously wanted to avoid, so we decided to let anyone who buys Construct 2 get their first year of Construct 3 for free so that the buyer wont hesitate if they are wondering about Construct 3.

    This is not at all a slight at our current customer base, we consider a lot of Construct 2 purchases now as basically pre-orders for Construct 3.

  • We want to do more videos going forwards as part of marketing strategy, but right now not geared up for it and we're way too busy!

  • Apart from a huge bang on the first announcement which has been expected, blog views have been steady and not declining. Honestly, we're pretty happy with how things have been going.

    Don't read too much into the FB numbers, we did some paid promotions earlier on which we've stopped for now.
