  • The goal is to stamp out as many bugs as possible before we start selling it - we think people would be more upset buying buggy software.

    Ah got you now. We don't see why Construct 3 wouldn't work in all future versions of Chrome - onwards from 57. Also, offline desktop builds will solve the issue you're talking about I believe.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • It's a beta test. We're expecting lots of bugs. When someone sends us a bug from a huge game, it's insanely time consuming to try and reduce the project to the root cause. Keeping it feature restricted will help us fix more bugs faster.

    Also, we are going to be unlocking all features in the final week for the game jam when everything is a lot more stable.

    Understand you want to get your hands on everything, but we don't think it's the right choice at this stage.

  • No comparison chart yet, but on the to-do list! For now, here's a list of what's new:

    Doesn't say what available in the free edition yet though I'm afraid.

    Unfortunately there are some features we're using that simply would take far far too long to refactor. For example, CSS grids are a new browser feature we use for the entire layout of the editor. Grids are designed specifically for this usage in mind, and if we wanted to make it an optional feature we'd end up with div soup.

    I understand your point entirely, but there was a tradeoff here, supporting organisations/users with older browsers, or reduced development time and easier maintenance. Historically we've always gone for #2.

    I have several computers, some are managed, meaning they cannot be updated to the main version until they pass strict testing controls. Often, this means they are 10, even 20 updates behind. 99% of the time, they are not on the latest version, unless there was a huge critical security flaw that needs patching.

    If C3 cannot be used on older chrome versions, with no bypass option, this is a huge oversight. I find it hard to believe they would eliminate the corporate world from using C3...I will wait for feedback. I suspect this is just a beta thing, because there is a warning message that implies you can still use it. The ability to however, is not turned on it seems.

    Construct 3 is built for now and the future, using bleeding edge features.

    I would also argue that an organisation not allowing updates to browser is a pretty backwards security policy. Unfortunately you'll have to wait for them to allow updates.

    There is a bug in Chrome detection, try clicking "Launch Anyway" if you are up to date.

  • We've reduced the free edition limits in C3 from C2. Our numbers were showing not enough C2 users were converting to paying customers so we're making an adjustment here.

  • What aspects of the usage specifically are you not enjoying? It's important for us to find out to see if we can improve it. Is it just the fact it's in the browser, or anything specific?

    It's up! Only about 1-2 hours later than we anticipated which is pretty good for a product launch!

  • Getting near, don't worry! Probably another 1-2 hours.

  • We've said we'll keep updating C2 as we have been for the last year or so.
