  • Well I thought made clear in my previous post and you basically told me to shut up and stop asking and read the privacy T&C when it comes out?

    I don't believe I've told anyone to shut up, I'm being patient.

    I want to know how C3 is handling security that will allow you to know what a person is publishing to enforce your license?

    For example: If I have a license C3 version and my buddy has a free version and I use my version to upload his capx and export it to a different platform is Scirra going to know of that and will they lock my engine?

    We've never 'locked people's engines'. And I don't think it's reasonable for us to go into our anti piracy measures with you as part of an effective anti piracy strategy is not outlining what exactly we do to combat it as it's a game of cat and mouse. Our policy internally (and we've debated the ins and outs at length) is that we know some level of piracy will happen, but we will always do our best to ensure it never, ever affects legitimate paying customers. As long as you're a legitimate paying customer you do not need to worry.

    I don't know of any other way you could enforce your license without including code that would allow Scirra to internally shut down a specific engine

    We've never shut down a legitimate paying customers engine.

    and that raises privacy concerns over who is vieweing and possibly copying our capx projects.

    It doesn't, as I've explained a few times now we don't have access to your CapX files unless you explicitly decide to upload them as files to our arcade or as forum attachments.

  • Lots of discussions on features and very little on security and built in codes that could end a game designers ability to use the engine which is very important to game developers that make a living from that business.

    Security is a nebulous concept. What aspect of the Construct 3 engine's security are you specifically concerned about? And what security aspects do you think would end a gamedevs ability to use Construct 3?

  • Read our privacy policy when it's published as it will cover your concerns.

    [quote:20o7a4ai]Like your C3 progam many game designers don't want people looking through their capx which may contain copyrighted and proprietary information.

    We don't look through your Capx files, as mentioned in a previous thread we don't have access to your Capx files.

  • I'm afraid for security reasons can't really go into that sort of information, hope you understand

  • Yes, I believe we already have T&C covering that and will be part of the C3 T&C.

  • I've deleted that post as it adds nothing to the discussion and I'm sure you can appreciate how it might be interpreted by us as trying to redirect customers to competitors.

  • Thank you this has been dealt with.

  • Just for clarity, we have no plans for a time limited trial of Construct 3. We will still have a free edition with no time limits. Limitations of Construct 3 free edition are still to be published.

  • This should do what you ask!

  • Thanks for the interesting post, we hope Construct 3 does meet your expectations in this regard. We'd be interested in your feedback once you get to try it.

    Locking this thread, been discussed at length in other threads.

    Locking this thread now as it's gone way off topic.
