The issue is feeling useless. Like you're starting over, and over.....

Why is it you feel like you're starting over? Do you mean with C3 being a change, or the fact that you can't achieve what you want with it and feel like you have to find an alternative?

> Sorry Ashley if I misrepresented it but I was sure the first time I read that blog it said you were going to let C2 sunset?

Just to be clear to any users who may be worried about this, we are going to continue to maintain Construct 2 for the foreseeable future much as we have been doing over the past year, as we have repeatedly said in all our posts recently. Please ignore any statements to the contrary, especially if they don't link to the source, which is obviously really easy to do on the web.

I knew there was trouble brewing when he said you mentioned "sunset" in your post and then asked you if you edited it. I read that blog. Never saw "sunset" once.

> So Tom are you going to do anything about the members here trying to disrupt this thread or is that your plan to use them to drive me off the website?

You're now banned for accusing me of trying to manipulate people into driving you off the website.

Everyone else feel free to continue discussing your thoughts on C3 so far.

Can you feel it? It's a brand new day! Now, my feelings about C3 now are this:

• I like the overall feel of it. It's familiar to C2 but slicker.
• I like how fast it loads.
• I like that I can make something as quick as I could in C2.

• I don't like that it's in the browser. It makes me feel constricted when using it. Mental thing, I'm sure.
• I don't like the subscription model, but I've paid for Adobe subs before, so it's no biggie.
• I don't like that it's not as capable as other engines I use, primarily Unity, but what do you expect?

Though I don't plan on subbing right away, I might just to see how it progresses over the year. I won't ever use it for developing a large project because I'm a 3D animator by trade and thus need an engine that supports it. I do, however, think C3 has a future if it takes advantage and pushes web technologies further.

People are watching and they see what is going on.

We're all watching alright. It's like a train wreck.

Lamar, I thought you were leaving because you thought we disrespected you? It seems relentlessly for the last several weeks there's been an endless reel of negativity and questions from you.

Have you considered that perhaps Construct 3 is not for you? If Construct 3 is not for you, maybe you should move on.

To be honest Im just about finished with everything gamedev related, it's all just become so depressing.

To be honest Im just about finished with THE FORUM, it's all just become so depressing.

There, I fixed it for you.

Don't you think it's a little too early for this?

Honestly I tried C3 for like 2 minutes and have never revisited it since. Not that I hate it or anything. I'm completely neutral with it. It's just that it's not a tool I'd be using for a long time as it spews out .c3p files which I have no use for. As stated in previous posts I will be using C2 mainly and only consider C3 if they decide for some reason in the near future C3 becomes the ONLY way to export your game.

I will be having a second first impression probably during the Newgrounds-Scirra Jam which I'm very excited for but as of now I'm not using it.

Why bother using and revisiting it this early on if you don't like what you're seeing? It will probably be on C2's level in the near future but as of now it's doing nothing but affirming your initial dislike of the software every time you open it.

This is exactly like people seeing the trailer for a movie (like the Female Ghostbusters movie last year) not liking what they saw. But then they keep watching and re-watching it, breaking down the trailer, noticing every pixel of detail, take every ounce of dialogue into heart and building their own contexts of what each line may have meant and then not liking the trains of thought they've constructed. It's like what do you expect?

Please tell us how you will be using C3 if you will be subscribing and if you are a serious game designer, small time game designer, hobbyist, educator or using the engine for some other purpose?

Also please tell us if you are a long time C2 user or new to game design or switching from some other engine to a Sciirra engine?

Yeah, I think the response Lamar is looking for belongs in his other thread which was locked. Lock this one and unlock that one maybe?

Lock 'em both.

Posts like that are how threads get locked... =[ > Please please please.

Keep it polite - no personal attacks.

Seriously? That's as polite as I can be to a troll who continues to bait Ashley and Tom with repetitious questions, tells others their cheerleaders, says people run interference, which is three I've counted so far, and heck, even more than I feel like saying now.

I guess if you can't say anything nice to someone, don't say anything. I'll just abide by that rule, but you guys should seriously think about the constant negativity coming in most of these threads from one ring leader and what you should do about it.

> I have asked Ashley to respond directly to my post.

>

> You seem to be more of a cheerleader trying to run interference so I would ask that you not respond to me until I have heard a response directly from Ashley to my question.

>

You reposted the same post and keep saying the same things without addressing any questions when others are asking you to clarify things due to you being ambiguous.

What is wrong with it being browser based?

Man, it's all well and good for him to respond to others but never the other way around. You're either running interference or cheerleading for the team. You'll be marked a lapdog soon if you keep it up. Never speak to he who must not be named.

The devs were taking their weekend break. I think now that the new week has started we'll see a lot more bug fixes once again. There are a ton for them to go through at this point.

I mentioned this on the first or second day of the beta in another thread, not the weekend.
