    I dont think you should mention Unity as a good business model, they are in big trouble.

    I used to think the same way about subscribing to Construct, but have changed my mind a lot over the years. We all want the best value for money we can get.

    Somehow we are all allergic to pay for software.

    But you go to watch a 2 hour film at the cinema and it cost around £10+ now, swimming or sports hall session is the same.

    For a hobby paying yearly works out to £8.66 per month at the current price.

    I looked at Gdevelop as a mainly free similar alternative but decided to renew C3 another year. Gdevelop has some features over Construct i like, but found you never know if or when a bug will get fixed and they seem to be moving more to a tiered subscription model themselves.

    Lastly if i'm reading Scirra's tax statements correctly they continue to increase their profits each year, so i doubt they will be motivated to change from a subcription model.

  • I like what you are doing, and would love to see it in C3, but is there any point voting?

  • Please comment Ashley . It seems a lot of work is going on by Mikal to help expand C3. The least you can do is take a minute to respond.

  • It depends what your comparing it to. You don't need unreal engine, but if your going to add 3d then at least add collisions and 3d ray casting to finish the feature set. One of my biggest gripes with C3 is that a lot of things get added but never completed. Its just enough to entice you with what could be possible, but ultimately leaves you frustrated with its limitations.

  • I know its a 2d game maker, and it excels at it, but i just wish they'd put a little more into 3d. With just a few more things it could be really great for 3d too.

  • SpaceCore, please dont hijack topics. Make your own if you require help.

  • R0J0hound how is it achieved in the JS demo "Complex terrain" under examples? Perhaps that can give some clues to convert them to regular events. I'm affraid i don't understand the code.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I made a quick reigns example a while ago that uses a good random event method.

  • I found GDevelop and it looks easy to use and is much more affordable, so I canceled my C3 subscription. I was locked in at a lower price, but it's hard to convince friends and family to pay $26 for casual use. And I imagine the price will just continue to go up because of, I don't know, I guess inflation.

    Anyway, C3 is a great product and everyone here has been great answering my silly questions. Thanks for everything and best of luck with your games!

    Ive been considering this too.

    I like how it has a real 3d engine with built in collision and 3d recasting, and basic lighting, but i found the interface a big step down, and i wonder how long it takes for bugs to get fixed given the open source nature of the program. Its defiantly gaining more traction now than C3, I'm starting to see it get mentioned everywhere.

  • There is a free extension that was made recently to allow 3d objects to be rotated. Sorry i can't find the link right now, but its on here somewhere.

  • The download link appears to be dead?
