How about

- less event/layer limitation ( i.e. more events and layers), but

- no exporter option available, i.e. preview mode only

for free version?

Since it has no exporter, users could not publish any app in free version.

+1 This is the "best" compromise

And to let users "taste" the export options, you can limit them only to the C3 demos

I can understand your frustration, but you might as well stay with C2 on a memory stick (no installation required) or go with GDevelop. Even Construct Classic looks like an Ok solution to teach the basics of game programing.

More or less, all these programs have similar interfaces so you don't have to redo your documentation.

It should give you a general idea how it works.

No, and probably won't.

I simply dislike the subscription model.

Also at the moment you literally pay to be a beta tester:

(of course you can choose this in order to support Construct 3 early development)

C3 is good for what it supposed to do and has a lot of potential

I stand by this statement, but I think is too early to judge. You are comparing C2 that had 5 years of development to C3 that is still in beta/early access. A lot of plugins are still missing (even the new IAP is not ready). Better give some thought to after C3 is officially out of beta.

I think C3 will surpass C2 only after the new runtime is implemented, until then is a close call

I could do a quick test if you give me a complete package (launcher + test build) - Win 10 Pro 64bit, 8GB Ram, GTX 660

Speaking of other markets, Construct 2 supported exports to Nintendo Wii U. I saw the same games on Nintendo 3DS (but they may not have been created in Construct 2). Does anyone know if the new Nintendo Switch supports games created in HTML5?

Could Construct 3 support games for the Nintendo Switch or 3DS? I assume no one is creating Wii U games.

Nintendo used "Nintendo Web Framework" (HTML5 games) in an attempt to bring more developers on Wii U.

While the Switch should be able to run HTML5 content and has a touchscreen, it already has a lot of developers (and support for Unity), so I think it will not get "Nintendo Web Framework" anytime soon (or at all).

Even the New 3DS is a no-go for HTML5 due to performance issues.

For those who don't like subscriptions, but demand console export:

Damn, they really dropped the ball with this one... I remember that you could get the older Master Collection (All Platforms) for 500~800 $ (or 15$ from Humble Bundle). The prices for modules doubled compared to the V1.

Then again, it has a good showcase with big titles. And you have the ability to export to consoles (800$ is a relatively small fee if you target consoles), so the possibility is there.

Wow, put things in perspective....

On the other hand, the HTML5 Module is one time pay of 150$

Then again, C3's 100$/Year is cheaper then Cocoon.io anual fee + 500$ splash logo removal.

So take your pick. C3 is good for what it supposed to do and has a lot of potential, but in my case I simply don't like the subscription model.

No, and probably won't.

What do you mean exactly? On the discounts page?

I was referring at this to be displayed in the Plans page

While I will not subscribe to C3, I would like to point out a few things:

In the "Plans" page https://www.construct.net/ro/make-games/buy-construct-3

• I see the full price, not the reduced one (50% less first year for C2 users)
• It would be nice to see the price/month, like is shown in Buy C3 Personal , Buy C3 Business or Buy C3 Education
• What means "Easy Seat Management" that is not available for C3 Personal ?
• The free/trial version of C3 should be there as comparison.

Also, my C2 license is not shown in "Your Licenses" page.

BoyHK Sorry to say, but you are naive. Construct already passed the point of no return, even the editor is now HTML5 and C4 is at least another 4-5 years in the future, until then a lot can change.

Even if the stats are correct, 5% is still a big market share and Construct seems to focus on that. While I don't personally like it, is actually a good marketing decision.
