In terms of pricing:

If you are a single indie developer, it is free to create an account and download the studio software on any of the supported platforms. Once synced, you can test your project on any device you have the software installed on, no messy cables or emulators, what you see when testing is how it will behave live.

The only cost will come when you want to export the project.

So Free: $0.00, ability to build and test projects on any device the studio supports. Ability to export only through my company, 20% commission taken.

First come first served basis on email support.

** ALL THESE FEATURES AND PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE ACCORDING TO FEEDBACK **

Alright,

A really big update

I am combining the current exporter into my own Game Studio software

What does this mean?

The combined program is written in Monkey language, which means the Studio program is fully cross platform! This allows cross platform cloud editing!

Example: Bob has a PC running windows, and a android phone. Bob uploads the game he has made to his studio cloud account, then downloads the studio software via google play store on his Android device. Once logged into his account, the software downloads his project to his phone.

Bob is now able to test the game on his Phone as if he just downloaded it from Google Play.

Other Example: Bob is away from his computer when he thinks of a really cool idea for his game. He gets out his phone, opens his game and put into dev mode, makes the change to the game which syncs back to the cloud.

Besides GL, there is also the two major areas of WebAudio or more specifically what ever Audio system the langauge supports and WebRTC which I'm not sure has a direct UDP variation.

He doesn't use at all the exported JS, but rather the capx/project folder itself, and do equivalents of the official plugins through monkey (since the project folder contains just the names of plugins used, and how they are used, he should be able to make an equivalent of them)

For the unofficial plugins, not sure it can be handled at all like that, but not that it matters at the moment (pretty sure doing plugins for this could be possible, but we'd have to make them ourselves I think)

Exactly

Oh and Android min version 1.5, no max version according to Engine docs

Its almost 3am here,

but i know the minimum required is android 3.2, so i think most above that

Ill check the engine docs and get back to you with a more definitive answer

tomsstudio - as I've tried to mention before in the thread, WebGL effects are only the tip of the iceberg. You're going to have a long list of major unsupported features. We would offer more help if we thought it would result in a commercial grade product.

I'm going to have to disagree with you here Ashley.

WebGL is daunting, ill admit.

Multiplayer will be the longest feature to code in. I will probably require help from someone on this.

But all the other features i have looked at in Construct 2 are already in development/or already have modules.

Your help would be appreciated, but not necessary

Like i said before, i truly do love construct 2, i appreciate the work you and Tom have done, it is truly amazing, it has inspired me

Oh and the person who pm'd me:

I need 240 more rep to reply

So beta not too far away i hope, working closely with developers will be the most important part.

Back to the basics. Super-duper features are nice, but

Make basic features - Ad, GameCenter, IAP, etc - work surely on every platform first.

I think that's the real value of HTML5.

I've put my game on hold to work on my Native thingy.

Ad via Admob IOS + Android /tick

IAP IOS + Android /tick

Gamecenter IOS only atm /sadface

How important is WebGL Effects on mobile to everyone? Cause these are really, really hard to code .

I might have to hire someone to code it for me.

**Update 12th March**

Added Targets: Windows, Mac, Linux via GLFW

Added Possible Targets: XNA (xbox360), PSM (PS:Vita) **I say possible because i don't have the hardware to test, but the engine supports both targets**

Looks like Webgl effects is going to take a while, so going put those on back burner.

Everything else is coming along nicely.

Got a very basic version of cloud compiler working, still mostly concentrating on features.

For myself i'm having a lot of fun making this.

However, winter is coming (game of thrones), must not get too distracted

*Spelling ><

It would probably be better if tomsstudio had a small team of volunteers to help him out since it seems such a big task for Scirra to take on. I would rather them work on this then multiplayer, gosh I don't even want to think about the complications that's going to cause. I can't even post scores on Facebook from my android game..

Posting to facebook shouldn't be too hard to implement

The biggest help when things go into beta will be people submitting games to test.

The biggest help right now would be knowing what features people want the most, and of course there support

So you'reusing Monkey? That's nice, it is a really nice language.

Now for a bit of inception, imagine an html5 C2 project re-compiled to html5 through Monkey

Keep us updated

nooo my brain XD

This sounds awesome. Good look with this adventure!

Thank you

tomsstudio

You've got my attention here.

Regardless what ashley officially said about your project you never know...

But I have to agree with him in one thing, be sensitive of how you present this and what hopes you raise.

Best wishes

I understand your concern. My policy is only when i have a feature being developed then i can say 'hey look x has this feature'.

But what i can say is that i'm dedicating half my time to this, the other half going towards my game i'm making.

I'm fortunate enough with my wonderful family that i can dedicate a lot of time to this project.
