    what about addons you buy for it?

    do you have to rent them as well?

    You pretty much lose access to all of your investment once you miss a payment

    I'm thinking add-ons won't be available for the web version. I mean, I could be wrong, but it seems like it wouldn't be a thing. I'm thinking those would be available with the desktop version, which may or may not be subscription based. They already said that the desktop version will be available because the web version won't have some of those available features. I'm guessing plug-ins are one of them.

    Of course, I'm only guessing. We won't know til maybe next week or the weeks after that.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Spark engine that's about to leave this year, I think spark will revolutionize the engines, wait and see.

    Seriously? Spark is vaporware.

  • Most of these petition and anti-subscription threads will be closed anyways

    That's actually a good thing.

  • I'm completely with you on what's to "shovelware" part.

    I know most of those pretend to be indie-developers, but they're not true indie. True Indie is all about expression!

    Expressing yourself without giving a damn about what the world will think of you or how much you will earn because of it if at all. That's the only freedom man can achieve in this life.

    I don't say of course that Indie should be low-quality. For example I just can't help myself when I make games too simple or leaving gameplay part somewhere behind for the sake of my hidden point - I just delete project no matter how long I worked on it. As even being in passion to express something I can't finish the project that doesn't seems to me as good playable game.

    In 2011 I was a child that started to use Construct Classic and made games in my region back when it wasn't popular. I developed and released some shitty games without any thought of expressing anything. Just for fun.

    I have purchased Construct 2 in early 2014 and since then I haven't finished any game. It's all my self-searching ;(

    There's no regret of purchasing C2 as it helped me develop my skills, understand myself and finally get to the project that I believe is the most important for me. So even if I won't finish this one on Construct 3 because of engine's limitation (probably on export part as really interested in consoles) I still will be able to transport all I have done to any other engine. Unreal is the best engine for me to move if necessary as there's certainly no need to stay on one position with Game Maker, Stencyl and etk. My project won't be any better on any of those and so won't I.

    I say let's give Construct 3 a year. We have to pay 50 dollars only for this try. Construct 2 for it's first time was rather ugly for me after Construct Classic.

    I'm with you mostly. I use Unity for everything, but C2 is my go-to engine when I want to throw something together in an hour and see how it looks and feels. I can't really do that in Unity without having to do a bit of coding or changing some scripts to work with what I just tried. I'm gonna try C3 myself to see how it is, but if it doesn't really offer much except work on the go, then I'll keep my current workflow. It seems to be just fine.

    >

    Depends on what is has in the way of features and like I said I am not against them releasing another version and maybe there are more game designers that want to develop for consoles that will be interested.

    I am sure I will probably try out the free version and my point was about increasing customer volume instead of focusing on a small market of console and mobile game designers and taking care of those that have supported you and not dumping us as I have seen happen with other game engines going to subscriptions.

    That is my thoughts on that and my post was to Tom and is my opinion.

    I know it's your opinion, and I'm not arguing it. I'm merely debating the things you said. I'm sure the basic C3 edition will be as limited as the basic C2 edition. It's my guess at this point that they'll reveal some good things next week about export options. Let's hope anyway.

    Your tone is offensive.

    "We will still have a basic free edition of Construct 3." - posted by Scirra on the blog three days ago. You can use C3 whether you subscribe or not. What's your opinion about that?

    Construct 2 owners are a small base of customers. Can you link me to where you are finding these fake facts?

    He goes by opinions, not facts. You'll lose that argument.

    You are welcome to your opinion but the math is the math and having more volume of customers is better than having less and the higher the cost the less customers you will have as any business owner will tell you.

    Have a great day!

    Cost plays a lot in whether a customer will purchase something or not. Sell it for too much, and people might think the price is too high but the quality must be good. Sell it for too little, and they'll wonder if something is wrong with it. You assume I'm not a business owner or have never sold anything. Opinions are like butts... we all have them. Some are just a bit poopier than others.

  • I think most of the clones you see is from small wannabe game devs who think they can make a fortune by creating a clone or a half-attempt game using a tutorial someone else made and then slap some ads in it and call it a day.

    To put it in perspective it is better to have 1,000 customers buying a license and subscription at that price than it is to have only a 100 buy the license for more and never subscribe.

    This assumption that Scirra is only going to have 100 people subscribe to C3 is silly. There are literally thousands of people who use C2 and will (probably) upgrade to C3 if it suits their workflow. The noise you hear in the forums isn't from thousands; it's a small minority of users. Sure, it looks like a mess in the forums because the minority is always the loudest. Scirra will do fine with their subscription, and if not, they already said they'd reconsider the amount. The noise just continues despite Tom and Ashley already reaffirming this stuff to everyone. Telling Scirra they'll probably fail to reach blah blah number of users based on some random guy's experience is nonsense.

  • Even if it's not something you're going to make use of, can you not understand that others might see benefits from it and it's a nice to have feature?

    I'm gonna say no.. no, he can't.

  • Actually, it was THE reason I've spent them last time. Well, shame on me. Got lured/fooled by those:

    It didn't lie. You can publish everywhere. To be fair, the image didn't say it'd be EASY.

  • Will you pay us if the fix takes us longer than a week or month?

    > [quote:2jsl7k0f]But just one question, while the decision is already made, lets say this model of subscription don't work as intended, would you guys be whilling to reconsider it and go back to pay-once model? Or at least that kind of discussion between you could happen?

    >

    Well yes, if the model fails we'd of course have to re-evaluate otherwise we'd be fools!

    I hope that the subscription model fails miserably and so learn to listen to the community

    Ah, that's poor form. You shouldn't ever wish failure on anyone. It's easy to be bummed, but take a breather on that thinking.

    You keep your browser based app. I'm leaving.

    I hate this, i regret using this in the first place. I am cancelling my game for this sh**.

    I'm never going to visit this site ever again. I'm going Unity or GMS2.

    Haha that's what an online temper tantrum looks like
