That is rather disappointing.. he doesn't seem to have did very much experimenting with Construct. The whole eventing system is going away with coder-friendly environment.. I'm an artist and I really love the logic-friendly environment.
I just think about "If this and this, then this and this" and it translate directly into a feature. I agree with him on some points, but it is sad that he is grouping Construct with the same user-friendliness as Game Maker or Unity.
Nevertheless, Cheers to that Ashley!
