Animator should be a part of Construct 3. It would be wrong to charge separately for something that could be a simple feature addition to C3 image editor. If you like to diversify your income, you should sell it as a different software with just the animation function, for animators.
Also it is told as an excuse that scirra works with a small team. I think there should be more developers included into this, as C3 still needs a dedicated team. I just exported a game, it failed, and in the log, it just says "Error".
Whenever i open a project after month, there is something or other to fix. it could be a plugin no longer supported, or new features affecting the old setup. A whole lot of developer's time gets wasted, guessing what went wrong? Sometimes it gets too overwhelming making simple changes.
I think there is still much work needed on ease of using the product. In a construct video ashley said something like Construct having a deceptively simple interface. It is, but deception does not go away even to familiar developers. It still needs much more cleaning.
I am not saying, scirra should not grow, but if you do, please make sure you have dedicated time for C3. I would recommend even more time than before, because now more than ever, game dreamers rely on C3.
