Thanks for the positive words everyone, and yes it is a good boost to everyone at Scirra when we see posts like this! I really appreciate it.
I think in the past we've given a bit too much oxygen to non constructive posts - it's something we're starting to put a stop to at an earlier point in such threads as it doesn't do anyone any good. Again though I have to say, constructive posts are always welcome.
We enjoy engaging in the community, so no plans to stop that! In fact with since Laura joining us we're making much more of an effort to be connected.
Everyone in the team is working really hard, and has been for years. We've always been hesitant to give dates for releases/features as we don't want to over promise - but we always do deliver and I'm happy some of you recognise that. We've always also tried to be fair when making adjustments to our services/products to existing customers. Sometimes we make mistakes, but we always try our best to correct and learn from them.
There's lots of exciting stuff on the horizon (new runtime performance numbers look extremely exciting), and on the website front we're having a new full time dev join us at the end of April so there's plenty more to look forward to this year.
