    Unfortunately there are some features we're using that simply would take far far too long to refactor. For example, CSS grids are a new browser feature we use for the entire layout of the editor. Grids are designed specifically for this usage in mind, and if we wanted to make it an optional feature we'd end up with div soup.

    I understand your point entirely, but there was a tradeoff here, supporting organisations/users with older browsers, or reduced development time and easier maintenance. Historically we've always gone for #2.

    I have several computers, some are managed, meaning they cannot be updated to the main version until they pass strict testing controls. Often, this means they are 10, even 20 updates behind. 99% of the time, they are not on the latest version, unless there was a huge critical security flaw that needs patching.

    If C3 cannot be used on older chrome versions, with no bypass option, this is a huge oversight. I find it hard to believe they would eliminate the corporate world from using C3...I will wait for feedback. I suspect this is just a beta thing, because there is a warning message that implies you can still use it. The ability to however, is not turned on it seems.

    Construct 3 is built for now and the future, using bleeding edge features.

    I would also argue that an organisation not allowing updates to browser is a pretty backwards security policy. Unfortunately you'll have to wait for them to allow updates.

    There is a bug in Chrome detection, try clicking "Launch Anyway" if you are up to date.

  • We've reduced the free edition limits in C3 from C2. Our numbers were showing not enough C2 users were converting to paying customers so we're making an adjustment here.

  • What aspects of the usage specifically are you not enjoying? It's important for us to find out to see if we can improve it. Is it just the fact it's in the browser, or anything specific?

    It's up! Only about 1-2 hours later than we anticipated which is pretty good for a product launch!

  • Getting near, don't worry! Probably another 1-2 hours.

  • We've said we'll keep updating C2 as we have been for the last year or so.

  • We plan to continue selling C2 don't worry. Will give big heads up if that ever does change but don't think we'd ever want to stop selling it!

  • Two of our competitors have been around since the 1990's, in comparison Construct Classic was released in 2007. They've had an 8 to 16 year head start. It's only a matter of time for us to get more commercial success made in Construct, and don't see any technical reason there can't be more.

    [quote:356wfmjo]Well, a lot of the competition also has real console export alongside native export to desktop, a few of them also have much larger and older communities meaning more resources / purchasable assets and skilled talent if you need to hire team members.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but only GM has a larger and more active community than us as far as I can tell. (FWIW, be wary of "Users online" counters. Some forums will count users active in the last 15 minutes, others for much longer periods. Post count is probably one of the better measurements).

  • Sure you can do whatever you want

  • Yep Stay tuned for the announcement today.
