This is almost how Sketch for mac is priced. $99 and free upgrades for 2 years. After that, you can choose to upgrade by renewing your subscription but you still own the previous version.

Well, this is one consolation for sure. I just hope updates include some much-needed features.

Seeing as we have a C3 beta date.

I've seen first hand the cost of running servers for Apps and scaling prices. It's going to be a huge drain on monetary resources for scirra to maintain a service like this. I don't think it would be feasible or fair to ask them to re-consider their pricing model.

As disappointed as I am, it is a decision that was taken years ago and a lot of work must have been put into creating this. I remember when GDevelop introduced their web service(free but also kept a native app) and my arguments were almost the same as they are now. The web is prone to crashes and takes bandwidth which is a huge deal where the Internet is not cheap. Also, they feel clunky to use.

I think construct deserves the money they ask and I have no problem paying it but I'm a casual developer who likes to create prototypes for the fun of it and not owning the software really bums me out. And to cover the cost of the servers they need to use these web service the money they are asking is justified so I'm just disappointed here. Feels like I lost a skill. No blame to the devs, it's just been a bad first day of Feb for me. First, the girl I like in the office left and now Construct moved to web and subscription model. It's just been a sad sad day.

Everything that I hoped not to find was here. I'm very disappointed. I might buy to try it for the first year but since its browser based - I'm not very happy about that.

Waiting eagerly for this!

Hi,

I think this has been requested a few times but is never implemented. Every time I import a sprite this is something I have to struggle with (I hope there are other who also face this issue).

This would greatly increase the workflow as users won't have to go back and forth to an image editor or a calculator to get the dimension right.

I can provide examples if needs be to show what I mean.

I'd like to know more about this.

This is my No. 1 issue with the editor. I've to start illustrator to calculate this every time I need to resize a sprite. Please make this happen. It will help make the entire workflow much more faster. Also, Please include a similar mechanism in the property bar.

Thanks again — I'll check the file after I update my copy of C2 tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time and helping me out.

Thanks again mahdi71, These tutorials are great.

I'll try to recreate this to learn some basics after that I'll try to see of there is any way I can create a server on mobile devices.

I still have to see how viable it will be since the official documentation says it only supports text message. Let's see.

Thanks for the reply chadorireborn. The text box thing was just an example.

I tried what you suggested but I think I've messed it. I've never been able to use loops properly in c2 ever.

I've created a dummy file with your codes and some alternative codes that make it do what I want but I really want to learn how to use these conditions to save on variables and code repetition.

If you guys have some time please take a look at it.

Thanks
