Fusion 3.0? Could we have an update?

It has been 4+ years since Fusion 3.0 was announced. Here is a previous closed thread for this subject...

Yves said it was on "pause". Is it still?

don't expect anything before second semester 2020

Keep calm and use Fusion (2.5 or plus)

Don't worry, when we'll have news to share about Fusion 3, we'll do it. In the meantime just keep using Fusion 2.5, we're updating it continuously.

I know - I love that I only paid once for this software and get to keep using it, with free updates, forever. I don't need Fusion 3, I'm good.

Of course 2.5+ is way cooler than I thought it would be and I've only just briefly played around with it. You should've named it Fusion 3 undercover.

Outbuddies’ Switch port uses the F3 core engine, as do other ported Fusion games, it runs great and is real.

Not 100% exact, it's not 100% F3 core engine, it's a mix between F2.5+ and F3 engines. The 100% F3 engine can't directly play F2.5 apps due to compatibility issues (at least the current version - probably the final version too even if we're trying to minimize them).

Well, anyway the routines we developed for this mixed runtime will be in the full F3 engine, so F3 was not really 100% paused for 2 years, except for the development of the editor.

I'm happy you like it

Unfortunately this won't last, updating all the exporters has a huge cost (due to changes in browsers, operating systems, devices, etc). We're doing it for a long time in 2.5 because F3 was postponed, though when F3 will be released free updates will be probably for a more limited period, at least the exporters (or we'll release major updates more often, not sure yet).

Oh no! You mean you actually need money to stay in business, just like a normal business? That's tragic.
