CF 2.5 explained to a noob

[Citron]

Woaw! omg!

So to be able to have an Android app with ads, the total price would be:
€ 219,99 for CF 2.5 (Developers edition)
€ 69,99 for “Android Exporter for Clickteam Fusion 2.5”.
€ 18,33 for Android store signup

A total of € 308,31


And let's say I wanted the iOS and HTML5 exporter, then I could add:
€ 99,99 for the iOS exporter *not counting the Apple store signup
€ 59,99 for the HTML5 exporter

A new total of:
€ 468,29


I may look to other alternatives than Fusion 2.5...

Is it necessary to have all of those export modules immediately? You could just go with the dev version and then the necessary exporter such as Android. Then add what you need as you need it.

[Citron]

Well, "to have an Android app with ads", I will eventually need to pay the whole € 308.

This is asking too much, for a product where theres no demo or trail.

The free version is just around the corner (which is better than a demo), it's completely free to use. I can't shed any light on an ETA at this moment but it will be soon.

Free version will be available soon. Then you will be able to tell whether you want to upgrade or not.

Yes the free version of 2.5 soon

We do have the older version of the program and you can get that trial version right now.

The programming usage is pretty much the same.

Citron. We would hate to loose you, as CTF2.5 is the most powerful program for making applications and games. IMHO. For reals, there is no coding experience required and the ease of use is really great. You can do window applications and games until you can afford android.

Give the mmf2 demo a go, and if it tickles your fancy soon the f2.5 free version will be coming to see some new features. I just upgraded from mmf2 to f2.5 dev and added html5 and I feel it was totally worth it. Especially considering how active the forums are when you have questions and need insight. Youre not just getting the software but practically almost realtime answers to questions from other users.

DaveC 1 week wages at McDonalds certainly wont cover the price of the developer version, not even the standard one without any exporters, depending on where the person lives.

Well, DaveC is from Australia. According to that link, an Australian McDonald's employee could buy it after about 3 days of working.


Citron: Have you looked at some commercial games that were made in Fusion and other programs? That will give you a good idea of what it's capable of. It's certainly not the only program out there, but from what I've seen there aren't many others that are both easy to use and reasonably powerful, as Fusion is.

Just a quick point - before buying the exporters, why don't you just get MMF2.5 and see how you get on with it. Playing around with Klik and Play tells me that maybe you need to practice a bit making games before learning about the exporter limitations and working around them.
