Exporters and future plans

[schrodinger]

Time to get some exporters (maybe!)

Summer sale is really tempting, but I find myself asking:
how will Fusion3 behave in regard to exporters?
Will it need extra addons like now - or will they be embedded?

It's highly likely that I'll get my hungry hands on F3 soon after release
...so will this purchase carry over in some way to Fusion3 - or not?

I find current Clickteam upgrade policies very loyal,
if same or similar policies could be confirmed (discount on same F3 exporters)
I'd go more lightheartedly

I'd like working on other runtimes in future projects,
but it's going to be a six-months timespan minimum,
so in other scenarios I would consider waiting to get them...

Thank you and sorry for a somewhat "early" question on your future marketing plans
(and sorry if this has been already addressed somewhere else)

Too early to really say but we try to keep prices low.
I think the export modules will still be optional -- then a person can just pick the ones they want or need.

F3 is still a long time off -- We hope to have something concrete by the time GDC 2016 comes around in March.
Maybe then we could also project when it would be released so as you can see its a ways off

Thank you very much Jeff,
I find your prices tag & upgrade policies very reasonable and I hope in the future Clickteam will keep remaining on same line,
so that if exporters continue remaining optional even in Fusion3,
maybe who already has bought an exporter, will get an upgrade discount for the same exporter on F3.

From the other thread I was thinking about Fusion3 being "closer" in the future
-yet, obviously, speaking about 2016, It could also be 31st December -
I can barely guess how it can be difficult to have a solid time-line for such wide and complex projects,
and especially in software, where "evolving times" are so short that you may be forced to re-engineer something done just a couple of months before.

Ok...
I'd say I'm now justified enough to finally get my hands on some exporter
