Keep in mind that with any product, there usually are bugs to work out... overall, I believe the IOS exporter is a very stable platform. Even with the bugs I've experienced, I'm still quite happy with the product. Fusion 3 is a total re-write, which is a major task. I believe we'll see Clickteam members become more responsive in the VERY near future. I know I had my own complaints, but the big picture shows a bright future for all of us.
Why wouldn't clickteam just update all this stuff to the latest compatibility fix... even without the additional features...
Just fix the bugs, the issues, and some minor stuff Right Away... I would be so happy... we all would...
Just please don't let clickteam be left behind by other engines... Just make your customers happy, these are the same people who would likely Buy Fusion 3.
It's really hard to trust Fusion 3 if 2.5 was left behind too much, coz it gives the impression of Fusion 3 being left behind also after a year or two, or just painfully slow engine development, either way it's sad.
I like Fusion, I've used it ever since, It's my first love, I earn with it, it's somehow great; but if my freaking game breaks and crashes, and I cannot easily export, also waited for ages for an update fix...
I might need to move on... I don't want to move onDon't die on me
Exactly...It's really hard to trust Fusion 3 if 2.5 was left behind too much
I agree also...
Gents, in order to help F3 development I will start to help anders in iOS, but please give me some time to get wet in this.

... new things are coming ...
wpd & tom79: I find it hard to swallow what you are saying here. Fusion 2.5 is basically a feature upgrade from MMF2. This makes it a product that has been around for at least 8 years (when I began using MMF2). To say F3 would not have a decent lifespan doesn't make sense. And to say F2.5 should be supported longer, well, can you name another creative tool that has lasted that long with support from it's parent company? From what Jeff told me, there are plans to support Clickteam products for 5 or more years whenever a license deal is signed with any educational institution. But this means that the products will be serviced and repaired when faced with OS incompatibility or something similarly catastrophic. Asking any company to simply keep polishing and adding features to a very old product is just silly. Regardless of what you might want, this is the nature of ALL software, excluding open source or collaborative online software development (which F2.5 is not).
I think you need to accept the reality that you are using a very mature product that has a long history of evolving and improving. But those "improvements" MUST end in order for Clickteam to make their next product the best it can be. We are at the transition period now, so work on F2.5 is going to trickle off. If a Kickstarter can be worked out, maybe there will be one last big feature push, but with limited resources, Clickteam can only do so much without additional staff.
Absolutely correct. It must end but I think the community need a working version 2.5 while waiting years for a working version 3. When was the last iOS exporter update?... There are people here who make a living using such software who can not wait years of interruption.But those "improvements" MUST end in order for Clickteam to make their next product
Also you have to see the lifespan of 2.5 and the exporters separated from the lifespan of 2.0 and older.
If a company advertises a new upgraded software version with more features and addons they should update it regularly but the above-average bugs from the beginning of 2.5 (especially in the exporters) combined with the irregular and slow updates compared to the competition (besides the android exporter thanks to Fernando) and the unannounced stop of updates for the iOS exporter for this long time period does not create trust regarding competence in team and time management as well as communication skills.
That's also my opinion. Adding features is silly. I wrote it in another thread. But fixing bugs regularly for an adequate time is an essential condition.adding features to a very old product is just silly
That's also correct but clickteam could have additional staff. The kickstarter idea shows that people would pay them more money to get things done (and fixed) more quickly. Now see above... "competence in team and time management as well as communication skills" The market does not wait for us developers.Clickteam can only do so much without additional staff.
@Fernando Good news!I will start to help anders in iOS, but please give me some time to get wet in this.
Fernando YOUR THE MAN!!!Originally Posted by Fernando
Dive in & soak it up!
lol @ Shinbaxter
But yes, that's great news Fernando
So most people here like the idea of Kickstarting Clickteam Fusion....
Well why not do the PRE-PURCHASE method...
Everyone who wants to support will pre-purchase Fusion 3... probably get owner's lounge access or something or not
whatever it is, people wanted to see something
