Hello

So I been wondering that if I upgrade to pro now, that gives me 12 months, the new engine is released around feb - march hopefully.

This gives me a few months left with pro till I want to upgrade again.
It is said that pro users get access to new engine when publicly released, will I be eligable to use the new engine?
Are there other side fees involved with this new engine ect?
Just some general facts that would be useful thanks :)

Cheers
Elfizm

    If you are going to purchase pro now then on new engine release no need to upgrade again. I am also waiting to go for Pro once new engine arrives... :)

    the only known facts about the new engine that we currently know is that it it will most likely be pro only, and it's due out early next year. Don't hold the exact date too tight as it might slip.

    If you need the other features of pro, upgrade now and use them.

    Thank you, I am holding of releasing until new engine as the game doesn't feel or play good when you have to wait for simple things. I understand the date can and could change, but I just wanted to insure I am not paying for pro now, find out three months later and now have addition cost and pro doesn't matter so much ect.

    I am also intending using the features needed from pro as well, but my main concern was pricing.

    So the main question was and I think it was answered, going pro now means I should have access to new engine without further cost?

    Cheers

    Having pro means having access to the new engine, yes. :)

    Assuming the native engine ever comes out (it's been promised for a LONG, LONG time).

    Yeah I know it's been promised, I have been here since the original announcement of it way back and when they showed the demo of danger cats.

    So at that stage it was said it wouldn't take too long, so I went and started making my game without too much optimization, hence levels aren't on the sane scene.
    So that's good to know they should charge any side fee :) thanks

    Cheers

    Maybe a stupid question but when it's available, do you have to remake a whole game or can you just convert it? :\">
