Scirra Construct Scirra.com has announced in an Open letter to the Construct community forums they will be releasing the eagerly awaited pre-alpha version of Construct 2.0 for public preview this weekend. Not much has been said about it yet but it promises to be a marked improvement over the original construct program and to quote “a totally modular export system, which means we can adapt it to new technologies for years to come “.
Construct 2 will not be backwards compatible with CAP files created in 0.xx release versions but was something that was expected with a new software architecture in C2.
Exciting times ahead now that they are going to focus on the C2 while granting access to continue 0.x releases to any interested developers.
It’s looking like it will continue to be free at this stage. There will be plenty of buzz over the weekend.
Construct is a voluntary based project with people contributing in their spare time.
