Quote: "Wait, Wat.... Studio 2 .... did I miss something?
Don't think I've seen anything about a Studio 2. Does seem a bit too soon for a Studio 2."
When Studio was announced/released TGC told they can no longer sustain the current business model of asking for money once and then provide free updates for years and they are considering to release new paid version more often like every 12 months or so. Each new paid version would bring new features. So then in the survey they asked for opinion what new features we would like to see and if we could pre-order it. They did not say it but the fact they asked if we could pre-order It , implies a new paid version aka Studio 2 is in the planning phase right now and personally I expect an official announcement within the next 6 months, by end of this year or early next year. But personally I really don't want to wait that long to find out what new features are coming.
Quote: "What were the results of the survey can you link to it here?"
I can't find the news letter maybe it was just an email for those who did fill out the survey? Not sure I though it was a news letter.
Anyway, they told the most popular request was
3D level editor
Visual shader editor
2D level editor improvements
Features of Classic that prevent users to switch from Classic to Studio (I'm guessing it is IDE staff)
I think, but I'm not 100% sure because I have deleted the email but maybe they did also mentioned media protection too.
Finally they told there was even more features requested "that is going to keep us busy" which I am really not happy with, I really want to know for certain if any of my requests and suggestions that I have also posted on GitHub did make it on their to-do list finally or not.
Quote: "Can we not get the current one at a better place first?"
I'm sure TGC continue to support Studio with bug fixes and improvements but new features are coming in new paid versions, at least this is what they implied which personally I am fine with as long we are well informed what we can expect and when exactly but so far they are keeping us in the dark. We never know what to expect and when and I am really tired of that.
