Open source cross-platform event-driven game engine 'GDevelop' now on itch, progressing well

As an avid Construct 2 user. I check Gdevelop from time to time to see if I can switch. Most of the time I revert back to Construct 2 due to it being more friendly and stable and feature rich. Guess it's time to check Gdevelop again.

Game engine Construct 3 adds a remote preview, new runtime is coming to improve game performance

Quoting: WendigoI had a quick look at it some time ago. The engine itself looks really nice but the subscription keeps me from using it.
As a mere hobbyist I'd be fine with buying a copy and using it for a couple of years even if a newer version is out. Paying a subscription for a software which I only use occasionally is a huge no go for me. I also dislike using an engine that gets taken away from me if the developer should suddenly disappear. All my projects would become useless all at once.

I was really excited when they announced that Construct3 would be available on Linux but after I saw the price model I decided to stick with GDevelop5 which has a completely rewritten IDE (Beta).

Can you share your experience with gdevelop comparing it to Construct 2?

This sucks. I also bought because a Linux port was announced.

The main issue I take with it is their funding model, having to pay monthly for software is not something I am fond of. I much prefer to pay once per major version, so I can use it for as long as I like. I do hope they offer that option at least.
Exactly my thoughts.
