I know what feature GMS2 has
I already bought it since the day 1 along with the exports! I'm just saying that a lot of the features GMS2 "has" are yet to come!!
I can see this from two different perspectives:
1) If in GMS2 things were "redesign from ground up", why not have already variable real-types, or real methods. Why implement something bad to after add it re-redesign it again? If things were kept from GMS1.4 then it is not totally new system ... so:
2) If only the IDE was redesign and GML stayed much like it was then: the core system, the compiler and the runner didn't really change that much so it is not a new software, just a new IDE and the exporters shouldn't have to be fully bought.
What I mean is that the big changes were within the IDE and not the runner or GML.. and the runner ones are yet to come...
The price I paid for GMS2 and all the exports were a leap of faith ... in the future!
I'm not saying I want a refund... I just ask for some more information...
More than a list that says all the features in it can be removed without further notice.
As far as I'm concerned GMS2 was already released, people already bought it.. so if tomorrow YoyoGames says "nothing in the list will be added" they are in their right!!
And I wouldn't be that happy.
I wouldn't say: "ohhh they added a lot of features and it is all worth it"... because right now the price is not worth it, not yet! it will be in the future but right now... I don't think so
EDIT::
The debugger, the regions, the gestures events, the mipmaps... were not even there when the software was released hence the "leap of faith" I was talking about...
