I still say they hire a new coder guy, or manager. It's not like they're not earning heaps from MMF2 as it is.
It's films/movies that get progressively worse the longer they go on... not programs!

Sometimes it's programs, too... Take Winamp for example. Or AIM!

Er, not that I'm trying to say Click products should become worse...

Realplayer.

But klik's not actually getting worse, it just hasn't improved significantly in ten years.

MMF has improved much, even the step from MMF1.5 to MMF2 was OK, but it wasn't good enough. For the years that CT has been working on MMF2, it contained too little improvements and new additions. While MMF2 has some great improvements all the things that should have been in MMF years ago, still aren't and that's a shame.

Construct seems to get all the features that MMF2 already has and those that MMF2 is missing and that is dangerous for CT if they don't act and do what they need to do.

I don't think the step up with MMF2 was that small, I mean, we got alpha channel sprites, new ink effects, much better interface and quite a lot of cool new stuff. But I think MMF 1.75 would have been a more fitting title. People can go on about clickteam and say they never implement the features we want, but there are only two of them and they have regular jobs. So they effectively have to write MMF2 in their free time.

I think that's their trouble really. If they wanted to make MMF a big thing, they could get together a team of programmers, and they would easily kick construct's ass. Maybe they are just used to the way they work on the code.

If they write it in their free time, no wonder it's not improved in an age. If they gave up their jobs I reckon they could code something mint, but if they're unprepared to do that then it's our loss as well as theirs.

Yes I am pretty sure they have regular jobs aswell as doing clickteam. I think Jeff said it once on the clickteam boards.

Yves & Francois and another guy work full-time for Clickteam. Jeff may work part-time, but he's not a programmer, he's at the US offices or perhaps better stated he is the US office.

MMF2 took so long because a lot of time was wasted on Jamagic and MMF2 was written from scratch.

If they wrote it from scratch, why did they make it the same as MMF1?

they probably tried to make it a bug free version of mmf. By coding it better.

I'm not really sure if it's less buggy than mmf because i never owned it, but it's more stable than tgf ever was for me.
