Any chance of a cross-platform (i.e. Windows, Mac, Linux) web version?We might consider a Windows port if the Mac app is a big success, the main question is how we pay for it - we aren't confident that enough people would buy our app on Windows to pay for the cost of that port. We've toyed with the idea of doing it as a Kickstarter, actually - that would be a good way to see if there was enough interest.
We’d basically have to rewrite it in scratch, since most of our engine code is in C and that’s not really viable as a web programming language unless you’re an utter lunaticOr are there insurmountable licensing and/or performance issues?
What do you think of webassembly ? the way autocad does it for their web app. They were reusing their existing c++ code from their desktop app., since most of our engine code is in C![]()
A Kickstarter for a windows or web-based version is a great idea - I would certainly pay for it.Initially, yes - it's way, way easier to port an iOS app to Mac than to port an iOS or Android app to Windows. (our understanding is that a basic Mac port with Marzipan will pretty much just involve checking a box in Xcode and rebuilding) In fact there's a pretty good chance that 4.0 will be out on Mac before it's even out on Android
