Interesting... does Construct Classic require a direct X download? My laptop that I play game jam games on (out of paranoia of downloading random exes to my computer, lol) won't run this one. It wants me to download an old Direct X package. This laptop is already at it's wits end, so I'm hesitant to download more.

Interesting that you've stuck with classic! I'm still on Construct 2, but seriously thinking of giving into 3. C2 has some weird crashes, usually annoying... but occasional so bad that it destroys the whole project file! (I backup A LOT while I'm working)

Anyway, the game looks really cool! I wish it would run on my laptop.

Yeah, it needs DirectX 9.0c, the June 2010 version. It's totally fine to use DirectX 9, so no worries, haha.

I don't know why I've been using Classic all this time, to be honest. It's really buggy, and it has some serious memory leak problems. It's like using an old laptop that's running Windows 2000 - its last update was 10+ years ago, and most modern software break or just downright don't work - but man, it just keeps on chugging along. XD

C2 does have some quirky bugs, but I think it's much more reliable than CC. Make anything larger than a jam game with the latter, and you'll find yourself closing and reopening it every 15 minutes. As for C3, I don't think I can ever afford that SAS model they're using. Sad for me. ):

Thanks! DirectX 9.0c is totally safe, so you should try the game out! :D

I do hate subscriptions, I'm with you there, ;-;. That's why I've been holding out. But they've been adding tons of great new features, so if I even get "serious" about making a game, I may need to bite the bullet. I'll see what I can do about getting Directx going so I can give it a play!
