I swear, this is no joke. Yes, it's real, possible, and still economical to port projects to console or native platforms cheaply while retaining quality. The key lies in the consolidation of work and the expectation of limitations. With an automated native builder, we can already port projects using built-in Construct 3 features, and we'll gradually progress with feature inclusions through updates. However, for high-stakes or complex projects, a tailored approach is ideal: a native custom builder personalized for a specific project. This compromise allows us to offer cheap and extremely cheap options without jeopardizing quality and performance. Plus, the cost scales with the utilized features of a project. The costs are also inherently low due to the consolidation of the work. All projects, including our own, are processed and tested at the same time. This also improves the native builder as more features are accommodated and shared by all contributors.

These are both native porting builder services for the Construct 3 and Construct 2 engines that allow game projects to run on a native runtime instead of a WebView. The Automated Builder Service is a yearly subscription tied to an account hosted on our website, and it's much cheaper. The trade-off for its lower price is that its features are limited to (and checked only for) consolidated features implemented for all projects. Initially, this includes most features of the Construct 3 engine and others based on the achieved Kickstarter funding goal. Eventually, gradual progressive updates and the contributions of supporters will lead to support for more features. Meanwhile, the Tailored Porting Service is a local custom builder application we provide, designed specifically for a certain project. Thus, it supports more features personalized to the project's specifications, at the expense of a higher cost. For high-stakes or complex projects, this is the ideal solution.

That's great! We recommend getting either the "Small Studio" reward for projects using only standard supported Construct 3 features, or "Publisher" for large projects using common plugins. For complicated projects, such as those for high-stakes publishing, or ones using many common or uncommon third-party plugins, or even scripting, also get the "Complex Porting" add-on.

That's alright, we had that in mind. The answer is the same as the one for the question, 'I want to port my existing Construct 3 project to consoles'. Additionally, you'll also need to get the 'Construct 2 Game' add-on. The reason for having that as a separate add-on is because of a distinct building process and separate supported plugins for such projects.

That's great! If you've just started and are planning to begin your project upon the release of the Construct Pro service, then the "Professional" or, ideally, the "Indie Developer" reward will suffice. This, in turn, will give you access to the Construct Pro automated build service for native porting. The reason why this is only preferable for new projects is so that you can adjust your project to the limitations of the automated build service and its gradual progress. However, if the limitations are too significant, you can always upgrade to our Tailored Porting Services: the "Small Studio" and "Publisher" rewards.

That's alright; we had that in mind. The answer is the same as the one for the question, 'I want to port my new Construct 3 project to consoles.' However, please keep in mind that with the Construct Pro automated native builder, Construct 2 native support will only be available if its corresponding Kickstarter goal is reached. In any case, you can always upgrade to our Tailored Porting Services: the 'Small Studio' and 'Publisher' rewards. With these, we will provide you with a custom native builder for your specific project.

No, you can always visit us again to claim your item(s) or reward(s), as they are consumable and do not expire.

For example, if you bought a "Publisher" reward and, after release (even two years later when you've finally finished your game and are ready to build, test, and publish for consoles), you can still avail your reward indefinitely, regardless of price changes.

Basically, if you get your reward without claiming it, it's implied that you've simply paid for a reservation and locked in the current extremely discounted price.

No problem! We're willing to work with your publishers. They'll also be glad that the costs are extremely reduced with our cheap but quality porting services.

No, sorry.

On release, it will still be cheaper than most porting services due to automation. However, our prices are exceptionally lower right now due to the consolidation of work during this Kickstarter goal.

The shared processing, contributory factors, and efficient allocation of labor all significantly contribute to these deeply discounted prices.

It is incredibly cheaper to get this reward even if your game is to be released years from now, since the price is locked upon purchase, the reward does not expire, and the service is consumable.

Yes, you can. There will simply be an increase in the reward cost per item. This is suitable for those who don't want to miss out on the offers but also don't want to support if their desired goal isn't reached. However, be careful: if everyone thinks alike, we won't reach any goals. � (Hahaha)

Yes, sure.
