I'll be getting it, probably in part because if any new runtimes are ever to be created (Xbox One, PS4, etc) then this will be the supported version. The Steam partnership is also something that's a great thing.
Love the Box2D supported movements, although I suspect we'll get a hell of a load of Angry Birds clones very soon.
I suspect that Fusion 2.5 is a sort of "testing ground" - I have a feeling that there's probably some code optimized for Fusion 3 (which is being recoded from scratch) - and that a few elements of Fusion 3's code are in 2.5 (with the majority of the code still being based on MMF2's framework.
I guess I can go along only for the steam achievements and to have my version stay supported by click-team as it seems like they are about to abandon the former version 2.0
It doesn't renew much that we couldn't do with Multimedia Fusion 2 as if you get the right mathematical formulas you can set up many of the movements and type of function for a character very easily... Mostly it seems an upgrade that ease it on starters more than an actual importance... I realized also that you cannot create executable files for a system that is lower in it's level then Windows XP
Under it's discount it will worth the upgrade since I would like to be supported further more with this software and get any update needed to it and I could share my status & progress with others on Steam as well so therefore, it worth's the discount for me.
They as well should had a Linux version.
That is too bad I cannot purchase a copy that works on multiple operating system platforms so I won't ever have to worry about upgrading my operating system as well.
Don't actually see anything worth it here. My main problem with MMF is that it's really difficult to debug things and it just doesn't follow a lot of programming techniques like constants and functions. Apparently, the Expression Editor has been upgraded a bit, but does it make that much of a difference?
Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
Does Fusion 2.5 have a new platform engine? Is it any good?
Thanks in advance.
It has a built-in physics engine. I haven't looked, but I think the built in platform movement is still there (and I'm going to assume it hasn't changed.)
2.5 is basically the same program except . . . . less right now. Some functions are added such as For Each loops and Create Object by name. The issue is that a lot of things aren't working properly. For example: You cannot save a list object in an external file. . . It just doesn't work. You also cannot use the Anaconda runtime. Oh . . .not to mention it crashes constantly. I've recoded the same one line 10+++ times because of the crashing.
They released a beta version that crashes slightly less, but it is still enough to make me not use it.
I'd say buy it so you can play around with it, but leave MMF2 on your computer at the same time.
I got it the other day, not had chance to play with it yet but got it before I forgot to use my discount code. The Physics stuff looks like it could be great but I'm gonna have to learn it properly if I'm to use it. Don't want anything to be half-assed in my new apps
If I use the early discount code on Fusion 2.5 and have the disc shipped to me as well, would I still have to pay the shipping charge as well, or just the $39?
I would see myself, but I'm concerned that I might not be able to reuse the code if I change my mind.

Physical Copy + Shipping costs extra. Physical copies start to ship in January.
I paid $46.99 total with my discount code with a physical copy shipped to Louisiana.
