Today we start “the subscription era” at Kwiksher. After more than two years selling Kwik in a perpetual license model, it is time to follow the industry and move on into the subscription model. I do recognize that subscriptions may not be the preferred model for many of you, after all we are so accustomed with the traditional “buy once and use until it is possible to use”. Although this approach still work for most software, this not fit the mobile area and, consequently, Kwik. Not trying to bother anyone with technical details, fact is Kwik is a code generator for Corona, which is a code generator for Objective-C and Java….

What can you expect about Kwik “Next”?
As promised, I would like to give you an update on the planning/designing/developing phases of Kwik “Next” (there is not final name yet for Kwik’s major update, coming in the last quarter of this year). Before anything else, I am assuming you read my last posting about Kwik and Corona and know already that Kwik “Next” will still be available for Corona SDK only. What are the major goals for Kwik “Next”? I have set 3 main goals for the next major release. They are: Phase 1) Code Infrastructure: Some of you probably noticed that large projects may stuck when pages have more than 200 layers/variables (a limitation from Lua). Some…
Version 2.5, ending of support for Kwik 1 and Kwik “Next”
Today I am releasing version 2.5, which brings several improvements and new features for sprite sheet use, Android deployment and several others, mostly coming from your suggestions thru the forums. Thanks for helping to shape Kwik! Taking advantage of this posting, I would like to make a few other announcements: End of support for Kwik 1 Starting now, support for Kwik 1 is officially ended. The number of Kwik 1 users is too low at this moment and requests of support are very rare (most users migrated to Kwik 2 or stopped to use Kwik 1). Also, it has been 9 months since the latest update. Adding to it, several…
