From The Blog: Corona Roadmap 2017

Its great to see a roadmap at last and I love the sound of some of the features you plan to add.  I was really worried about the future of Corona after the last buyout and the long radio silence but this looks positive and hopefully you can rescue the product :slight_smile:

You can deploy to Android TV and tvOS today in 1080p. I believe there are community plugins that help with GameCenter on tvOS.

I could be wrong but most Corona developers are probably still targeting mobile devices where 1080p (1920x1080) is the high end of their graphics support. Getting to 3840 × 2160 will take time.

I made a plugin for gamecenter and iap for tvOS, iOS, and macOS. Both are now free. Please see update for more details

Hi, any news about “Revenue-share based AdMob plugin”???

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Erich Grüttner D.

Our engineers are still working on it.

Rob

Thank you Rob!

I’ll keep waiting, no problem…  :wink:

Best regards,

  • Complete support of builds for HTML5.

Will we be able to make facebook games with html5 support?

It’s too early to answer that question, but Facebook is a large audience and it makes sense to build games there and HTML5 is the technology. I just don’t know what work is needed to bridge Facebook to HTML5. We will learn more as we resume work on it.

Rob

The capability to build to HTML 5 is VERY VERY EXCITING. Just wanted to say thanks for re-starting work on this!

Thanks Corona Team!

Hi. Looking to update an app built with the previously free admob plugin. I believe the revenue sharing model (scheduled for Q2) would be the best option for me by far but it seems to be delayed. Could you offer any hints as to when it may be released? It would help me make a decision about wether I should wait or pay for the existing plugin.

Thanks, Carl

Let me see what I can find out.

We have some technical hurdles our engineers are trying to overcome. We believe we’ve gotten past one of those hurdles. We don’t like to give out dates as they tend to get treated as promises instead of estimates but it’s at least a month away. If everything goes well, hopefully it will be in that time frame.

Rob

Thanks Rob. Great to get such a fair and timely response to questions.

Carl

Great news on the tile engine. How’s that going? Any news idea when you guys might get that out?

Keep up the good work.

We don’t have an ETA yet.

Rob

Hello Corona,

I know its a tough question, but would you be able to give an update on your roadmap ? If for example you know that some items will slip from one quarter to another, it would be nice to know. It happen so many times in development, I know, been there, still there :), and for us to know in advance we can manage expectation and don’t ask the same question again :slight_smile:

Best,
Nick

We are getting ready to put out a new public release. We can probably update the roadmap sometime afterwards.

Rob

Excellent news, thank you Rob.

When we could try the alpha or beta release of “HTML5 build” support?

Our engineers are very actively working on this.  We don’t have a time line. There is a lot to put together.
