A question of historical curiosity

I switched over Gdevelop from Clickteam Fusion 2.5 around the beginning of 2023, and haven’t looked back! The support and continual development is something Gdevelop has in great strides over Fusion 2.5. The biggest pain point in Fusion for me was an outdated and very limited HTML exporter, which is not an issue in the slightest for Gdevelop.

Upon switching over, I noticed that large aspects of both programs are very similar. The primary area of overlap is the events sheet - there are many conditions and actions that feel almost identical between the two. It’s one of the things that made my transition so easy - the muscle memory I built in Fusion 2.5 helped me get up to speed in Gdevelop with very little to learn from scratch.

SO - I’m curious about the early history of Gdevelop / Construct - did they and Fusion both stem from a “common ancestor,” so-to-speak? Are there people on the Gdevelop team who contributed to the development of Fusion, or vice-versa?

Me too, I would like to know the history of gdevelop.
