Storyline 4 dates
We may have to switch to Captivate. The fact that there are no plans for Storyline 4 with perpetual pricing is concerning.

My e-learning developer journey started with Captivate. But due to some geographical restrictions I could not upgrade without a local dealer, Also, one thing they have not resolved is the absence of partial scoring for fill-in-the-blanks. So, I used iSpring Quizmaker on combination with Storyline 3. But, then iSpring went cloud-based and the subscription cost is prohibiting. So, I have been working with Storyline 1,2, and now 3. Switching to 360 would not be possible due to the subscription cost - it is really geared towards companies and larger-scale enterprises. I am just one freelancer and do not have the volumes of commission needed to afford such subscriptions. Storyline 3 and hopefully 4 would be the best solution in terms of features and costs and the level of output. However, I do agree that if Storyline 4 does not come out, there is really one option only - go back to Captivate, possibly "2021" However, it takes them ages to roll out new versions as well. There are of course things like Active Presenter, but the adoption process would be difficult.
