6. Construct 3

 

Construct 3 is again one of the web based game makers where all you need is in your browser. With that you always get the latest updates when you open it next time. The free versions has it's limits as always but of course you can go through a couple of tutorials without a problem.

 

Tutorial

 

Tutorial that I did is similar to the one done in the Game maker studio 2. So a top down shooter. The game was done a lot faster but there are less properties to define here as you can see in the playable version of the game below.

Interface

 

The interface is fairly simple with all the level building in the center while properties are on the left while the right is reserved for objects.

Events

 

Events are what defining the objects is called in Construct. They do feel fairly simple to define but again it gets simple over time. It's a bit more intuitive to me as all the game makes are using a similar code for definition which helps in speeding up the testing.

Pricing

 

Pricing is fairly simple with individual plans going from 8.26$ a month which amounts to 99$ a year. Not the cheapest one but at the same time not that expensive if you're making good games.

Showcase

 

In the site showcase there a couple examples of games while in the arcade section of the site you can find plenty more examples of games made by other people. 

 

Score

 

I think I'll start slowly repeating myself as there is not much new to say about the programs. Once again this is a good program for 2d platform games and the good thing is you can use it anywhere as it runs in your browser. Price again is based on a monthly fee which is not the best as you need to renew it and overtime it will become costly.
