Construct 3 Game Engine
Construct 3 is a javascript-based game engine that was designed for anyone to be able to use to make 2d games. Even if you do not know how to code, or if you are new to coding, Construct 3 is extremely capable of making a vast variety of different 2d games with pre-made functions, animations, sounds, textures, and anything else you would need to make a game. If this is your first experience with game development and don't know if it is for you yet, Construct 3 makes it easy to jump right in and get started at no cost to the user. In fact, you do not even need to install anything to get started. You can run the game engine and start creating directly from the browser in the construct 3 website(https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/free-trial). This is not the only way to use it, of course, you are able to download the engine and use it offline as well as save the files that you create.
An internet connection is required to validate your subscription if you have one and must be verified once every 7 days at least. However, if you are just using the free version, an internet connection will not be required after the initial installation. The list of supported web browsers includes Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge. The list of supported operating systems is shown below
While the most basic version of the engine is free, it is quite limited in what you can do and what you can use. In order to get the full experience of creating your own game, you will need to pay for a subscription. Different packages are available based on your needs whether that be for yourself, your business, or even as an educational tool. On a yearly basis, the prices range between $99USD — $399USD, the least being for an individual and the most for a business that makes over 50k a year. If you are serious enough about making a game to be able to sell it, you will have to pay for the subscription, or else you will be unable to as it is one of the many features included in the subscription. Other features include things like the ability to add more functionality, add more textual layers, or adding custom loading screens. for a full list of these differences, you can check out their packages here.
When you first open up a new project to work on, a simple and straightforward User interface will be presented which you can explore. This will be where you will be able to add images, sounds, backgrounds, and work on important features that you want included in your game. Games can be created to be played on the computer or a smartphone. The way you design a game to be played will depend on the platform you intend to release it on. The game engine contains many functions, textures, layouts and other things, but you are not limited to using just these premade features. If you are versed in javascript, you will have the ability to create your own functionality and anything else you could imagine for your games to make them diverse and unique.
