Construct 3

Quick and comfortable game development

주석: I've used Construct 3 to develop short and sweet web games, and the process has proved fast, easy and efficient. I'm currently using the software to develop a larger commercial game, and the experience has proved to be smooth as the sole programmer during these first couple of months of development.

장점:

Construct 3 is clean and simple to use. When developing my own games, I can quickly add new levels and features without much fuss. I've taught game development to high school students using C3, and they have no problems learning how to use the software. It is in active development, and frequently receives updates with bug fixes, new features, and suggestions from the community. The community on Discord is very helpful, and frequently share example templates and addons/effects that extend Construct's functionality. With the addition of javascript scripting, it's very easy to mix block based logic and actual code in a project, and you can implement external javascript libraries to extend your project. The HTML5 focus makes it easy to share your projects with others via features like remote preview or simply through the fast export process.

단점:

The quirks of how project and object files make it hard (but not impossible) to use in larger teams. Despite regional pricing, the monthly or annual subscription plans can be expensive for students or hobbyists, and the free version is limited. It's a bit hard to suggest more complex yet interesting features without them being shot down due to them being "too complex" or the underlying systems "delicate and with a lot of moving parts". The asset store hasn't been properly moved to the current website, so a lot of good paid addons for Construct 3 are scattered about in places like itch.io. Feature-wise and in export options, it doesn't compete with the big engines like Unity or Unreal. There are addons that hack around this, but the program focuses solely on 2D.

Best 2d Game engine to start with game development.

주석: Construct 3 is very good, very easy to use and support a lot of features, Its actually the best to use for browser games making (html5 games), but it doesn't stop at that you can actually export you games to Desktop/Mobile and other markets as well. I definitely recommend it if you want to make 2d games (It also support 3d btw but as a 2d game developer never tried it)

장점:

I tried other games engines (Unity and Godot) it was really hard to make anything, Construct 3 was a game-changer for me. Its intuitive interface and drag-and-drop features made everything so clear and accessible. Suddenly, complex mechanics I imagined were popping up in my games with ease. Whether you're a complete beginner or a professional developer, Construct 3 has everything you need to bring your game ideas to life. this tool empowers anyone to turn their wildest game dreams into reality. Also no setup or code needed from any where you can just open the website access your account and start making games.

단점:

I just love everything about construct 3, they keep updating and improving the software with features that make construct better so no cons.

A powerful game development software.

주석: Development of game has been made easier for me without any sort of coding since i started using this powerful software even as a non professional. I am a satisfied user.

장점:

I can easily create game and develop it to what suits me and what i vision out in a game, that is what this software has been able to do for me which is very much rare. No sort of coding is required when i use it to create the game of my choice. Easy and simple interface to work with. Affordable price rate for me and i did not experience any form of glitch while playing the game. Great animation it got and its drag and drop feature has been helpful when i was developing the game i used it to create.

단점:

It does exactly what i expected it to do during development of games so i have not encounter any problem using this software.

Useful for those who can’t code

주석: Very poor customer support. I cannot recommend Construct 3 due to this. Save your money and learn to program properly!

장점:

Easy to use. User friendly for beginners.

단점:

Construct 3 suffers from a lack of support. Scirra are focused on introducing new features to Construct 3 constantly so users see the value of what is a rather pricey subscription. The downside to this is that they don’t prioritise fixing issues when they arise. I am an app developer and I was alerted by a user to an issue with one of my apps that resulted from a broken IAP component in Construct 3. This issue was potentially costing me money. I complained about the issue on Scirra’s forums. The issue affected numerous other developers, not just me. An issue was raised on github do that it could be fixed. Well it took over a year to fix. For such an important element that impacts on users ability to make money from Construct 3 you would think they would have given priority to fixing it. Apparently not so. This really left a bad taste in my mouth. As a result of Scirra’s inability to offer an appropriate level of support to their subscribers I ended my subscription. I began coding in Swift instead and have since shipped two apps written in Swift. Using a proper programming language makes you realise how limited Construct 3 really is. If you wish to make good games fo yourself a favour and learn to program in a proper language. Your games will be more professional and will be optimised and will run better. A programming language simply offers more flexibility than something like Construct 3 ever could.

Innovative and Easy to use gaming tool

주석: It is a great hassle free game development with amazing support.
Also i like how it have built in solutions for problems that you may encounter while using it.

장점:

It makes game creation easy for non programmers.

단점:

It is easy to use and very helpful, so no dislike.

Easily one of the best no code engines out there.

주석: Overall I have great fun when working on projects which is very importent otherwise whats the point.

장점:

I loved that if I wanted to take on the programming route construct has TypeScript support for me.

단점:

I don't like that construct has support for a 3D object but only supports basic shapes and not custom models that can be imported from blender or other 3D modeling software.

My review about Construct 3

주석: When it comes to 2D game creation c3 is an amazing platform that offers an easy, quick way of designing games through its offered in-app templates. Highly recommended to users without in-depth knowledge about coding. It makes 2D game creation a walk in the park after just a few practice with the platform.

장점:

I can boldly say that i haven't experienced any bug or errors since I have been engaging with this platform. Detailed knowledge in coding is also not a must when using this platform. One of its most unique feature is also its highly interactive community that has helped in guiding new users in its usage. Its also offers easy prototyping which makes game creation done in quick time.

단점:

This platform has met and exceeded all my expectations, I don't have any issues at all with this platform.

A easy to use game developing tool even without any coding.

주석: Construct 3 makes game development really easy for me, with or without any line of code involved

장점:

Construct 3 lets me easily create and develop games with smooth animations without coding. It's simple interface and the drag and drop features makes this possible. It also supports typescript of which I use to include codes anytime I feel like it

단점:

I didn't experience any glitches while using construct 3

All about construct 3

주석: Lots of good, easy-to-use features as made this platform the first go-to choice that I will recommend especially to beginners and high schoolers just starting out their game development.

장점:

Being able to easily create and teach game development to even non-coders is a major advantage of this platform. Simplified user interface, easy accessibility from any device as long as there's internet access , a supportive discord community with an easily exportable program makes C3 one of the top choice recommendation in its field.

단점:

No negative experience with any features at all on this platform, it has been a wonderful experience since my implementation of the program.

A review about construct 3

주석: Highly recommended especially to those just starting out in game development as this easily is the best 2D game development platform out there.

장점:

Being able to develop small mobile games easily exported to various platforms without the need for an in-depth knowledge about coding makes this platform one of the best there is out there. One of the most interesting features that I also like about this platform is the quick response of the technical team in resolving my complaints and whatever issues that I had during the process of using the platform.

단점:

No gripe or any bad experience with any of the features present in this app.

Construct 3 is an amazing product for virtually anyone making 2D games

주석: I love Construct and am a proud user of it. I encourage people who I know are interested in learning game development or are looking for new tools to check it out. I'm an unpaid evangelist for the platform and have worked with companies to consider supporting it more explicitly. This has unfortunately been difficult to do as an unofficial voice for the platform, but I still like trying to make sure monetization options out there at least know about Construct to consider it down the road.

장점:

Construct lets me prototype new ideas very quickly and get things moving fast. helps me evaluate an idea rapidly to either discard it, pursue it or improve it. The software is very stable. I can't think of the last time I experienced anything that was a legitimate bug. Constant updates / patches and improvements are clear signs of a project that's thrive.

단점:

I honestly can't think of any Cons about the software as is, however I do have two points that I believe Construct could do better in and would make the platform even more powerful, populare and profitable for their users: I wish they would make inroads to 3D game development. While I know 3D introduces new complexities, I'm not convinced I see how adding a Z axis and a 3d view would not still work with the same core logic and rules of Construct. HTML5 can be used to produce hi quality 3D games with other tech using the same core javascript language. Even if it were light 3D stuff at first like making a game like crossy roads.. i mean come on. Construct 3(D!) :) I would also like to really see a concrete solution from Construct to make it easier for HTML5 web games to be monetized. There are ways, but they are very much "you figure it out" solutions that as a non-programmer pretty much make it a non starter. Mobile is super saturated and finding success in it gets harder and harder. Web while not having it's own challenges would still open up a lot of new genres and possibilities. Or perhaps working closely with a strong platform like Kongregate. I would love to develop games for browser for PC like a nice RPG that would be browser based.. but at this time I find the options not feasible as a Construct user.

Construct 3 is more than a yearly subscription game engine

주석: The price offered to me includes: fast prototyping, optimized HTML5 exports, an awesome community, interesting example resources, saving unlimited games in Construct 3 cloud, remote preview features, multiplayer feature to try and looks easy to use, regular releases of new Construct 3 versions with features not supposed to be broken once published, and be able to work on any computer at any time without downloading the engine? I'm sold.

장점:

My pros from my OWN opinion focusing on HTML5 game development:-This is WAY easier to prototype games. From me, the one-man team using GameMaker for years (GML only), nothing I tried so far was faster than Construct 3.-The remote preview is a must when I want to test a game on a physical phone in real conditions without handling a hard setup first.-The example browser is RICH of content when you don't know where to start.-The preview build is done in a few seconds, this is the future we wanted.-I was shocked when exported my first Construct 3 game in a zip file (to host it on my favourite game hosting platform). With GameMaker, there was a mess of unnecessary files each time I export (this happen on over 90 different games). However, the Construct 3 export is so clean when exporting, I was amazed.-Construct 3 is really friendly to add plugins from third-party or making our ones, so good for custom settings for specific complex games.-The community and the staff are friendly and welcoming to answer our questions when needed.-Even if I must pay yearly, considering the fact I can prototype faster than GameMaker, HTML5 export friendly with optimization, the Construct 3 cloud can preserve the project files so I can resume anywhere at any time, and a lot of tutorials easy to find, the price is lower than what we pay. So, we can now stop complaining about their price, alright?

단점:

-The Construct 3 documentation has no code examples to describe what they are saying. Which is weird to me, since GameMaker and Unity do it.-The complexity to find tutorials about how to make custom plugins.-I would enjoy reading regularly the Construct 3 team roadmap to see what is under development and be hyped to use soon the new known incoming features.-The only thing frustrating, even if minor, is I can't do "ctrl + shift + z" when I went to undo a "ctrl + z". Have to redo the stuff instead, sadly.

Construct 3 is undoubtedly the best no-code game development option present today.

주석: Overall, Construct 3 has helped me realize my vision and sustain my passion, which would have been lost otherwise. I would highly recommend it to someone who wants to develop 2D games with ease and fun.

장점:

Non-coding, easy to understand event system is definitely the USP of C3. Apart from that i really like how the editor is designed user friendly so that i can develop small mobile games in no time, but the same features also give me the flexibility to go deeper and develop as complex mechanism as i want. I absolutely love that i can conceptualize, develop, monetize, and export to multiple platforms, hassle-free all at the same place. Another huge factor for me choosing C3 is its very reasonable pricing. And lastly, i love the forum community as people there have always helped me whenever i have got stuck in a development situation.

단점:

There are occasional bugs, which are rare, mostly minor and are fixed within a day or two of the complaint. Considering that issue to be nominal and present in every engine available in the market, the only other con i can think of is the limited analytical debugging features which can be made better.

Easy to learn, hard to master

주석: Very positive, lots of fun and lots of learning. I've been a customer for 7+ years and in the forseeable future, I will stay one.

장점:

The whole event-system just really clicked well with me. I've used a variety of game making software before Construct, but either I felt too limited or the whole approach to coding just didn't work for me. When I first played around with Construct and I placed a couple events, it just felt very intuitive for me. From that point on I was hooked.

단점:

One thing I still feel like it's missing are native UI/Menu elements. They do exist and work, but in their current form they are subject to a lot of jankyness and I avoid them like the plague, imho they are barely useable. You just gotta re-create what you need with sprites and events.

Construct 3 for App Design

주석: Very good, I only use it as a Hobby at this time. the App market is so saturated, there dosn't seem to be as much opportunity to make good money as there once was.

장점:

I like that unlike some other software you dont need a 3rd party software to product the final Game App for different devices.

단점:

More Game Control functionality, being able to control a game character by using your devices motion doesn't always work as well as it could. In game Adds like Admob don't work on the Construct Arcade. I asked about this and it was the only time I never got a response back.

Best Game Engine with room for some improvements

주석: With Construct 3 it was very easy and fast to create my games and publish them. Game development in C3 is very dynamic and easy to learn. I made two games using Construct 3 and I'm very happy with the result, the games are Nuclear Assault for Steam and SUPER Farting Dogs for Android, in addition to making 3 other games that won first place in 3 game jam's here in Brazil using the Construct 3.

장점:

Fast speed of game development.Ease of learningFriendly interfaceEasy to export gamesMany Behaviors that speed up development

단점:

I believe that the pathfinding behavior may have one more option to prevent an object from climbing on top of the other, as each object with pathfinding cannot detect other identical objects as an obstacle by default. It would be very good for Top Down Tower Defense games for example if Behavior from Pathfinding had these improvements.I also think it could have a Leaderboard object made easier to insert in games.

Best choice for beginners and advanced game developers

주석: Construct 3 game engine is the best choice that suits all my needs at the moment. I have plenty of prototypes already in active development and managed to release my very first game on Steam platform thanks to it. I recommend that product for everyone who wants to try out game development.

장점:

Construct 3 game engine is the best choice for someone who don't know how to code but have an idea for a game. Its drag-and-drop actions feature enables easy and fast prototyping, but also is a nice introduction for a game development itself. It is a very flexible tool for creating 2D/2.5D games (and from what I've seen it's going into basic 3D features as well since some time).

단점:

I would love to have an option to pay once and have an option to download a desktop (Windows) program of it.

Great Resources & Responsive Community

주석: Construct 3 is an engaging platform that keeps users learning. The 'Tuesday Tips' subscription was a great idea and provides useful and helpful information, tips, techniques, and tutorials that makes engaging with Construct 3 much better than some alternative platforms.

장점:

The best part of Construct 3 is the wealth of tutorials and resources available to help users learn and implement new techniques.

단점:

Construct 3 runs in a web browser. Which might be okay IF I didn't use the browser for anything else... but I often have many tabs open and it's frustrating to only be able to use Construct in the browser. I would use it more often if it was available as a stand-alone app.

Lightweight engine for artists

주석: Very good and intuitive to work with, no code let me focus more on narrative and art side of projects, so it's perfect for game jams, for example.

장점:

Visual coding was the reason I picked up Construct, it's really fast to create lighter 2D projects for an artist.

단점:

Probably the price was the reason I changed to either free engines like Godot or one-time purchases like Game Maker back when it still was a one-time purchase. I still recommend it for any artist that want to create games that don't necessarily need complex systems to be coded in.

Great value for this underrated 2D game engine

주석: As a two man team we managed to develop prototypes and games with ease compared to using other game engines. The development speed is very fast however some integrations (such as Steam API for example) can take longer and are more prone to issues. There are plugins however which are developed by individuals to try and solve these problems, plugins that in our experience end up broken in half a year or so due to the rapid development of Construct 3.

장점:

Construct 3 is an outstanding 2D game engine which lets you build HTML5 games/apps/websites/anything HTML5 related without writing any code (though you can code if you want to). It's a double layered software product which gives the user access to only design code blocks (no coding), coding with JavaScript or a combination of both. The non-coding layer has logic related readable code blocks and the logic is exported by the software as HTML5 code. This means that you can port your game to play in Browsers, as executables in Windows and macOS, on phones and basically any device which can run HTML5. It has the newest features browser vendors add to their products (Google Chrome, Mozilla, etc). Has a lot of built-in behaviors which can be applied to objects to give them functionality out of the box. Another pro is that it runs in your browser, being a web app.

단점:

The limits imposed by browser vendors sometimes restrict the use of the software and the developers must spend time to find workarounds. Also the HTML5 standards are not applied in due time for all browsers so your games/apps might have issues sometimes on different browsers which is why cross platform testing is so important.

My personal experience using Construct 3 review

주석: Construct 3 is the ideal software for those who want to make 2D games. This non-programming game maker software is ideal for an educational setting because of its numerous game options, low cost, and comprehensive support. Overall experience is engaging because the thrill of designing a game and then playing it in an hour or less is powerful. Students are more committed and encouraged to learn for a goal when they can see immediate results when they add or modify the event sheet in Construct 3.

장점:

I love Construct 3 because I don't have to learn programming to develop a game. The subscription's price is affordable and It's a versatile tool with a variety of features and options. It is by far the simplest game engine for beginners to learn. It is also a great platform to teach with my students on using Construct 3 for game development, and I'm enjoying it immensely using it for educational purposes as well as developing games for my own. Apart from that, Construct 3 is a great way to get started with event-driven and object-oriented programming, and it has a lot of export options such as Android, IOS, Facebook, HTML5, Xbox and etc. Construct's versatility includes the ability to use a combination of blocks and JavaScript which are suitable for non-programmers. Overall Construct 3 is one of the best game maker software that I would recommend my student to use.

단점:

Construct 3 is designed for 2D games and projects; anything 3D will not work properly, and I would recommend using a different game engine if you go this path. Construct 3, like any other game development program, has its own flaws. Construct 3 is densely packed with functionality, requiring a steep learning curve to realize its full potential. Although templates and documentation can help, there is still a learning curve to contend with. Since the sample and book for construct 3 are still lacking, you must refer to the instructions for construct 2 which can be challenging.

An Intuitive, Easy-to-Use Game Development Tool

주석: Construct 3 is a great game development tool that offers a lot of features and flexibility. The tutorials and documentation make it easy to get started quickly, and the scripting engine and asset library are powerful and comprehensive. The only downside is that it can be a bit slow at times.

장점:

Construct 3 is a powerful, yet easy-to-use game development tool. It offers a wide range of features for game development and has a well-designed user interface. The tutorials and documentation make it easy for beginners to get up and running quickly. For more experienced developers, the powerful scripting engine and asset library offer a lot of flexibility.

단점:

Construct 3 can be a bit slow at times, and some of the tools can be difficult to use. Additionally, the asset library can be a little limited compared to other similar tools.

Construct 3 r268 +

장점:

Excellent for teaching young people about logic, problrm solving, and programming concepts. It's easy to create simple games with young students and school pupils, gently introducing them to programming concepts while they engage in fun activities. Work to reward time is very short so students dont loose interest before they see something cool on screen. I've tried using Unity and Unreal in classes and the learning curve was too steep with too little reward in classes which are two hours a week or less. Construct 3 is perfect. Runs from a browser so no install needed, but can still produce games that perform well. It has enough complexity to do some very clever things and is constantly being updated with new tools and improvements. The recent 3D additions look really promising. My class of 13 year old's went wild when they saw me add a 3D camera example to change an overhead 2D maze game into a first person view in a matter of seconds. This is the best tool I've found for creating 2D games and interactive media, and it just keeps getting better.

단점:

For 3D games development, look elsewhere. The new 3D tools are promising, but very limited at the moment. You could make Doom or Wing Commander clones for instance, with primitive 3D shapes and billboarding.

A really nice tool, the more I use it the more I love it!

주석: Actually I am building games for the web desktop and mobile. It requires that builds size are super low and Construct does a really good job for that. My company strategy is realeasing multiple small and quality games in a short time to cumulate passive incomes and Construct allows me to create web games super fast. I plan to release these games on other platforms like mobile and PC later and this is possible with few additional work.

장점:

As a Game Designer / Artist Construct 3 allows me to create full games from scratch alone, and monetize them. The learning curve is really smooth. I love the visual scripting approach. I can achieve complexe things in a simple way. It's super fast! with the behaviors and plugins you can try a lot of ideas super fast and have super nice results in really short time. You can test your game on mobile on the go just flashing a QR code. There is updates every weeks, in one year the number of new features is amazing. The community and Scirra team are really nice. Each time I have an issue or question someone helps me the same day.

단점:

It's not possible to release games on Console with Construct only. Not easy to reuse features from one project to an another one because GameObjects and variables must have the same name ( maybe I don't do it the good way)

Got some learning curve, but it's awesome once your past it

주석: I am having a blast! As a Game Designer, I have TONS of ideas for new games, and with C3, I can test those mechanics very fast and see what works and what doesn't, as well as go ahead and pursue the one that do work into a full mobile game. Working on in on the web is a great added value, as I can continue working wherever I am. Constant updates keep the app fresh and stable (even got some of my own issues fixed). Highly recommended!

장점:

- Very easy to create both simple mockups and fully-fledged mobile games - Event sheets offer a fresh approach to game development - Suited to both beginner developer and advanced ones using JS API for custom game logic - Updates are sent at an amazing rate. Dozens of updates per year - A very thorough documentation and supportive community

단점:

- Lacking some very important properties in the event sheet, but can be solved using helper functions - Some minor irritating bugs in some of the behaviors - While it has some built in tools to edit assets, some are lacking (SVG editor, Sound editor, Shader tool)
