We're pleased to announce that Javascript coding is now available in the latest Construct update r157 ! See our last blog Introducing Javascript coding in Const...
Construct uses JavaScript which is one of the most popular programming languages in the world - so the skills you learn will be useful even after you stop using it. If you learn a programming language only used by one tool, it'll never be useful outside of that tool. Also Construct includes all export options in one price, which actually makes it a lot cheaper compared to having to pay for all the export options.
I have both and you're absolutely right Ashley. The only real flaw of C3 is the impossibility of exporting on nintendo switch, which at the moment, for a developer, is a considerable market loss. Both systems have their own pros and cons, the fact of being able to use Javascript is definitely an important plus, unlike gml which, however powerful, is limited to gamemaker only.
You can export for Switch via C3 to Chowdren
