Hi Tom, Good evening.
I'm eager to compare them on desktop and mobile but As you know I don't have Construct 3 full version and I can't buy it too, so I can't export for desktop and android to test.
I said GameMaker performance is better because a few months ago I have tested construct 2 R279 (using events not js) and I found GameMaker performance is better on pc.
Maybe later I can buy Construct 3 and than I'll do some performance test to make sure about it, but as I said Construct 3 has Some more important advantages over GameMaker and has enough power to make lots of games as well. it was not good idea to compare Construct with GameMaker by performance while Construct major pros are some other things!
You might be interested in this thread which shows Construct out-performing GameMaker with an independent benchmark that's more focused on the overall engine. Small and simple benchmarks ought to be doable in the free edition of Construct, so you shouldn't need to purchase to run some benchmarks.
I did some more test Ashley, to be honest Construct 3 performance is much better than I thought before. I can't say if it's better than GameMaker or not but it made me surprise!! 👍👏
That test doesn't make sense for me, if it's just about rendering moving instances without physics or other behaviors I can do it much better than what he did using GameMaker. I want to buy Construct because it's so handy and fast and productive on HTML5 games not because of it's performance, I want to use it instead of cocos creator for my HTML5 games, construct performance on HTML5 games is enough for me and I don't care about other platforms. I have enough reason to purchase it so try to find a way for me, nothing more please.
GameMaker its way better than c3>> GameMaker Export games to almost any console !!!! Period and a FACT.
I did some nice works using GameMaker Studio and I made money using it as well, but for HTML5 games that's not my cup of tea. I found Construct and cocos creator better engines for HTML5 games.
