Bonjour! This is my first time creating any sort of game, much less using a legit engine to design one. I was inspired while doing research on the coding language required to create a mobile trivia app for iOS/Android. I was recently laid off work at a magazine I wrote for, so I figured now's as best time as any to learn something new and put my creativity to use.
I happened upon a HuffPost article on video game creation. The author had designed a retro/arcade game in just two weeks and had shared the game. I played a few levels and was super impressed. He'd listed Construct 2 as his design platform, and so I looked into it a bit further, and absolutely fell in love.
As a 22-yr old individual game maker, I DL'd the free version to start myself off, but will purchase a license in the very near future when I start actually developing the game. I have limited experience with GIMP, so I'll be using that as my art/UI software creation tool.
I'm blown away by the quality of games that have been created using nothing but Construct 2, with little to no coding required. That's what piqued my interest at first, as I have only a rudimentary understanding of Javascript and C++, but nothing I would bet my life on.
I want to thank the Construct 2 devs for their amazing work, and I CAN'T WAIT to create my game and put it on the market! I look forward to interacting with the community here and learning more about the behind-the-scenes of indie game development
