  • construct is way better at making EXE's at the moment is more likely the reason, i'd use html5 if i could do as much.

    Hi,

    You may be right.   <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    Perhaps Construct Classic is still more powerful than Construct 2.

    I am looking forward to the Ludum Dare 22...yes!

  • I discover that these games are made with Construct in this competition!   <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    Perhaps Construct users still like to make EXE games more.

  • Doesn't anyone find it odd that 1) GM is generally considered a scripting tool, in order to do anything useful, and 2) if you can code, why would you buy an expensive tool to code in when you can just code in javascript with many excellent free tools and libraries available?

    GameMaker HTML5 is really too expensive. However, if GM Studio is about USD400 with IOS, Android, MAC and Windows exporters. I think that this price is not expensive. Many game companies will be willing to buy and use GM Studio to develop games.

    A game company only need to develop a game once in GM Studio. Then four different versions for the four platforms of this game can be exported in the GM Studio. However, if this game company uses four different traditional programming tools to develop a game for these four platforms, a lot of time is needed. Using GM Studio will save a lot of development time. Time is money. Many game companies will really use GM Studio.

    Moreover, the syntax of Game Maker's scripting language is much much easier than an ordinary programming language, eg., Javascript, Actionscript, (from my experiences, I am not good at programming). A lot of game designers and game graphic designers of the game industry can also handle GameMaker's scripting language well. These people will also buy GM Studio to develop their commercial games for different platforms. They don't need to co-operate with game programmers to make games.

    Similarly, if Construct 2 will have IOS, Android, Mac, EXE exporters, many professional game designers and graphic designers of the game industry will also buy Construct 2 and use it to make commercial games!

  • Hi, ok, I have read some news.

    gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php

    I cannot believe that GM HTML5 will be released later in this month!! In fact, GM HTML5 entered the beta stage early in this month. Is the beta stage too short? I also cannot believe that GM Studio will be released in this year. This GM Studio allows users to make games for iOS, Android, PSP and HTML5. oh...perhaps YoYo and GM will become a giant in this industry soon. Unity3d is another giant in the industry.

    Other companies(Construct, MMF2, Torque2D, Game Editor, etc.) should not let GameMaker win so easily!!!!!!

  • I press F11 in Firefox and this game can be played in full screen.

    I have a question. Can this kind of platform game be made with Construct 2?

  • The GM games i have looked in this thread could easily be made with C2(with my limited knowledge) so i dont understand why the Comparisons are relevant?

    Hi,

    It is because I am not fully realize the capability of Construct 2.

    If Construct 2 users release many very good HTML5 games, many people will think that Construct 2 is as powerful as GameMaker.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Five of the six game are IPhone games published by YoYo Games.

    Some GM HTML5 information.

    gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php

    It seems that GM HTML5 is so powerful now but I think that Construct 2 will win this battle!

  • I have read different opinions from different people in this thread. Thank you very much!

  • Hello,

    I am a GameMaker user. I have read the news about Construct 2 on GameMaker Blog:

    gamemakerblog.com/2011/08/23/construct-2-licence-prices-revealed-free-255

    I have downloaded the Construct 2 free version and tried it. I think that Construct 2 is a good game making software...SURE!!! Many people think that GM HTML5 version is too expensive: (I agree.)

    forums.tigsource.com/index.php

    I believe that many GM users will start to consider to user Construct 2 for making HTML5 games. Why? There is a free version of Construct 2. In addition, many amateur indie game developers can afford USD65 for the indie version.

    Now I have two suggestions:

    1. The demand of HTML5 exporter is actually not so high. I believe that the demand of EXE exporter is much much higher. Moreover, a lot of indie game developers also want Android exporter and IOS exporter. Yes.....they want to get rich in these two markets. The successful story of Angry Birds make many many indie game developers develop games for these two markets. Actually, the demand of SWF exporter is also high. There are so many flash game websites and many indie game developers are making money with flash games from these websites. In conclusion, I really hope that SWF, IOS, Android and EXE exports will be released in the near future. Thanks.

    2. If Construct 2 wants to compete with GameMaker, detailed official tutorials for different types of games in PDF format are really necessary. Many beginners really need them. Please download GM's official tutorials and you will know what I mean:

    sandbox.yoyogames.com/make/tutorials

    GM's official tutorials also show people that GM is a suitable tool for making many types of games. These tutorials show the capability of GameMaker.

    I also hope that a single PDF file for things of Construct 2 will be provided for Construct 2 users. It will really help beginners because all things about Construct 2 can be searched in this PDF file. This is GM's documentation PDF file:

    sandbox.yoyogames.com/downloads/docs/gmaker80.pdf

    Finally, I hope that Construct 2 will be a very popular and successful game making software for different platforms in the future...yes..!
