Hi, I am Ubivis (maybe some people already know me),
I have found out about Construct 2 while I was searching for HTML5 Game Engines for some games I have planned for a quite long time. After trying out the free version, I was sure that this is the right tool for me, so I upgraded to standard licence :)
Before I switched to Construct, I was developing small games and tools in Pascal and C++ (the only thing that we made public was Walkover (www.walkover.org) which was developed over years until it became what it is now.
