Hi, my name is Jacob.
I've only dicked around with the trial version of Construct 2, but I am enormously impressed. It reminds me of the old Klick 'n Play game creator except not visually repellant and substantially easier to use. I was able to produce a very simple sidescrolling game with a win condition in about a half hour and then distribute it to a friend (HTML5) with exactly ZERO reference material, having never used the app ever before. I cannot exaggerate how cool that is.
If you dream of one day making video games for a living, and you're actually serious about it unlike the vast majority of barkers, you would be a complete fool to not at least give Construct 2's free trial a go.
For those who are serious and wonder how legit this app really is, well, 100%. I guarantee you can make profitable mobile games in relatively no time with Construct 2.
This is your foot in the door; if you don't take it, your future failures will be your own damn fault.
Great product, and even with whatever deficiencies it may have, what it allows you to do is so above and beyond anything thing else at this level that I give it an easy 5 stars for awesome.
