Construct 2 is vastly different than Unity or most game makers/engines that use more traditional coding. I can code but really enjoy putting the games together in Construct and outside of networked multiplayer (which is a challenge no matter how you do it) I haven't found anything I want to do that I haven't been able to figure out in Construct. The fun in using Construct 2 makes me a lot more productive than when I attempted to make games with other methods because it was an enjoyable experience.

I am working on my first hopeful retail game right now but I have made probably 20 web games and prototypes.

Here is a time lapse video I did for a game jam where I made a game over a long weekend using construct and the link to play the game is in the video description. Overall spent maybe 18 hours making the game including time working on art and design.

Only about 90% on this but you will not receive Construct 3 if you own a C2 license and I am guessing C3 will be more expensive to go along with its larger variety of features and I believe they mentioned a possible upgrade from C2 to C3 so you can get C3 at a reduced price.

I don't know how soon C3 will be here but we get very frequent updates on C2 and I still think it is the best $130 I have ever spent when I bought it a little over 2 years ago.

Awesome, not sure I completely understand what you do in the game by the trailer and your description but gave you the thumbs up on greenlight anyways. Looks interesting.

I didn't think construct games could be distributed on xbox one yet.

Construct 2 is certainly powerful enough for such a game. You have to do it 2d and you may not be able to include online multiplayer because I have heard it is a struggle to deal with but I honestly haven't tried so it may be exaggerated a bit. Inventory, hunting, gathering, crafting, fishing and anything else in Monster Hunter would be doable.

Rumors have been floating around that NX would be out in 2016 and Wii U production would cease when that happens but Nintendo finally announced some clear details. NX is scheduled for March 2017 and isn't meant to replace the Wii U or 3DS and the new Zelda game will be released at the same time for both Wii U and NX. Also, they stated the only thing they would be showing at E3 this year will be Zelda (so another fairly weak year for Nintendo at E3 I guess).

Take that for what its worth but I feel better about moving forward with my game meant to include gamepad play and not get surprised by a replacement system in 2016.

It would be a toss up between Jackal, Punch-Out! and TMNT 3 for NES.

Wait what? Wii U is on its way out? Where to? From what?

Care to update me please?

There are a lot of reports Nintendo is discontinuing their Wii U production and we may see their new console currently known as NX as early as this year. Given the poor performance of Wii U it is understandable and they are planning to port their popular Wii U games as launch titles for NX. Everything is speculation at this point but there is a lot of evidence that it could be true.

Had a lot of fun this weekend but the nice weather pulled me outside and prevented me from adding a better upgrade system and a more interesting level design and boss fight. Still happy with what I made though.

Here is my jam entry!

Finished my Ludum Dare 35 game with 15mins left on the clock. I made everything but the music in 72 hours not using any base code or existing sprites. The theme was shapeshifting and being my first ludum dare I had a decent amount of time set aside for I went with a basic 2d shooter style and tried to add as many features and content as I could with my time. I also made a timelapse video for the "making of" using chronolapse.

Check them out and let me know what you think!!
