I've been around since Ashley wrote at "the Daily Click" -forums that instead of making plugins for multimedia fusion, he is going to make his own game engine. This has to be over 10 years ago? So Construct Classic became. After awhile development of Construct 2 started and it was supposed to be a "game changer". Ever since I've been waiting for Construct 2 to become credible development tool for something else than web. So I've come to conclusion that it's not going to be anything else, at least for years.
So lets face it. Construct 2 is a tool for web games and everything else is a bad compromises. C2 shouldn't pretend to be anything else.
Construct 2 has by far the best editor, but seriously it's only for web games. Too much of a hassle if you try to make something else. Almost every one that has started to do something more serious have switched to another game engine. Even though I love construct 2, It drives me constantly to search for alternatives. And now it seems like I've found something else...
