Hi, i'm completely new to game design and have started dabbling in Construct 2 recently. The reason I've been wanting to make games (as a hobby, not career) is because I have lots of ideas and want to explore my ability as a writer and an artist. I've been playing games for many years so it seems like the most appropriate medium by which I can create things.
So the kind of games I would like to make are focused on story and artistic expression rather than gameplay. Do you guys think Construct 2 is the place to start for me? I know Unity is the best game engine out there for independent developers, but I don't think it's a good idea to splash $1500 on it when I have very little coding knowledge.
Any advice would be appreciated. :)
