Construct 2 r277

Making video games is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. Out of the entertainment industry, video games are the form of entertainment that requires the most diverse skillset. You'll need a ton of programming, modeling, animation, and design knowledge to create a great game by yourself. However, there are programs out there that cut out a lot of the programming but let you create games as well, and one of them is Construct 2.

Installing Construct 2 is simple and easy. All you need to do is run the executable and you're good to go. Once you boot it up, you'll notice that unlike many other game dev programs that require coding, this instead uses drag-and-drop actions in a visual editor. Because it's based on HTML5, games created with it can be published on any online platforms with HTML5 support, such as Newgrounds, Chrome Web Store, and more. You can also run the games you make on macOS and Linux, along with mobile. You'll need to authenticate your Steam account and a mobile phone number for your initial configuration process.

To get acquainted with the program, there is an extensive tutorial on the developer's website and the directory contains a ton of example games that you can freely explore so you can get some hands-on experience with the program. There are a ton of features that are typically found in game development programs as well. If you're interested in making some games but don't have programming experience, then you should give Construct 2 a download.
