Each gamer at least once thought that it would be cool to make games. In general, I tried.
About a year ago, I began to think about whether I should try to make my simple game. Having strongly light up this idea and having no knowledge about creating games and programming, I began to look for all kinds of designers or simple engines to create games and applications.
Many have probably heard about such a designer RPG Maker, he became especially famous after the release of the game to the Moon, on which this game was made. I naively thought that with this designer I would make something epic and no less awesome than the just mentioned game. I went to the website of the developer of the designer, downloaded the test version, see what and how. I studied the training forums and so on, quite easily mastered the basics and decided to start making my project. I will not particularly go into details, it should have been an epic RPG, about a dude who lost his memory and forgot who he is at all and where he was. The chip was a large open world with the opportunity to go shopping, houses and other socially directed locations. I note who is not in the know, in this designer of the pixel game. And the main problem I have encountered is an almost complete absence of the opportunity to add my drawings to the base to use them in the game. For a long time, Ryskaya on the Internet in search of a solution to this problem, learned that this is possible only in one version of this designer (and there are more than 5 different). In the end, I abandoned this idea and began to look for another program.
After the RPG Maker, I tried many other designers, everyone disappointed me with their small number of capabilities or inconvenience. And thinking a little, I decided that in the era of Androids and iPhones it would be nice to make a game for mobile. Then my gaze from designers and engines for development on a PC transferred to designers for mobile. I also tried several different, for example, Mominis Studio, generally not bad and free, but a lot of hemorrhoids to release the game. Ultimately, I settled on one of the most popular constructors Construct 2.
The story itself is https://temple-nile.co.uk/ actually.
Construct 2 a lot of opportunities for creating games for almost any platforms including PC, Android, iOS, BlackBerry, HTML5 and so on.
He himself lay down in development and is easy to use, I am very pleased with them. With proper zeal, you can create any 2D game, alas, 3D games on it cannot be developed. But 2D can really be done, although many believe that the designers are all very limited and do not do everything that you want, but this is not so. If programming is too difficult for you or just yours, but you want to try to make your games, then I extremely recommend this designer. The only thing that should be noted is that for the release of games for mobile platforms you need a license, which currently costs 79 euros, or approximately 100 evergreen presidents. However, the capabilities of the trial version are enough to evaluate the capabilities of the program and you need to understand whether you need a license or not.
To use this designer, you do not need programming knowledge, all that you need is a little logical thinking, fantasy and desire. The “programming” itself on this designer is built according to the “Condition” scheme. First you need to set a condition under which some action will take place, for example, the condition: “When clicking on the gap key” The action: “Increase the speed of the character_1 by the coordinates by 100”, and it will turn out so to speak. More precisely, only part of the jump, because in the example we do not have a condition-action when the character should fall, but I think you have caught, I hope.
Actually, what am I telling all this to. I have very few friends, there will be too many fingers on one hand to count them, but those who love games are not there at all. So I have no one to share with. And maybe this will help someone with the choice of the program and decide to try to do something of their. A week ago, I finished making a game on Android and even poured it on Google Play. It’s only a shame that there is no one to give it to evaluate, it lies there in the bowels of the gugl of the circle and if you do not know, then you can’t find it at all. My very game is elementary, you don’t need to think, there is no plot or something else, it is made specifically to kill the time while you eat in transport or sit waiting for your turn somewhere. I would really like you to play and appreciate, but I will not upload a link to the game here, I do not want to say, so to speak at the expense of SG. But if you really are interested in at least a little, then the link to my game is not on Google Play, you can play directly from the browser, only it is not intended for this, the maximum pleasure and the use can only be obtained on the mobile.

P.S. I am not a master to describe and tell a similar. But, if you liked it and you read it, then thank you very much and I will be happy to answer your questions in the commentary.
