Only Construct Classic is really free without restrictions + Powerful and has easy to use visual editor Only the version 1 is really free, they called it Construct Classic. Unfortunately the version 2 and 3 are not totally free, the free editions have many limitations. Similar to GDevelop, it is free, super easy, target to multiple platforms, lots of bundled demos. + Target multi platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS, web, Facebook Messenger + Easy to use built-in scene editor, physics engine, particle emitters, collision detection, pathfinding, etc The default installation has many working simple games. Programming skills is not required, you still need some basic understanding about logic. Here is the list of free game builders I ever tried: Nothing wrong with Pascal/Lazarus/FPC, but if you only have limited time or you are more in the creativity things and want to focus on productivity you should choose the tool that requires less programming, some call it game builders. Lazarus/FPC can be used to create video games if have the time and you're willing to spend some of your time to learn programming. But learning a new one should not be much of a problem.) (Pascal is by the way the programming language I have used the most, which is why I have some interest in Castle. Can and would you describe concisely their essences, strengths and weaknesses, considering my post and my needs? (Also, are there any up-to-date books on Castle?)Īre there furthermore any other options to consider?

Suppose now, for the sake of argument, that we exclude RPG Maker from the list, leaving Godot and Castle. I also don't mind turning the game into an RPG which might just work with some adaptations.Īt the moment I am tending towards Godot, Castle or RPG Maker. RPG Maker, because it should be easy, with many ready-made objects and tools, and has optional Javascript and import possibility of custom assets to get more serious. Therefore I will probably avoid this one. Game Maker Studio, because it is pretty much a no-hassle or a not-so-much-hassle experience, with custom assets still needed, though I did read and in some cases heard reports of many crashes and corruptions (even after many years of existence). I suspect that its installation and quickly getting simple projects done may be somewhat problematic. It also immediately supports internationalization.Ĭastle, because it uses Pascal (or OPascal) and because it probably has good workflow too, but to me at the moment it seems more difficult as an engine compared to Godot (and I might be wrong about that). Furthermore, Godot is totally free for any purpose, and may be used with C++ for performance-critical parts.

Godot, because it is multiplatform and should easily compile to all sorts of platforms, and because it seems to have a very good workflow with an easy script or visual language, while being fast.

I came across all sorts of options, and what follows is an enumeration of pieces of software standing out: So, as I have looked around and, since the game will have 2D gameplay and 2D (sprites) or 3D graphics, and since I am not a very good programmer - and perhaps there are more reasons - it will probably be best to use an easy game engine which has no or only little programming requirements (in the typical sense, to put it like that, of actually writing code). With that written, I find myself in this context of game-making and programming more in artistically minded areas. I know that one can learn pretty much anything (in fact, I was granted to learn many things), but circumstances, for example a lack of time, may prevent me from actually being a very good or experienced programmer. I would not consider myself at this moment a very good or very experienced programmer, let alone one who has had official formal training in it.

At the moment I am simply looking around for information.Ĭomputer programming, even if I have learnt certain basics and principles, and even if I used to program for a hobby, not for money, is not my main thing. I plan to at some point in time construct a video game.
