GDevelop

Review by an Gdevelop user for over past 4 years.

Kommentare: My overall experience using Gdevelop over the past four years has been exciting. I have seen the engine grow before my eyes through updates, and they are constantly working to improve it. The community and popularity of Gdevelop have grown significantly, and as these two factors rise, so does the user base. This gives me hope for the future of Gdevelop because I am confident that in a few years, their 3D capabilities will get better, and Gdevelop will be able to compete with top engines.

Vorteile:

I like the ease of use of managing the scenes, editing animations, adding new characters, and, most importantly, how convenient it is for us to change or add game events It is literally the best 2D game engine out there in the market and that too is so cheap. These are the major pros I like about Gdevelop.

Nachteile:

The things I don't like about Gdevelop can be counted on you fingers but their impact is huge if you see from a Game developer POV. for example the lack of 3D features I know it's new but it can be faster, secondly I think pricing while publishing or exporting your game can be little less. These are the cons I feel about Gdevelop.

The best No-Code engine and it's not even close

Vorteile:

GDevelop is a No-Code engine, but still feels like a coding engine, and I mean that in the best way possible. Unlike other visual coding engines, it doesn't overcomplicate things by having the code displayed in trees or graphs; it just has all the code as a list from top to bottom like in standard coding. I have been working on two commercial games in GDevelop that have totally different genres and every single feature I wanted to implement was possible; after two years I still have to find the limits to this software (expect for the one point mentioned in my Cons section).

Nachteile:

By far my biggest gripe with GDevelop is its lack of console support. Games developed in C#-based engines can be ported to consoles like the Nintendo Switch or the Ps4/5 more easily, but since GDevelop is based on Javascript, the process of porting the game to consoles is very convoluted and hard.

Redefining Game Development Education for Next Generation.

Kommentare: GDevelop has transformed our game development curriculum by making it easy for students from all backgrounds to get started. Its user-friendly interface speeds up learning, letting us concentrate more on game design concepts than on complex coding details.

Vorteile:

GDevelop's visual programming interface is great for student with little coding experience, offering an easier introduction to game design. The platform's ability to work across different devices also helps students develop versatile skills by creating games for various platforms.

Nachteile:

There is a risk that users could become too dependent on GDevelop's workflow, which might limit their availability to adapt to other popular game engines in industry.

I liked it when they were 2d focussed

Kommentare: Just a bummer, helper [sensitive content hidden] being the face of literally everything doesn't help, might as well call it [sensitive content hidden]develop

Vorteile:

The reason I picked it over Godot was because it seemed like it was doing a good job caring about 2D,

Nachteile:

but it seems they've swapped all their attention to 3D which honestly seems pretty dumb given the target demo was I thought supposed to be individuals or small teams.

An engine that brought me back into Game Development!

Vorteile:

I really enjoy how much the community is able to contribute to the growth and features of this game engine and the ease of use is well above all others.

Nachteile:

I feel that this engine is still in its infancy when it comes to quality of life and interface features.
