Software Decisions

Throughout this research process, we were pondering which software to use to develop our game. We have come to the decision to use the software "Construct 2" by Scirra.

So why Construct 2? The software is designed to still use all of the fundamentals of video game development but remove some of the complications. Our focus in developing the game is the design and the functionality rather than the actual coding. The software uses HTML5 which is rapidly becoming the most common programming language for video games, and is more suited to what we wish to accomplish.

The software allows for quick and easy import of our own character and level designs which we will be using, and also has the capability to create games for a wide variety of platforms.

Below is a few videos of other users Construct 2 developments, to show what the software is capable of. The website for Construct 2 can be found here: https://www.scirra.com/construct2
