Design and Build Ambitious Games
Building levels with the scene editor come as easy as it gets. A single button click will applies the changes to the game without having to restart from scratch, helping the user to stay focused.
Network preview allows the user to build the game for other devices (e.g. phone, tables, other computers) without having to export and install them. This is perfect to test out the performance, the playability, and the scalability on smaller devices.
JavaScript can be used to create new functions or to write extensions. GDevelop allows the user to manipulate arbitrary complex structures stored in variables. It even comes with a JSON reader/writer.
Game Objects' Behaviors
