Games have always been my passion. Creativity and production have always been on my mind. I love talking about production and I hope you enjoy reading about how to make games. This book will give beginners a first-hand knowledge of how to make games in Construct 2. I made my first game in 1997 when I was attending university.
In this book, you will learn how to make several games and learn the secrets of game development. After reading this book, you should have several playable games to build a foundation and move forward. It is important that you actually make the games instead of just reading the book. Game development and entrepreneurship is not a spectator sport. The best developers actually release their games instead of just thinking about making games.
This book is laid out so that anybody can pick it up and make a game. It is also recommended that you go through the chapters in order. This book is best suited towards beginners and people who have never made a game before. Construct 2 is a visual programming language. This means that you don't have to hand code every single detail. Because of this, most of the logic is presented in images. The book is written this way because people who like visual programming languages love images.
Before we continue, let me introduce myself. My name is John Bura and I have been programming since 1997 and teaching since 2002. I have released several games for console and mobile platforms. You can check out my website at www.mammothinteractive.com. I hope you get a lot out of this book. This book is designed for beginners who have never programmed before. If you have done some programming, you will be amazed at how easy game development is in Construct 2.
