Construct is a powerful 2D games creation application only for windows right now, with a simple system of events-conditions management and an upcoming Python support.
But... what are the advantages over scripting a game from scratch or using other game creation engines? Well, Construct has all the basics for a good game, and, in addition, loads of new features. Some of the best plugins or features are : physics, DX9-10 support, pixel shader 3 effects, layer-based creation and an advanced SDK for the creation of new features.
Why using Construct? Everything is easier! You can make a character move without a line of events, add your own attributes for each object and create your sprites directly in your application. Construct has everything you need. You can make complex loops or repeats for different types of games, or even use custom arrays to create grid-based games.
Construct is currently being developed by Scirra.
