Making your own video games may sound like a difficult task.  However, the folks over at Scirra have found a way to make it possible for anyone to create a video game.  Construct 2 is one of the best game maker solutions currently on the market.  With their amazing drag and drop interface you can make games in minutes without any programming knowledge.  How amazing is that!  This opens up a whole new world to people that don't have any programming knowledge at all.   For example, say you are an artist.  You can put your drawings into a game and watch them come to life!  Same goes with composers.  Construct 2 has opened up the world of game programming to anyone that is willing to take a little bit of time to learn their software.  Notice I didn't say learn programming?  That's right, if you learn Construct 2, you can be making games in no time.

The other amazing thing about Construct 2 is it’s all built around HTML5.  What this means is anything you build in Construct 2 will work on any modern web browser.  Including mobile!  That’s right, you can even export your games into native Droid, iOS, Windows 8, and Blackberry apps.  With the help of wrappers like CocoonJS and AppMobi.

I bet you are wondering how you can get started and that it’s probably expensive right?  Well Construct 2 has a free version that allows you to really get your feet wet with the software before jumping into a purchase.  I highly recommend you watch some Construct 2 Tutorial videos as well.  There are a lot out there and the guys at www.LearnConstruct2.com are really working hard to put out great video content and they focus on beginners.  They have free videos and are showing a free preview of their Platform Course where you can watch the first video to see if it’s something that would help you improve your game making.
