Ninjadoodle Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi @umen After leaving Flash game development and deciding to go with HTML5, I did a HUGE amount of research. I found 3 engines that I think are amazing - Panda, Phaser and Construct 2. You can't go wrong with Phaser, it a brilliant engine + with amazing pre-build functions and has a huge community. Panda is my favourite, because it's VERY easy to use and has wicked options for hires assets, retina and a lot of other cool stuff. I LOVE Panda and couldn't be happier with it - if you decide to go this way, please use the 2.0 dev version as its very stable and soon to be released. Construct 2 is a drag and drop game-maker. It is the easiest software I've ever used to make games. The problem with Construct 2 (for me) is that you're limited by picking a resolution. If the resolution you pick is too high (because you want it to look good on hires displays and big screens), some weaker devices might choke. In my opinion, Construct 2 is brilliant for making pixel games and I'm definitely going to use it for this purpose in the future. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
