I was curious to see if GDevelop could actually be a viable platform for making small web games (as an alternative to Unity/WebGL). So I stayed up all night playing with it and wrote a game in it. A while ago I planned to clone "Little Computer People" from the C64 and release it on the smart watch as a sort of Tamagotchi type game on your wrist (for kids mostly). Anyway I fished out the graphics and made a little prototype in GDevelop, then today exported as HTML5/JS and got it on itch within no time, very impressive indeed. You can see/play it here:
radiantsilver.itch.io/life-as-it-is
Conclusion?
AWESOME TOOL, 9.5/10. If you aren't a games coder this will revolutionise your life. If you are a games coder this will still speed up your development process and contine to amaze with its amazing features and stability. Highly recommended. Games are tiny, load fast on a browser and can be instantly playable by anyone.
