What is Construct 3?
Construct 3 is a browser-based 2D game engine from London-based Scirra Ltd that lets developers build games using a visual event sheet system of conditions and actions instead of writing code, with optional JavaScript available for advanced logic. It runs entirely in a web browser with no installation required and includes built-in physics, pathfinding, and AI behaviors along with real-time multiplayer networking support.
A free browser edition is available with a limited project size, while paid Personal, Business, and Education subscriptions unlock unlimited events, layers, and effects, plus export to Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and HTML5. Construct takes no royalties from games made on any plan. Paid tiers also include over 130 bundled royalty-free asset packs, ad and in-app purchase monetization tools, and a performance profiler.
