Overview
GDevelop is an open-source, cross-platform Mac game engine designed for everyone - it's extensible, fast and easy to learn. Unleash your creativity with GDevelop and create any kind of game: platformers, puzzles, shoot 'em up, strategy, 8-bit games. Go through the examples or start a new project from scratch.
What makes GDevelop for macOS unique and so easy to use are the events. Events are a powerful way to express the logic of your game, without having to learn a programming language. It takes visual programming to the next step, allowing you to add ready-made behaviors to your game objects and make new behaviors using these intuitive, easy to learn events.
Publish your games to the web, iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, and even Facebook Messenger. Games created with GDevelop run anywhere and you can even do a one-click export to Android from the app.
Express your small and big ideas: you can prototype new features on your games in minutes, and refine them without limits. Making games has never been so easy and fast, with the visual editors provided by the app. Want to go even further? You can extend the game engine with Javascript.
