About

GDevelop is a full-featured, no-code, open-source game development software. You can build games for mobile, desktop and the web. GDevelop is fast and easy to use: the game logic is built up using an intuitive and powerful event-based system. With GDevelop, you can make simple projects for fun, create ambitious indie games or even build the next hit, grossing 1 million downloads like some games powered by GDevelop! Professionals, educators or hobbyists all use GDevelop for game making. What makes GDevelop unique and so easy to use are the events and behaviors. Events are a powerful way to express the logic of your game, without having to learn a programming language. Behaviors are pre-made logic that you can create and attach to your game objects. It's simpler and faster than code, and super powerful. Publish your games on the web, make a mobile app for iOS and Android, publish on Steam, Facebook, Itch.io, Newgrounds, the Windows store... Games created with GDevelop run anywhere and can be packaged in a single click.
