Hello

So i've been trying a lot of different languages, engines and game creation software but i'm still looking for the one for me

Now i do have some experience with Basic from a long time ago though i'm sure i could get back into it reasonably fast if needed

Ideally i'd like

- multiplatform
- possibility of publishing to the web (not absolutely required though)
- ease of use
- flexibility

I'd only do 2D games with it

Flexibility is what's really important here as i've run into limitations on software like Stencyl and Construct 2 while Unity is far too cumbersome for my needs

For instance could i do a 2D game with zooming? How about A* pathfinding or something similar? Does it support IAP and ads on mobile? And finally how hard would it be for someone with some coding experience dating some years back but also with scripting experience?

Thanks for any input, it's much appreciated

It's great for 2D. Support for shaders, Spine etc coming later this year.

Yes, no problem. Use: SetViewZoom( zoom )

Code your own. But I think someone posted code for that?

Quote: "Does it support IAP and ads on mobile?"

IIRC yes on both. Not exactly sure what is and what is not working. Never used myself.

Tier 1 (BASIC) should suit your needs. However, AppGameKit is starting with a blank page and coding everything. There are a few tools (I think) but I've never used them so I don't know what they do.
