Ashley, Congratulations on such an ambitious release! I volunteer at a coding club for kids and Construct 3 seems like a perfect fit for the education market.
We primarily work with Scratch, but are always looking for a good "next step" for kids interested in publishing more ambitious games outside of the Scratch sandbox. We've tried a few downloadable engines or pure coding environments (e.g. Stencyl, Gamemaker, Phaser, Corona, Unity), but run into problems with the learning curve and installations.
Being web-based is a great advantage for Construct 3 in education. In our school district (NYC), students share laptops on carts and rely on Google Drive for storage. If you have additional information regarding your roll-out plans for the education market, please let me know. I could speak to some administrators at various schools and also teachers working with the csnyc.org initiative.
- Scirra_Tom 10y agoWe're really excited for Construct 3 in education, we think we have a unique offering here. We plan to have it rolled out and available for purchase in 8 weeks ready to go. Always happy to chat about this stuff, feel free to email me on tom@scirra.com if you have any specific questions and if there's anything we can do to encourage administrators to give us a go.
- neovive 10y agoLooking forward to it. Are you planning to release an Educator's Guide? Also, are the Construct 2 docs/tutorials relevant for Construct 3? I never used v2, so I'm unable to compare. Thanks.
- Scirra_Tom 10y agoWe're obviously working on C3 guides, but there are a lot of similarities so the C2 resources should be useful until then.
