  • AGK is an easy-to-learn and powerful software creation platform, especially for those familiar with BASIC or Visual Basic.
  • The IDE offers a great user interface, fast compilation, and excellent export options for multiple platforms, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced developers.
  • There are plenty of tutorials and community support available, which help users quickly get started and create games or applications.
  • The software lacks a built-in 3D scene editor, which makes working with 3D graphics more challenging and limits its capabilities.
  • There are reports of occasional crashes and bugs, particularly with the scene editor and Linux compatibility, leading to a frustrating user experience.
  • The developers have been criticized for slow bug fixes and a lack of communication regarding future updates and features, leaving users feeling neglected.
  • graphics
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics capabilities of AppGameKit are praised for their simplicity and focus on visual output, allowing users to bypass complex OpenGL setups. The platform provides extensive tutorials and examples, making it easy to integrate custom graphics, music, and sound effects. While the graphics can be powerful, particularly for 2D games, users may need to rely on community-created tools for 3D graphics placement.

    • “What you get with this is the removal of all the details of OpenGL setup (or the other ones) with 100% focus on the visuals.”
    • “There are plenty of tutorials and examples to get you going, and it is very easy to add your own graphics, music, and sound effects.”
    • “Great DLC, you can modify the parameters graphically, export the particles project, and use it with a small API in your AppGameKit Studio project. This DLC has two examples ready for compilation in AppGameKit that show how you can use the API in your own projects.”
    • “Even if my game is a poor example of the graphics that AGK is capable of (my game is a simple top-down view 2D game, but this is what I wanted to build), AGK has allowed me to publish my game.”
    • “It's quite a powerful language still and will give great speeds, but for 3D graphics, you will have to use one of the many user-created placement editors.”
    • “AppGameKit strips away much of the complexity required to create a window, draw graphics, get input, etc.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report mixed experiences with optimization, noting that while some have no performance issues, others find the performance lacking compared to AppGameKit Classic and highlight difficulties with Android porting. Additionally, Godot is mentioned as a superior alternative, particularly in terms of features, although it is still improving in performance.

    • “No issues with performance.”
    • “No issues with performance.”
    • “It's performance is worse than AppGameKit Classic; it still doesn't have a 3D environment editor built in, and it has problems porting to Android when AppGameKit Classic can do so.”
    • “Godot is better in every way save for performance, which it is slowly catching up on, and it's free!”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is noted for its engaging mission scripting, which allows for creative gameplay experiences. However, some users feel constrained by the military simulation setting, which limits the narrative possibilities. Overall, while the scripting offers fun, it may not fully satisfy those seeking a more expansive storytelling experience.

  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as delightfully juvenile, eliciting genuine laughter even from older players, suggesting a lighthearted and accessible tone. Despite its simplicity, the game effectively engages users with its entertaining mechanics and playful coding experience.

    • “Utterly juvenile exercise (I was laughing my arse off when it first ran, 50 years old I need to grow up!) but it only took me 15 minutes and about 20 lines of code. While it's not a game, it was incredibly easy to get some of the hard technical game constructs coded in a few minutes due to the fact that the basic extensions in the language are pure game functions, dozens of physics functions, text, and image functions.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay aspect is emphasized as a primary focus in development, allowing for more attention to be directed towards gameplay mechanics rather than engine systems. This prioritization enhances the overall player experience.

  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users consistently report that the software demonstrates excellent stability, performing reliably across various platforms without issues.

    • “The software runs great and the applications produced with it run exceptionally well on any platform.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game is well-supported with numerous tutorials and examples, making it easy for players to incorporate their own graphics, music, and sound effects.

    • “There are plenty of tutorials and examples to get you going, and it is very easy to add your own graphics, music, and sound effects.”
