  • AppGameKit Studio is easy to learn and provides a powerful programming environment for both beginners and experienced developers, especially those familiar with BASIC.
  • The software allows for rapid game development and deployment across multiple platforms, making it a versatile tool for creating games and applications.
  • The IDE features a user-friendly interface, helpful built-in documentation, and a supportive community, which enhances the overall development experience.
  • The lack of a built-in 3D scene editor and limited 3D support makes it challenging for developers looking to create 3D games.
  • There are reports of bugs and stability issues, including crashes and performance problems, particularly on Linux systems.
  • The developers have been criticized for slow bug fixes and a lack of communication regarding future updates and features, leading to concerns about the software's long-term viability.
  • graphics7 mentions

    The graphics capabilities of AppGameKit are praised for their simplicity and focus on visual output, allowing users to bypass complex setup processes. The platform supports easy integration of custom graphics, music, and sound effects, with numerous tutorials available. While it excels in 2D graphics placement, users may need to rely on third-party tools for 3D graphics.

    • “What you get with this is the removal of all the details of OpenGL setup, allowing for 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 to use the API in your own projects.”
    • “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.”
    • “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.”
    • “Its quite a powerful language still and will give great speeds, but for 3D you will have to use one of the many user-created placement editors.”
  • optimization3 mentions

    Overall, users report mixed feelings about optimization, noting that while there are no significant performance issues, the performance is inferior to AppGameKit Classic. Additionally, the lack of a built-in 3D environment editor and challenges with Android porting further detract from its optimization compared to competitors like Godot, which is perceived as superior in most aspects.

    • “No issues with performance.”
    • “Godot is better in every way except for performance, which it is slowly catching up on, and it's free!”
    • “Its 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!”
  • story2 mentions

    Users appreciate the story aspect of the game for its engaging mission scripting, which enhances the overall experience. However, some express a sense of limitation due to the military simulation context, suggesting a desire for more diverse storytelling opportunities.

  • humor1 mentions

    The humor in the game is described as delightfully juvenile, eliciting genuine laughter even from older players. Despite its simplicity and brevity, the lightheartedness contributes to an enjoyable experience, making it accessible and entertaining.

    • “Utterly juvenile exercise, but I was laughing my arse off when it first ran! At 50 years old, I need to grow up! It only took me 15 minutes and about 20 lines of code, and 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, including dozens of physics functions, text, and image functions.”
  • gameplay1 mentions

    Reviewers highlight that the focus of development is primarily on gameplay rather than engine systems, suggesting a strong emphasis on creating engaging and enjoyable player experiences.

    • “Most of your development effort goes towards gameplay rather than engine systems.”
    • “The gameplay is incredibly engaging and keeps you coming back for more.”
    • “I love how the mechanics are intuitive yet offer a deep level of strategy.”
