Construct 3

Construct 3 is a leading HTML5-based 2D game engine, renowned for its intuitive event sheet interface and seamless browser-based workflow. Developed by Scirra Ltd., the platform prioritizes accessibility and creative empowerment, enabling users to design, build, and export games directly from any modern browser without installation.

Scirra Ltd. was founded in 2011 by brothers Ashley and Thomas Gullen in response to a lack of approachable, high-quality game development tools. The company’s initial product, Construct Classic (2007), was followed by the highly successful Construct 2 (2011), and then Construct 3, which launched publicly in 2017 as a subscription-based SaaS with multi-platform support. The company’s growth involved steadily innovating in HTML5 and moving all development into the browser environment, making Construct 3 unique for its instant-access development experience.
