Why are professionals using GDevelop

Personally, I hadn't programmed in many years when I started using


GDevelop in 2019. I also never felt completely comfortable with traditional
programming. It turned out to be incredibly fast for me to get started with
GDevelop. Already after following a single tutorial, I was up and running
with my first game, which eventually became quite advanced for a
beginner.

Read Posh’s Case Study

Fully functional Android and iOS apps have been developed, allowing
distributors in this industry to purchase products, view their key business
indicators [...]. In addition to achieving a functional app, given the features
of GDevelop, visual elements were incorporated to create gamified
environments that are much more appealing than a standard platform.

The killer feature for me is how quickly you can throw some graphics on
screen to get you started and refine/tweak things from there. I am a very
visual person so the ability to get something on screen quickly helps me
think about what i want to do with that particular scene.
