Can Construct 3 compiler performance be better?

I just want to know are there any plans of scirra team to do this, because no matter what runtime.. games are not flawless in runnning on mobile devices like with phonegap exports because they rely on device's performance while in canvas plus it used to run flawless on any device.

Are there any plans to tackle this for betterment of exported apk performance?

Also Can Construct 3 compiler give wrapper like canvas +?

But the performance lagging should not be there as i see small games made with buildbox(all those games) work smoothly on same device on which i test my construct 3 game

although construct 3 can build better game than buildbox (with variety as all buildbox games are kind of similar) it all comes down to performance not being up to the mark. it is what i feel when i complete and test a game, that's all!

As I mentioned, in most cases performance should be just fine on modern devices. If they are not you can report it as an issue to the relevant company (e.g. if you have issues with Android performance, file it as a Chromium bug at crbug.com and if it's a well written report usually some Google engineers will take a look relatively quickly).

If you want native performance, I'd recommend using Game Maker Studio 2, ClickTeam Fusion or Unity. Although, the downside is that you can't make games as fast as you can here in Construct 3. Then again, Construct 3 does take more time to optimize for performance to make playable games, especially in mobile or big games.

However, the greatest benefit with Construct 3 is that you can make great small games fast even with little to no programming knowledge. Having programming knowledge does help a lot though, professionally.

If 2d games and native export are your requirements, Unity is not the most pleasant development platform in my experience. I tried Unity for some time a few years ago, and switched to GameMaker at the time. Now I am using Godot, however. Much nicer than GM, and geared towards 2d games (and quite proper 3d support too!), with a lovely editor and animation timeline. And GM lacks an animation timeline. Godot 3.1 hits all the right notes for me at the moment. The scene system is hard to beat in my opinion. Quite amazing engine for 2d work.

No easy visual scripting like Construct, of course, in Godot. The native export makes it relative 'easier' to deploy, but with all tools I experienced gotchas and workarounds. I feel it depends on your requirements. No game engine is that mythical magical pink unicorn farting rainbows :)

And I do still make use of my Construct 2 license for quick small web games and prototypes to figure out stuff and game ideas. You're right there. Nothing beats Construct for this!

Construct 3 is beginning to lure me back in with its promising animation timeline, though. But for now Godot rocks big time if you're willing to deal with scripting.

I personally don't like Godot, I find that I can't do more versatile things compared to using Unity or Game Maker Studio 2. Godot lacks features & documentations compared with Unity's and Game Maker Studio 2's extended documentations.

The reason why I left GM2 is because GM2 lacks almost any GUI support (Godot has truly mature GUI components), lacks an animation timeline option (anything can be key-framed in Godot, and it has built-in bones for characters), the glacial development rate of GM2, limited audio control, no true 3d support, and more.

Feature-wise GM2 is quite behind Godot at the moment, for the most part. Have you actually used Godot for a game project? Just asking, because Godot objectively offers (much) more than GM2 in most areas.

I've used GM2, Construct, Godot, Fusion, and Unity (and others in the past) for a variety of projects, and I can't say Godot is behind GM2, Construct, or Fusion in regards to 2d game features - quite the opposite, really (and of course there is no comparison when 3d support is added into the mix!). Unity is different, of course. It tries to be everything to everyone, and not very friendly for 2d game dev, in my opinion.

Godot's documentation was pretty bad only two years ago, but has improved a lot since they had a documentation sprint last year. Loads of online youtube tutorials too.

The GM2 manual is still somewhat better, you are right.

Also, the fact that they don't have console support yet limits your choices. You'd end up in a same situation as Construct and you'd end up learning a new engine for consoles.

Not entirely true. Godot has support for XBox One via UWP, and Switch, PS4, and XBox One porting is possible through a commercial service.

Anyways, unless you have your own well-recognized game development company, and your game is of a very high quality, console support might as well be a pipedream for most. It costs a good chunk of $$$ change to arrive at a console release.

That's why I like Unity and Game Maker Studio 2 better. Although, not to be bias, Godot is still very competent.

It's just my personal suggestion from experience, anyone reading this can just use this as a guide if they want to choose a native engine. Just wanted to share too.

Yes, I agree: it's like picking a clothing style. I like we have so many choices now. And I switch between engines depending on the project. For example, for click adventures I have used Visionaire in the past, and if I was asked to work on a similar project again, I would choose Visionaire once more.

That's also why I use Construct for small web games for clients: fast and efficient.

My motto: use the right tool for the right job. Don't be afraid to switch to another tool if it will save you time and/or the export platform requirements say so.

Some posts in this thread mix up CPU and GPU performance. Construct with WebGL 2 basically uses native grade OpenGL ES 3, and once it's on the GPU it's hardware-limited. So I think it's fair to say Construct has native-grade GPU rendering performance and capabilities.

Also, I must point out Construct supports publishing to Xbox One! For some reason most people don't seem to pay that much attention...

I follow the best practices required for good performance already! thanks!
