Summary


In this chapter, we looked back on our games and the skills we've learned while making them, but we also looked ahead by learning a few objects we might use in future games.

More specifically, we covered:

  • Taking a recap of everything we learned in the previous chapters and how they affected our games developments

  • Looking at aspects we can improve on in our previous games in order to make fully-featured titles

  • Learning some additional skills that will help in our future games

Now that we've completed this beginner's guide, we're ready to start making our own ideas into fully-fledged games, which is where the real fun starts.

Good luck with your future endeavors, and I hope you enjoy your time with Construct Classic!
