C3 The Most Professional HTML5 Game Editor Available

Ashley, Tom

I'm concerned you guys are still targeting hobbyists after viewing the C3 splash page. "Make games easier and faster than ever before?" That's a feature, that's not what C3 is. That has "hobbyist" written all over it. When I read that I think, "Wow, I can make games with this and I don't have to do a lot of work." That's pretty much the opposite of how professionals think. They expect to put a lot of work into their games.

It should read something like:

C3 is the most professional HTML5 game making tool for the Professional game maker. You need to stress that it's a "professional" tool. You want to attract more than just hobbyists? Making games easier and faster should be mentioned much lower down on the page.

First 3 questions should be answered in this order:

1. What is C3

2. What can it do?

3. Who is it for?

(Optional) How much?

Unless you guys disagree. It's just a suggestion.

Btw, Whoever you have designing these websites is doing a great job. Very clean and very easy to follow.

Thanks for the suggestions, ntoed. We agree we've been marketing from the wrong angle in the past. I think when you see the new site you'll agree it's a lot more confident in its approach.

Tom Well, your MS Paint billboard got me back into using C2 after a year again, so you must have done something right!

Hah, glad it got you back into it! Was fun doing that

That was a cute billboard. Honest too. The art is perfect for it. I like how it refers to bird games, bee games, etc. Exactly how a kid would think.

Quick question about the slogan, was "Build your imagination..." taken?

Hey, that could be a fun thread. Ask people what kind of slogans they can come up with for C3. Here's a few:

1. Construct 3 - Drag and drop your imagination into a game.

2. Construct 3 - 3 times the game making fun!

3. Construct 3 - The trifecta of game making

4. Construct 3 - Build the game of your dreams

newt wins.

I think that meme was an attempt at wit but failed. Seriously, Moot has a point about the slogan, but in the end I don't think a slogan on the website will sell it. It'll be the features, support and capabilities of both the engine and the devs that sell it.

I agree. I slogan probably won't sell it out right. It's a subconscious thing. Like a jingle. If it's good, people will remember it. I could probably rattle off a dozen slogans right now and sing even more jingles for different products. Sometimes slogans are more memorable than the actual product.

"We'll leave the light on for you." is a slogan, I think by some hotel business, but I can't remember which one. That slogan just sticks with me because I have family, and I leave the light on for them at night. It's simple, kind, and relatable.

Edit:

Looked it up. It's Motel 6. I think that's why I couldn't remember it. I purposely blocked it from memory.

Hah, yeah, I have a few hotel memories I'd like to block too.

Something to add a little more weight to the argument that Construct is a tool that, in the hands of a professional, will outdo Unity:

The contest drew 62 entrants. The top 3 were:

1st Place - Built with Construct 2

2nd Place - Built with ???

3rd Place - Built with Construct 2

2nd place - Built with Unity

That's actually a pretty good example, thanks for sharing.

I'm glad the devs have noted that their marketing image might have missed the mark a bit in the past and are rectifying. I think Construct is a great tool and very powerful, but I kind of cringe when I visit the website a because it looks like it's marketed as a toy (although has improved somewhat - at one point it said something like "Make games effortlessly" which we all know can't really be done well and I think someone called them out on this). Early on many other devs using unity kind of scoffed or talked down to me a bit because of the image - that's fine if you're hoping to attract amateurs and hobbyists but you're obviously hoping to expand out from that. Someone on another thread suggested also changing the name from Construct 3 to something more descriptive eg Construct Cloud (I think was the example someone used). That seemed like a very good suggestion as it keeps your branding, but if you're hoping to attract a new crowd there isn't that psychological barrier of them having not used previous versions of the software and for current users it also clearly marks it as a very different product from Construct 2.
