Features
GDevelop is bundled with hundreds of features to help create any kind of game you can imagine.
2D and 3D objects for any game type
Add sprites, 3D models, particle emitters, text objects and more to your scenes. Each object type has specific properties you can customize to match your game's needs.
No-code event system
Build game logic using visual "if / then" events with conditions and actions. The system reads naturally and lets you create complex behaviors without wrestling with programming syntax.
Multiple tutorials and courses
Access in-app tutorials, free learning resources, and premium courses directly in the editor. Content covers everything from basic concepts through complete game development workflows.
An AI assistant for on-demand help
Ask the AI helper game development questions whenever you're stuck. Use its knowledge of the GDevelop ecosystem to implement new game logic.
Lightweight and powerful
Perfect for creating any 2D and 3D you can imagine. From small mobile titles, to larger steam releases. Powerful, open-source game engine powered by WebGL and WebAssembly.
Instant game preview and sharing
Preview your game immediately via QR code or share a link. Test changes in real-time without waiting for export steps or build processes.
One-click export to all platforms
Export finished games to web, Android, iOS, Steam, and game portals with single-click deployment.
Pre-built behaviors for instant functionality
Attach ready-made behaviors like platformer movement, health systems, and pathfinding to any object. Combine multiple behaviors on single objects to create exactly what you need.
Ready-made parts in the Asset Store
Browse asset packs, game templates, custom objects, extensions, and sounds directly in the editor. Get content for free or purchase ready-to-use parts for your game.
Reusable scalable components
Use pre existing behaviors, or enhance them with the no-code event system. Save and reuse your created components across different projects as you develop your toolkit.
Expand core features with community-made extensions
Install open-source extensions that add specialized functionality like advanced controls, UI systems, and dialogue editors. Build on top of an extensive library of community maintained extensions.
Out of the box multiplayer capabilities
Create real-time multiplayer games with leaderboards, lobbies, and player login native support. Works out-of-the-box, with no complex server setup.
Synchronise projects across devices
Run the editor on desktop, mobile or in browsers with automatic cloud project synchronization. Continue your development across different devices seamlessly.
Edit 3D scenes in real time
Position 3D models, lighting, and cameras with immediate visual feedback. See your scene adjustments instantly without waiting for separate rendering steps.
Let's try a shader
Visual effects to enhance aesthetics
Apply shader effects for blur, glow, color adjustments and more to layers or objects. Add professional-looking effects through simple selection without needing shader programming knowledge.
