I have used almost every engine on the net. Unreal,Unity,Godot,Love2d etc etc.

But a year ago i settled on Construct 2 (not free though) but i love this engiine because i can prototype something with a few mouseclicks. And since i only develop 2d games then ex Unreal is too complex for a 2d games.

I thought also i could share resources where i get my assets and ideas from.

Graphics: Gamedevmarket.net, gamedeveloperstudio.com , Itch.io , Unity asset store (i download free and paid assets and copy them into my contruct project), Craftpix.net and here on Opengameart.

For ideas and inspiration i search for images on Vector art pages like ex Freepik.com and Shutterstock. I also takes screenshots of graphics i like and retrace it in Inkscape so i can use it in my game.

For music and sound i  use ex Freesound.org.

I have learned to work by the motto that it's not the program that creates something,it's the artist.

And i also live by the rule that it's important with gamefeel and details like ex smoke from fire or footprints in the sand or sparks from a carwheel when braking. It makes the game feel more alive and more enjoyable to play.

Here is an example of the same asset  but different color

This asset is also from the same source as the veins asset i edited
