Anyways, recently I have been following a little guy's tutorial on how to make a basic HTML5 game that is remaking classic 1945 Shooting game in HTML5. Its a pretty cool experience since he knows that you are a beginner watching his video and he will walk you through and explain every bit of Construct 2. I personally love his tutorials because they explain every function of Construct 2 that he puts his cursor on.
HTML5 games are easy to make and even easier to export using Construct 2. Before you wonder how exactly this will be converted into an app then my answer is that you need to pay Apple before you can use the entire 'app' making process. Notice how I didn't say game though. You can still make the game and test it over Wi-Fi and for that you are gonna need the paid version of Construct 2.
Why pay?
Its simple, the reason why you are learning how to make apps is because you wanna make some money off it. Now there are multiple ways to make money off your app and release it for free. If you are thinking ads, then you have hit the Jackpot. Ads are what runs the game now. This is the reason why you should probably invest into a Mac and get the developer account from Apple for 100 dollars. In the end, if you are motivated, the investment will pay off! I have seen so many articles of games being made by 13 or 17 year old little dudes or gals, and they are millionaires.
My dad says, "Money is not hard to earn because its up to you work hard for it, however, spending it and saving it is a true skill".
What if I don't have enough money for a Mac but I got $100 dollars for a developer account?
Well, look into Hackintoshing and running Mac OS X (whatever) on VMWare. The point is that you need Xcode and after you get the developer account, you get two certificates that you need to install on your iOS Device after you have built the app in Xcode (Construct 2 or google has the instruct to do so, use Export feature in Construct 2). You need to add your UDID to the data-base but that's not what I am concentrating on. I am trying to convince you all that just make the game. Don't worry about publishing it and making money off it until you have tested the app yourself. Afterwards, everything is gonna be a piece of cake. :)
