I can confirm this. A few of my friends picked up game development as hobby. Although they went for Construct 3 because it had better UI and was based on web technologies.

EDIT: Was pleasantly surprised to know that you are working on construct.

Yes am one of the founders! Always a thrill to see comments like yours and hear how your friends went Construct 3!

It’s been a huge plus for a lot of distance learning during Covid where students have a wide variety of devices (eg Chromebooks) and can all run Construct 3.

Primarily because it is easier compared to compiling binaries for different OSs. It is quicker to get something simple running and share it with others.
