MonoGame vs Goo Create

Support for iOS, Android, Mac OS X, Linux, Windows (both OpenGL and DirectX), Windows 8 Store, Windows Phone 8, PlayStation Mobile, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and the OUYA console with even more platforms on the way.

All the code is available to you ensuring you'll have the ability to make changes when you need to or even port to whole new platforms.

The framework implements the XNA 4 API, so games made in XNA can be ported to other platforms using this. This was the same API used by the Xbox Live Indie Games platform so there's lots of documentation online for it.

By leveraging C# and other .NET languages on Microsoft and Mono platforms you can write modern, fast, and reliable game code.

The community MonoGame has to offer is helpful and mature.

The performance on desktop platforms matches that of C++, but you still get all the pleasant features that C# has to offer.

Since GooCreate is native to the Web and uses WebGL directly, finished projects usually have a much smaller (sometimes orders of magnitude) download sizes compared to tools like Unity.

The visual state machine editor in GooCreate enables the addition of advanced interactivity without having to directly code it in JavaScript. Artists can add movement to objects, react to clicks and other events or even trigger changes in other state machines via events.

GooCreate is tightly integrated with the Cannon.js physics engine making it super simple to add advanced physics simulations to any project. Cannon.js is available at http://www.cannonjs.org/.

The Goo.js engine is fully open source and available at https://github.com/GooTechnologies/goojs

Usually when publishing you are forced to use a template provided by the service (with a logo, social buttons, etc) or you have to download the project to customize it. In GooCreate you can pick from a few different configurable templates and then, if that is not enough, you can add custom CSS and JavaScript that gets added to the page header (i.e. JS and CSS will be run/applied before the scene even starts to load) letting you style the loading screen and any other aspects of the page without having to download anything and still being able to make use of the hosting service GooCreate provides.

Material editor supports diffuse color, normal maps, specularity, emissiveness, opacity, reflectivity and refractivity.

Post effects including bloom, motion blur, anti aliasing, levels, contrast, vignette and edge detection.
