For many casual and hypercasual game developers, the more places your games are in, the better the opportunity it is to find the one that makes your game a hit and more monetization opportunities. So finding ways to quickly add your game for each platform is a challenge.
Cocos understands this and has been working hard to make the transfer of your game to different platforms super easy and extremely fast. Cocos Creator does this by using JavaScript and Typescript as our languages of choice thanks to their ease of compatibility for exporting games on both our 2D and 3D engines. We’ve already seen a lot of great games and great developers taking advantage of this.
Our Cocos Creator developers have been working with platforms and platform developers to help in the ease of exportability for game developers. This allows developers to not have to worry too much about compatibility and more on optimizing and adding features to entice gamers to play their game.
We have collected a list of all the platforms available for Cocos Creator and where your game could land if you use Cocos for your next app or game.
