Saw the software that I use for not much money so I thought I'd share it with you. It's a great step into game development and unless you have a team of people you're working with it should let you make what ever you want to make, provided it isn't 3D.

People who code in 3D or properly will look down on it, but unless they've made something that is superior to what you can make in this program I'd suggest ignoring them. It serves a purpose and is a great introduction to game development, without the hassle associated with it.

I'd like to stress that this isn't like 3D Game Maker where it does everything for you and you merely choose the placement of items and what people look like. With this software I've made crossword solvers, isometric strategy games, breakout games, platformers, a 'virus' that brought down a PC at school and my friend made a shutdown timer. You have prefab movement types which are very useful for getting a working prototype in not much time but you can simply replace them with your own custom movement engine whenever you please.

I had some bad experiences at University where I'd make a game in a couple of hours far superior to a team of 5 people working on a platformer over the space of 48 hours, only for me to lose because 'it wasn't proper programming'. I now have a hatred for elitist snobs where the fun or quality of the final product doesn't matter as much as the lines of code that make it up. If what I made was inferior, fair enough. But it wasn't. I'm not putting down people who know proper code, just their attitude towards everybody else. If you want to make Half Life 3 then I suggest you learn proper code but honestly, how many people are going to be able to make that, even if they have the skills?

If MMF2 is cheating because it lets you make things in a FRACTION of the time normal programming would take then so be it- for some one like me who likes to do a lot of different activities I don't have the time to learn a programming language. I admire those who do, but not if they use their knowledge to detract from what I can make. 'Oh that's really good! Oh you didn't use proper programming... it sucks'

One day I will make a decent Deus Ex knock-off using this software... some day.
