GameMaker Studio

Engine review

GameMaker: Studio's great! especially now that there's an unlimited free version. I spent 2 years writing my own engine, but am now switching to gamemaker since it can export to multiple platforms. I'm using the free version right now, but definitely plan on buying the complete edition once I get a game out. Wish I knew about this sooner!

Only complaint and reason for 9/10 is with the map editor being kind of clunky compared to some I've used in the past. It's unusual having depth instead of layers. Seems to not have any paint bucket, replace all type tools and you can't change size of area you paint tiles with, but it gets the job done.

Definitely recommend it!
