Hello I'm FromDusk in GM Forum. Perhaps some of u knew me.
I'm using GM.
I just downloaded GE a while ago and find it interesting.
Since I said that I am from GM Forum, well, I'm here because I'm tired of
those GM freaks(NOT all members) in GMC pretending to be professional. They think they are a lot of help but all I found out is those freaks just criticize someone's topic.especially if they do not know how to figure out the topic.

My point is: I thought forums are meant for helping and befriending fellows. There's one time where I post a topic of 'motivation' just to be a little inspiration to make original,self-originated games instead of clones with ripped graphics. One known member not even understanding what motivation is accused that I'm one of those who complains about originality
perhaps pretending to be a hero.And even criticize what I posted.

Well, enough of that. I am definitely not against Mark Overmars' ideas nor Game Maker. And I'm not saying that GMC and GM sucks. But I came to realize that while GM and GMC is good, some of it's "disciples" are totally a contrast. Maybe Jedi Questmaster is right. The dark side thing!

Since I found another good tool (GE), I think maybe it's time to make choices. We can have 2 or more choices can't we. Find the development, make a good forum and friendship as well so that we can squeeze the best out of GE.And make better than ever. Uhm Sounds like a presidential speech! :wink:
THANKS Makslane. Keep it up!

Yes, how do we know if that won't happen here? It's likely that this forum will grow.

I just wish that GE would become available for the PPC platform before too much longer. I think that would bring in more members.

Is GE programmed in C++ or ?

PPC version...
We have some problems with hardware here...

GE is developed in C++

PPC:
Maybe the hardware issues are the reason that no one seems to be able to get a gamemaker platform for PPC? I've been looking for a long time. I even thought of programming one myself. The only problem with that thought is that I'm probably one of the world's worst programmers! I'm definately challenged when it comes to C++ :D
One thing I'm pretty sure of though, if someone could be first to market with a REAL (not vbscript, etc) game creator for PPC or Palm platform, it would sell like hotcakes. The only thing close is PDAToolBox for the Palm and that isn't suited for much in the way of game creation. Believe me, I've used them all! I understand that the next version of MMF will have PPC support, but I'll believe it when I see it.
BTW Mark(I hope it is OK to address you with your first name),
Thanks for your quick response here. User support is a big part of the equation too. Keep up the work on the PPC platform. TIA :wink:
