I voted other: try Construct, or the Construct 2 beta, which was recently released. It's a beautiful piece of software. Very quick, very awesome and yet you can do everything with it.

igmaker doesn't even deserve to be in the same category

game maker is better

lots of things are better than game maker

igmaker was just a mistake

I don't see VX or XP amongst the choices.
This thread is therefore ridiculous.
But yeah, GameMaker.

@Japur:hmmm. i've never heard of it i'll look at it
@wyatt:why?
@WDP: not for RPGs man, for other games(eg. sidescrolling) games
Hence the topic is in Other Game Making Programs

If you used it you'd understand. It's an incredibly juniorised program and it is very difficult to make anything but three set sample games with it. Game Maker on the other hand is cheaper, less specialised, and overall much nicer to work in.

IGMaker belongs in the same category as, say, "The 3D Game Maker Lite".

Dude, all software is "free".
You must be unaware of the beautiful thing that is piracy.

I would go for Construct. Have you read the article I posted? It explains why you should pick Construct. :D
