From $100 to about $33 is a great deal! (As of right now, it is 50% off) Anybody else have Fusion 2.5? If you don't know about Clickteam Fusion 2.5, it's basically like a more advanced Game Maker.(Now that I have GameMaker Professional Edition, I know that's false.) Fusion 2.5 is the engine Scott Cawthon (Creator of Five Night's At Freddy's) who did indeed spend around $700 for the developer edition, android and IOS exporters, and probably a few more stuff. The community of Clickteam is decent, the developers do contact users also.

Some games on steam were also created in Clickteam Fusion 2.5 like The Escapists, Five Night's At Freddy's, which have both indeed made front page of the steam store, and there are more listed in the description.

So far I've spent around 75 or so hours on it (according to Steam), so I've learned a how to do the basics of a lot. I recreated PONG, and it was pretty fun doing.

You can't build for Mac or Linux, but I believe they are planning on doing it for Fusion 3.0… But you can get the Flash exporter, and flash can be used on browsers. It definitely takes a while to get used to, it isn't that appealing to the eye at first, but after a while you might start to adapt to it, and love it more. Stencyl is visual coding, using standard code practices such as if/for/when loops, declaring local and global variables and stuff like that but the drag and drop blocks makes it a lot faster than actually typing the code. It's definitely a good head start before programming. (I take this back too) ~ UPDATE 1: I'm now trying out game maker, one difference is game maker has less limitations, less complicated, and it's own scripting language language too. Take a look at this - Minecraft Classic remade in Game Maker. I'm pretty sure that would take a long time to remake in Fusion since it's all just Drag and Drop. Once I finish playing around with game maker and after I buy it, I'll remove this thread and compare both. UPDATE 2: GameMaker: Studio definitely wins. I've bought GameMaker: Studio Professional Edition on the website, and not only do I get the license key for the software, I get the steam key too, after waiting a painful 2 weeks. I've barely touched Javascript but I believe the syntax is the same as GML. It's not too different from C# for me, so that's great also. All programs are documented really well, I could not make out a clear winner. I cannot say if one has a steeper learning curve than the others, but you should definitely check out some of these tutorials to get started. GameMaker made things easier for me, the only hassles are the editors (Script editors, Room Editors, Image Editors). I’m not going to lie, it definitely takes a while to learn each of the programs.
