I wonder how many people out there would like to build a game but just don't know how to get started creating one? Or maybe you are a game designer or game artist but just don't have the programming skills? I was apart of the former case and thats why I created GameBuilder Studio. I would like to get feedback on what you guys think of what I've built. http://vimeo.com/31183644
This seems more like a video of a very cumbersome interface for coding than a video of building a game without any coding. To build a simple vertically scrolling shmup with no complex behavior, the user has to understand a great many concepts and metaphors that would normally be completely unnecessary for such a game. He must type values into a text box to move a flame by trial and error when he could do it by dragging it into place much faster.<p>The user also gets to use member variables of the in-game entities to compute each other, which is powerful, but seems to be programming.
If I had the time I'd probably try it out, it looks pretty slick.<p>Where it says play anywhere on your front page, I didn't know what that meant. Web on your server? Web on my server? Cross platform? I was reluctant to sign in and find out.
