Great engine and excellent dev support

The best thing is that it has an incredible community around its development which makes solving problems very easy for everyone who works in this environment (which can be almost anyone). It's not perfect though; there are many things I dislike about GM but most of them have been improved since GMLive '14! For example, some important features like saving/loading states or having full control over multiple windows / tabs were recently added as well so life becomes much easier when working with…

Pros
  • Openness and cross platform support, the large community, ease of learning and coding, vast availability of pre made assets and the ability to create our own
Cons
  • The amount of coding needed to create basic game elements, lack of good documentation, outdated editor (although it gets better), no scripting and debugging facilities or any way to automate simple tasks
