Well, I guess my abilities (and my interests) are a little too much on the beginner's side. I actually like the workflow of A4. But thank you, I'll look into it.

Just fiddling around with A4 is basically as good as it gets for me. And before I don't finish one small complete game I do not want to spend too much money on it (I know how I am with these things, last time I touched Gamestudio was about a year ago or so). It will always be a side-hobby anyways.
