Fun read. It's nice to see Dan around, although I wish it were under better circumstances.

Was thinking of posting something similar, but this thread pretty much covers it.

I remember when I bought, I think it was, A5 from Best Buy in some sort of game making package. It was amazing! The templates worked, the forums were busy, and there were tutorials galore. But now? Life support.

I love Gamestudio. It got me into the business. I made many things with it, although it always seemed to be more of a struggle than it should have been. And now I've moved on. If these guys would step it up, I'd come back.
