Just saw this posted on another site, purchased it for myself and thought that some of the users on here might find the software useful / appealing. Hopefully this is the right place to post it and share with the community.
Articy Draft SE 2 is on sale for 98% off - which makes it $5 / £3.74.
It's a legitimate Steam Key that can be added to your account (I've succesfully added it already) and you get the key in under 1minute.
The current version on Steam is Articy Draft 3, but other than some UI enhancements, some extra export options and Unity support there doesn't seem to be much difference.
However when you redeem the Articy Draft 2 SE on Steam you get a coupon for 35% off Articy Draft 3 if you should wish to upgrade - the coupon seems to expire 2wks after purchase (at least mine does).
It seems very similar to the GMS1.4 Humble Sale just before they released GMS2, in that you aren't getting the "latest" version, but a very capable product and a decent upgrade path should you wish to take it.
I'm not affiliated with any of the above, there are no referral links or anything like that, I just thought some GMS users might benefit from some software like this when designing their games - especially at the price of less than a Starbucks / McDonalds.
I don't have a use for it right now (and might never!) but couldn't resist at this price.
It does say it's for "non-commercial use only", but posts by the developer on Steam basically say that an upgrade to a "commercial usage" licence only need be done once a game is released and bringing in money.
Link to developer post on Steam.
Anyway, the offer can be found here and below is the blurb from the website (in the spoiler) and a couple of videos for the lazy folks showing what the software does.
Here is a plaintext link to the offer in case people think I'm referring or hiding the link for nefarious reasons - I genuinely just wanted to share what seems to be a great offer.

I know I've waffled a bit but I just didn't want it to get removed or seem like I was advertising or whatever so tried to put as much detail in and be as transparent as possible.

Short Overview Trailer
Intro to new 2.4 features (longer)
I'm looking forward to having a play with it over the weekend!
EDIT: Sorry mods, thanks for moving!
