Finally joined GMC to be able to share my Jam entry, and I figured I might get a little social as well. I've been using Game Maker ever since GM6, back when it was just $20 to unlock all the features (but the extent of the features was pretty limited compared to where we are now). I'm wondering who else around here has used a significantly older version of GM and has something to say about the experience?
Personally, as somebody who started using GM right when I started middle school, I feel as though the program has grown with me. Now at the exciting/depressing age of 22, I feel that my own capability to understand programming has benefited from the progression of a simple development program to an indie-creation power machine. Keeping things simple when I was a kid was essential to helping me get things done, but now that I'm an adult, I'm glad that the more advanced features are there for me to utilize.
Anybody else share the sentiment or have their own thoughts to share?
