Indie Game Maker

[telles0808]

Hello folks,

I would like know who of you are using IGM already?

The Community have interest?

Thinking on it I'll start to give some support here.

If any moderator or admin can contact via pm to talk about a little space in the Forum to support it, I'll appreciate. Thanks you.

There was a great deal of anticipation as it was coming out, but IGM bombed as soon as it released. Enterbrain took their usual habit of breaking something with each release a little too far, and came out with a wholly unintuitive mess of a program with a much more limited scope than the existing game engines out there.

I haven't seen any interest in IGM across the greater community, since most people seem to realize that they're better off just learning Game Maker or Construct or something. We might give it a subforum if it were used widely enough to merit the extra space, but I haven't seen a single project using it.

IGM did indeed bomb.
I was hoping for it.... even spent money on it..
I got it.. and realized how little could be done, and how different from anything else they have made that the software was from anything else.

You can't do slopes, you can't use audio files other than wave i think.
You graphics are a pain to use, the thing would have been better had they just focused on one kind of game, but no.. they tried to make it to make all kinda of games.. and somewhere.. they dropped the ball big time.
It could have been awesome if they focused on one genre, but yeah.. it bombed BIG TIME..

I still have it.. but... yeah.. it is a mess to use.

Game maker is indeed better... hell.. even Stencyl is looking somewhat better, even though it uses flash.. bleh.

EB is getting bad about releasing software that lacks a lot..
VX was the start, and IGM was the second.. i hate to see what else they release for PC and how lacking it ends up being.

It was a nice try but it didn't really work - much like "The 3D Game Maker" (although that was far more limited).

I think the whole RM community is rather against Enterbrain now. I personally don't expect a good product to come out of them. :/ and to think we were excited about VX too.

I played with IGM, tried the demos and all, but I never put any time into learning it. I haven't heard good thing though. Right now I use 2k3, XP, and VX depending on the scope of the project. I just want them to release a maker that replaces one of those, that's all. But I'd be pretty content if that never happened, considering the versatility of the three...

I think the best chance of that happening is if one of the hundreds of indie projects comes out like Near Fantastica's or vgvgfs. But none have yet.
