depends a little bit on what you mean when you say isometric. If you mean isometric as in psudo 3D, then yes, as it is really just 2D shifted 30 degrees around, i.e seen from a different perspective. If you mean isometric as in true 3D, then no.

Yes, like Fallout.

From what I've heard Unity3D is best for true 3D games, but of course you want some programming experience with that, which I still have to get. (I'm planning on buying this book eventually: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1430248998/sr=8-1/qid=1388007620/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1388007620&seller=&sr=8-1)

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I was too late the last time around.

I'm not being arrogant. I'm pointing out the obvious. Game Maker specialty IS click and create enviroment with a lot of game functions built in. Marketed as such and targeted as such. To compare open source programming libraries with it is misleading.

If you think the export pricing is expensive, then say it so, to accuse them of nickle and dime just like HeadClot is wrong.

In the end of the day, you must download the demo, test it and see if it worth the price, and also if it fit your need.

What people failed to realize is that now you are able to make games for the main platfrom for free (without export).

If you plan to develop game that require serious programming and require the tool that support that, more power to you. But for a lot of people, Game Make good enough.

My last post for this topic, since someone already went through character attack by accusing me of arrogant.

edit:

all engine have limitations. Which is why even UDK have source code licensing - so you can extend it as needed. but not everyone require source code licensing.

It is not easy making a full 3D game. I am currently scaling back my design for my game. Releasing Expansions is a must for the game I want to make. Unity is awesome for making 3D games. Do not bother with engine such as Cryengine and UDK unless you really want to go down that path. Just my 2 Cents as I have used allot of game engines (UDK, Cryengine, COCOS2d, etc.) Primarily for prototyping my game.

If you do not want to go down the path of Unity3D there is always the GoDot Engine which is awesome! However it is open source so do not expect dedicated support , Bug fixes, and the like.. However if you are a cheap person (Like myself) who does not want to pay for a license for Unity then use godot.

Once again my 2 Cents. :)

Thanks for this info. +rep.

You explicitly said that his opinion is "wrong", and claim to point out the "obvious" which is actually nothing more than your own.

Easy like game maker. All the exporters and updates are for free. Worth it for 79 quid. It's not on sale but I thought I'd mention it.

It also has a free version with a few limitations.

Thanks for sharing this and +1! :D

So https://www.yoyogames.com/buy/studio_pro still shows as 99.99 - what's up with that? I want to buy it today because the promo ends Sunday, but not sure what's going on.

Cheers MaximumBunny, this one has been on my "to be evaluated" list for a bit, so even nicer that I can snag it for free. +1

Well, I've installed it and requested the standard license. So far it hasn't shown up in my email yet, though of course the "confirm your email subscription" email was there in a heartbeat. Didn't find a key on that one. Anyone else having trouble registering?

Slow servers, the splash screen being broken...it does have some errors. Make sure it doesn't end up in spam or sent to your POP address, cause that can make it seem like it's not in your inbox depending on your settings. You could also try another mail/mail service.

Worst case scenario if it persists would be contacting their support and getting it done manually.

Thanks, the email finally came through, so hopefully I'm good to go. Testing the key now. :)
