Yes but, again, HB doesn't state what came from which tier.
If someone had bought only the BTA tier we would know exactly what is included in the top tier by elimination.

get the lowest tier - the one year licence for Stencyl should do you well enough (theres also a free version).

I can also suggest GameMaker and Blender as free programs for messing around in / learning etc

Thanks for the answers guys. I'm still slightly tempted (although less so having realised they are mostly steam keys... bleh) but I think it's the arty stuff that I would be more likely to use (the character generator might be half decent for prototyping at least...)

I'll have a think about it, but I'm not sure whether I'll bite or not...

That's only my second. I thought at first that I might give it away, then figured it might be good to own it on two Steam accounts, so I could run it on two PC's. Ah, the wonders of DRM.

I could probably cross-reference this with the tier descriptions and come up with something, but that's a bit of work. I also wanted to list what's in the various DLC packs, but unfortunately I don't think I'll have the spare time to do this justice until sometimes next week.

Anyway, from my look at the DLC so far, it's some art and some music. Some of the art looks RPG Maker specific, but a lot of it is just generic art that's not aimed at anything in particular.

Game making has always looked like fun to me, but it requires way more free time than I can spare. D:

Also, Goats on a Bridge is a really awesome game. I picked that one up a few months ago, hours of fun and frustration.

Ah buggerit, I bought it. The Character Hub thing and Sprite Lamp both sounded quite interesting and I'm sure I'll find some use for the rest of it.

Use programs that do things for you. Use the default assets that come with them. Make your dialogue boxes slow and unskippable to draw it out to 2h+. Slap in some royalty free music whether it's thematic or not. Then copy and paste screenshots onto cards, backgrounds, and for emoticons. Done.

And this crapola will probably be better than 99% of the other stuff released on Greenlight with months of development.

Spriter Pro has my attention so I went off and looked for it on the makers site.
Does anyone who has bought the bundle know if I download their free version which appears DRM-free, can I use the key from the Steam version to activate it to the full copy?

The Fantasy, New and Sci-Fi DLC packs have been updated. I have no idea what's changed.

Edit: Here's what changed:

I'll try and check this out for you when I get a chance.

Make games without the need to write code... great, we can expect a flood of the same game with different standard assets a month or two from now on.

Writing code is the least important aspect of creating a good game. Of course, removing this requirement does help more people produce games, and since creating a game becomes easier, so does creating a bad game.

Hum, hum....You're a bit late to the party as it's already been the case for a moment. Last case I saw:

There will always be a flood of bad games to the market. And some folks love playing bad games. They might enjoy looking for the diamond in the rough or by seeing what they could build.

Lots of folks enjoy building games and making a few dollars off of it can also be quite fun.


I doubt it.

Looks like he posted on Greenlight a little early. :) Other than this, I completely agree with his "test gameplay with pre-made assets" idea.
