Nice!
This Games Factory is awesome...
Only one thing...it ask me to download LAME,where can I download it for free?
Because when I try to download,it start to open Windows Internet Explorer windows without stopping...
Homever it's great :)

You could not disgrace game development and actually learn to program. In any case, impressive program but if you are going to make games and you don't know how to program then either learn to program or hire a programmer.

I am a coder. I still use MMF because it's wonderful for getting things up and running quickly and can still cope with surprisingly involved projects - and besides, spending my free time in the same IDE as I do at work would quickly drive me crazy. In the real world, players of a game don't care what it's made with - they're looking at the end result.
Using environments such as these is not a disgrace to development (people said exactly the same thing about Flash and - would you believe it - the C family, when it came out) - rather, a stepping stone that can teach a lot about programming concepts, while abstracting away the more awkward basic parts that people with game ideas don't necessarily need to do for themselves.
This is a dream come true!
Except i use a Mac :( I guess I'll have to do it the old fashioned way, and just learn some action script. I hope to see some missed potential come out of this. I know that i personally have some ideas for games, but am just more into the art/concept/story part of games. Maybe i'll collab one day, but other artists have warned me of the perils of working with a programming. This makes me hope that a lot of people like me will be able to let out some brilliance.

TGF2 should still run fine from a Windows environment on a Mac - it might be a decent way for you to get a foothold on some game writing concepts before you delve into code and start making your own from the ground up :) It's especially good for being able to sketch out concepts without getting too involved in minute details.
I'm downloading it too!
cool thing
