I am having studying Game Maker Language and still want to make games right away and that desire took me to Scirra Construct, have any of you used it and published games made in it? I guess the best Construct made indie game was The Iconoclast

Hello, I think that GameMaker is better. It is because many GameMaker books are available!

Moreover, the user base of GameMaker is bigger.

Novelty
(Novelty is a tool for creating your own visual novels and 2D games. Easy to use WYSIWYG visual novel editor. No coding is required. A scripting language is available for advanced users. )

Stencyl looks interesting, but only if you are creating something simple. The scripting language look cumbersome.

Also, I have to pimp Monkey (http://monkeycoder.co.nz) since it supports more platforms than GameMaker Studio as well. No graphic editor, though, but it is a great coding language.

Hi, Monkey is good if the person is good at programming. People who are not good at programming want to use game creation softwares to make games. For example, GameMaker, Stencyl, GameSalad, etc.

I found stencyl a bit cumbersome to use

There may be a new scripting language in Stencyl 3.0. This game making tool will be quite flexible. I will spend some time learn this tool when version 3.0 is released!

I think that Stencyl 3.0 will be very powerful. 3.0 will arrive this summer and demo will be put out in June. Games will be exported to these platforms in Stencyl 3.0.

- Android

GameMaker Studio supports IOS, Android, HTML5, Windows, Mac and it doesn't support Flash and Linux. Flash and Linux should be two very important platforms.  
Don't know whether YoYo Games has plan to make GameMaker Studio support these two important platforms in the future!!?? 
http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/studio

Isn't that much nicer? Maybe you don't think so, but I've been programming in a language like this for almost a year, and I've come to love it.

Hi, 

All BASIC dialects don't use curly brackets. It is easy to learn BASIC dialects since BASIC dialects' syntaxes look like English grammer. 

Several modern BASIC dialects are very powerful: PureBasic, GLBasic, PowerBasic, BlitzMax, ThinBasic, Nuclear Basic, DarkBasic Pro, IWBasic, PlayBasic..!!!!!    

BASIC family is quite big..

Many comments are that games made with GameMaker are too slow. I agree.!  
People say that GameMaker is a slow intrepreter, and GM is not a suitable tool for professional game development.
 

I hear that GM games will be fully compiled! I guess that a lot of game companies and indie game developers will also choose to use GM to develop their games.??!!
