For the player, games are great for improv! For the developer, not so much.

It would be interesting to see a program that allows developers to quickly improvise. Something like Game Maker, or Unity, but faster to draft and easier to edit the engine itself.

That's true. Wouldn't be script languages the ideal thing here? For someone you likes coding at least. Well I guess for someone you likes coding, improvising is something they can do because of the knowledge they have.
But if you more of a designer... I guess that is a problem. I'm glad that we have Engine like Unity3D or Game Maker at least. So people can create games without being "too much" of a programmer.

I dunno, you seem to be under the impression any old schlub can just walk up to a shmup like DDP DOJ and beat the crap out of it.

late, to the party, but since we are here... I just meant expressive + skill is the magic formula. obviously any hard game is excellent only in the hands of a master, and mastery does not come cheap. we're both gamers here. respect.
