First off, it's always shocking to see some people run their lip against YoYoGames and its amazing software, but even more shocking to see a bunch of numbnuts not state all the facts.
Where does Yoyogames shine and where does ENIGMA sucks donkey's penis!
At least with YYG you are getting frequent updates, which btw, you can perform from within the software ! No need to manually compile and no repository crap! A user friendly way to report bugs and prompt answers to your bug reports ! YoYoGames strives to release frequent updates, with several bug fixes and new features on a frequent basis. At YoYoGames, the project is in constant development ......Where the bloody hell is ENIGMA going ? As it looks more like a sinking ship run by a myriad of developers whos egos are bigger than their dicks !
A stalled project going nowhere and fading in the distance and the n00bs who quit Game Maker quickly come to realise that the competition is not all that claimed to be. The one reason people complain of GM Studio is because they are a bunch of sorry newbies who have shitty coding skills, who are lazy and don't learn the proper way to optimise their game code.
Now let's see now........How many games were released with GM Studio, put on apps store, become popular, made money
?
Now how many were done with ENIGMA ?
Again the same newbish argument "Oh Enigma is a compiler" boo hoo fucking hoo !!!! Cry me a goddamned river !!! Give me a break ! Most people will never really need the YoYo Compiler. Many people have released really good games long before the YYC export, with very decent frame rates. Now let's see now, how many export options do you have with Studio and how many do you have with ENIGMA ? Hmm??? GM:S is a user friendly software - no playing with dependencies, compiler, mangling, repository, suppositories, etc. You would really have to utterly be a complete newbie and totally suck for you to have trouble making a decent game with that software which has gone a long way !!!
ENIGMA is program that COULD HAVE been a great alternative with amazing potential, but currently it is a pile of dung ! It has so many issues, its compatibility to GM (which is supposed to be its purpose no?) is abysmal at best and it is so incomplete. SO how the fuck can you tell some GM veteran to come over to ENIGMA and bring their project and that they would get better results.
A sinking ship, no updates, no fixes, too many issues and no sign of any new version or further development, I guess YoYoGame is a winner here ladies and gents.
So whilst the developers who rarely agree with one another keep on fighting like a bunch of ladies......and getting nothing done other than lip service and over hyping their sorry, miserable attempt at a GM altnerative, the folks at YYG keep on working hard day and night to improve and bring its product to new heights. There is no way that ENIGMA can keep pace with GM. You either fucking release something that works properly or you work on it and when you get something half decent you release it! Is this shit in alpha stage or what ?
Before criticising YoYoGames, you should look at yourselves and if you wan to engage in lip service against another company, be sure to deliver the goods, work on making your product better, release frequent updates, and put your fucking differences aside ! Go get a room or something, kiss and make the fuck up and walk the talk.......
Sure ENIGMA is in some ways better, but it has a long fucking way to go to be considered over GM:S for serious game development.
At least YYG takes the time to provide a proper help, documentation built into their software, yours is incomplete !!! and online only. Is it really that hard to transfer all of that to a damn PDF file or HLP file ?
No means to auto update the software and offer stable / beta channels I mean come on, many FREEWARE products online have an update feature.
Your software is HYPE and so incomplete and lacking.
You have developers quitting, bitching, crying, and giving lame excuses.
So whilst you blimey kids keep fighting, Game Maker Studio continues to be worked on and improved for the better.
Let's see you folks release some updates and complete your software then you can earn back your bragging rights motherfuckers.
