ENIGMA Development Environment

GMS 2.0 is around the corner, I think we should see a beta during Q1-2016.
So it would be a good time for ENIGMA to branch out and move on to being unique.
Nobody knows as of yet what GMS 2 has in store and whether it will be a MAJOR rewrite or same old same old........Personally I think there will be major changes such as the IDE being available on their native platform (Linux, Windows, MAC, etc.)complete IDE rewrite, no more of that delphi shite, etc.  Was about bloody time they drop this and move on............so I don't see a reason for ENIGMA to remain compatible with old and outdated piece of junk.  Now that YYG has the funding to support better development, this could mean potentially that GMS2 might be a MAJOR rewrite of GMS.

Look at all the discounts they are making to GMS, practically giving it away, + the exports, and those who missed the golden opportunity to get the android export for only $12 !!! that's a shame, that was a once in a life time golden opportunity.

Would be interesting if GMS2 allowed C++ capability the same way ENIGMA allows C++/EDL/GML to coexist, that would be great, of course their engine would never be open source, but it would be a step forward.

Of course GMS1 will still exist and people will still use it, they won't discontinue its use - however I think ENIGMA would be better off being its own product whilst offering the same flexibility and ease of use - in fact why not, even make it easier than GMS, it's possible  But sadly what this project lacks is developers....and now YYG has the funds and has the developers don't be surprised to find slot machines and electronic casino games powered by GMS technology lol!

When was the last time ENIGMA was updated, 1 year ago ? No portables were released since and no updates.

I'm going to be honest, the greatest experience I could probably have in life is to just go here and masturbate in the wild. If somebody would just stick out a desk out there for me, I could accomplish a lifetime of work in so little time. I'm using one of these as my new desktop background for a while to freshen things up a bit. The site looks great and I am very impressed with its responsiveness with such high quality photographs.

Thanks Robert. By the way, you should try once sex with another person, it's even better than alone ! Believe me !

I agree with Robert, lots would be accomplished, all away from all the stress and bullshit    and if you have $5k to spare you take Real Doll with you, the ideal life - outdoor desk, working, shagging your real doll bint, etc..........right Robert ?

Is some kind of servers actually required for GMS to function? Like does it work when you don't have internet?

Initially when you run it, you do need a connection to validate your key.  From what I recall they use periodic validation, I don't remember if it's validation renewal is done on a monthly basis or sooner but it's rechecked.  Regarding GMS 8.1 that was discontinued, they don't offer it for sale or download, however those who still have the GMS8.1 installer, would they be able to install and validate their key, I don't know.

This just seems like a way they want to get more users, as they probably have sold GMS to everyone "professional" that was interested anyway. This 12$ price allows to get the kids who couldn't buy for 299 as well. Probably a means to combat piracy for an end of life product. Maybe they will remove all DRM and release on GOG two years from now to get the last cents.

From what I see they made a boatload of money from this.  They are nearing $ 600k in sales! But of course comes the consequences, their servers are bonked, which means you probably won't be able to validate your licence for at least some time whilst the deal is on for the next 3 days at least, or longer for their servers to get back to normal.  So those who purchased a bundle will likely have to wait several days to make it work.

As far as piracy, well do they really care about an EOL product ?  They already have a scare campaign telling people that they can trace people who publish stuff compiled with a cracked version, which hints that your compiled EXE have some callback to remote servers, (but that is open for debate).

But that is not the issue,how do you think the person who spent $299 for the Android export would feel about this $12 deal...........not too happy.  They are giving nearly $500+ worth of software in one bundle, for $12 minimum.  They obviously have something BIG planned for GMS2 that will likely make people forget GMS1 and jump on the GMS2 bandwagon, and of course that wee Android export you purchased for $12 will probably be worthless.......you will have to repay for GMS2 (they probably will have a deal for existing users, sort of an upgrade deal,)
Yes, the reality is that they eventually will discontinue GMS1.  whether you still will be able to install it and validate it, is a big question mark.

As far as releasing GMS2, I don't think it's nearing any release anytime soon.  The beta is not even out yet.
I think GMS2 will just be announced officially, then comes the beta after that.  One that will probably stand out is the native platform support for the new IDE........(Windows, Linux, etc.)  Getting rid of the Delphi shite once and for all will probably be the best feature - I cannot bloody stand their IDE, they did improve it a lot but it still randomly flashes and doesn't work well at times.

My take on this:
Moving to content area, bad idea, your alternative, bad idea.

Moving the panels to the right, sounds like a good idea to me, cleaner, although if I have to be honest, I wouldn't mind left or right OR you could convert the LGM into a ribbon interface LOL !    (kidding ! 

On top of that if I have a way to hide the fact I'm rich I would. Like if I could actually become rich without my name going out, then I think life would be a lot more normal. I think one of the problems why rich people feel isolated is because they actually isolate themselves.. like he bought a mansion in LA. If I was rich I would probably still live in an apartment.

Spot on Harri   ....as far as the apartment comment, well there's rich and filthy rich......might as well spend the money, you don't have to live in a mansion with 15 servants, but who lives in a cardboard box with that kind of money......... Not all rich people are miserable, and those who are make themselves miserable.

MD5 functions would be great and MD5 for binary files check.

Speaking of decompilers, didn't YYG patch this already ? What about YYC produced EXE, can those be decompiled as well ?  As far as ENIGMA compiled EXE those cannot be decompiled either I guess, right ?

It's amazing how much people will go to length to steal from someone else.
That says a lot about the GMC community.  Nothing is secure 100% but at least make it challenge lol.

I seem to recall mention that YYC compiled EXE would be difficult to decompile, they would not get code
or variables, or something like that right.  As far as extracting resources that can be done no matter YYC or runner or ENIGMA or whatever, but getting code back would not be possible, integral code, scripts, variables, etc. Right Harri ?
