Oh well. I remember using Game Maker back in 2005 or so.

It was a good and easy way to learn programming. But is it serious enough to make real games nowadays?

As far as I know it is just Godot under the hood. You can probably scratch at the surface and reveal the underlying power.

Can you? Yes.

Will you? Most people wont commit to finishing a game.

Also, GMS/GMS2 isnt a full featured engine like the big 3.
