It’s something I’ve had in mind to make since day one, and it almost didn’t make it in – if I had rushed this to completion last week, it absolutely would have been cut. (Interestingly, this brings the project back full circle to the original KOTM prototype that brought it to life!)

But I wouldn't have tried to make, say, Judith in MMF.

There are no restrictions? You can create everything you'd like in every way you'd want? Or are the things that can't be done not worth doing? I guess I like programming so much, I think I wouldn't like working with tools like MMF. But I must agree it must be a lot faster and easier to make games, which would be a good thing for me too, cause I never actually finish anything (Bad habit =P) Would you recommend MMF over (for instance) C ?

Yeah, I don't agree at all with the whole mindset of some development tools being superior to others - I've been looking for some time for a tool I could use for rapid prototyping (my games have been made with everything from C to Game Maker to Flash to Klik and Play, after all), and with MMF I think I've found it.

Especially because you stole the naked ninjas XD. But when I played it it was really awesome! In my opinion games created with MMF don't feel like something to be proud off, because you don't actually program them. But I guess that's just bull-shit. Even Knytt was made with MMF! So I guess it is actually quite awesome. Still it has a bit of a 'game maker' feel to it. Although I never actually used MMF, so I don't actually have any right to be critical about it =P But I hope you understand what I mean. Cheers, ~Maxim first I thought, it was gonna be really sucky.
