What happened to Clickteam, Why is no one using it?

Game Maker and Multimedia Fusion can both do amazing things, but some things always hit me over;
Unless I'm mistaken, Game Maker loads external resources multiple times over and over again instead of caching them (or something like that.. can't remember how it was exactly, so don't count on this 100%). This causes heavy lag if you're using Game Maker to something else than Game Development (read: Game Maker is for making games, whereas Multimedia Fusion is aimed towards uh, kind anything)
A prime example is that one dude who was developing a NES Fester's Quest editor but everyone hated it because of the lagfest.

EDIT: I use MMF whenever I get the chance. I've tried GM too, didn't like it too much but I can see where you're going.

I think Game Maker is pretty simple to understand once you get used to it.
That, and it doesn't expire in 30 days.

But I would never want to use an engine somebody else made. Sure, maybe to get a few ideas on how to do some things. But I would never just use the engine, throw in a few levels, then call it my game. Deep down I would know it isn't really mine.

Goodbye, Hello.

My God you're awesome.

Those are some great reasons.

This.

I feel like I'm the only one here who actually dropped $130 on a legal copy of MMF2?
It comes with about a 200 page manual and a pretty cool 2nd disc with lots of stuff.

Firstly, what the **** is this "MF" you keep talking about? Well, I'll assume it means MMF2.

1. Yeah, you sort of have a point here. I'll bet there exists no such thing as "torrents" or "warez".

2. And GM is extremely confusing to me. And you already said this goddamn money thing.

3. So yeah. You say "it costs a lot" 3 times. Wow, your debating skills are SO l33t.

You say that "it's confusing to me" and that "it's expensive" 3 times and then you just quickly say "maybe I'll use it someday"? Lol ok whatever.

200 pages?!?! But aren't we able to ALSO download the manual from Clickteam's website as well?

Still, that is seriously a HUGE manual! o_O

I fully paid for MMF2 Developer. Well worth it.

At the time I could only afford MMF2 Standard. Hopefully I'll be able to upgrade to Developer.

EDIT: Also you can get a discount if you bought one of their older products (I got $30 off MMF2 Standard because I bought TGF Home Edition years ago)

Yeah, hopefully. Developer is tons better and stuff like that.

I have Developer. Go me.

$130!? Geez. o_o

you act like that's a ridiculous amount of money to spend on something

try looking at how much programs like maya cost

and programs like 3D Studio Max, which isn't even a programming program.

Or photoshop.

> 130 $
> Geez

No. Just no.

That's an even better example!

I think Game Maker is waaay harder to use than TGF2/MMF2.

Honestly, look at most of the mario games on MFGG made with Game Maker.
Don't you notice how they always give credit to Hello because they used his engine?
