Right, my turn...
The name's Andy and have been interested in game making since the good old Spectrum days (Paw, GAC, 3D Construction Kit, and of course 'speccy basic' ahh...) Having worked my way up to an Amiga500 I got myself AMOS and tinkered with that.
Now that I have a PC I've been through a number of game maker's, including:
Game Maker
DS Game Maker
ADRIFT
Inform
MMF2
AGS
FPS Creator
Dark Basic Pro

and now I've just come across Construct (literally 2 days ago!) and from the demo reel video it looks to be a great development tool. I apologise in advance for all the questions I may ask but just point me in the right direction and it will be greatly appreciated!
