Good job for Scirra. This time there are not many releases but r100 is a big fish so well done.

RacerBG have you tried the Game Maker free version? I hope you don't need to rotate your sprites!

Rotating s;rites is very easy but I don't know about the Lite version. I have the Pro version and at all I can do everything (my knowledge is my only limiter).

Im making games ONLY under the GNU license. In other words - I will never make shareware games. Im strong supporter for the free software on the net, that's why by the way Im here. When r100 is released I will download it for sure just to see what I will be able to do. By the way compared to the other game makers, C2 have good amount of freedom in the free edition (the only thing that seems bad for me are the new prizes because for 2D only maker this seems a lot). Well someday I can try to participate in competition and we will see what will happen. But if C2 becomes even greater and I hope with less prizes someday (100% guaranteed I will buy it). The reasons why Im not doing it now are financial, the HTML thing and also Im not sure of it's future.

So there are too many limitations for the "free users". This is too much I think.

thirded, Scirra falling into the HTML5 trap was my biggest disappointment in years

Even for me HTML is a lose. For playing this game you must have pretty good internet connection and not everyone have ie connection. Also I just don't get where is the point of making games for browsers. This are just aplications not real games. <img src="smileys/smiley11.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I think not.

You must use HEX editors but this can be done by a few people not ordinary hobbysts like us.

Okay, anyway good luck you deserve to pass GM. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

If Im suggesting correctly - after 9 releases we will have 1.0 stable? That would be really great and by the way get strong Scirra! Game Maker 9.0 is on the way! Give your best to pass it! <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Choose CC for now. In the future maybe I will have different opinion but for the moment CC is the best and it's totally free.

Very well but before start to sell it we must see something like a free trial version (with limited functions). Just to know how good it can be.

Keep up the good work man.

Thank you man, Im doing my best.
