That would require a direct comparison between the two. We will let the 2nd set of private beta testers and then you the public to truly determine that. ;)

 

But I'll go ahead and say that it will be simple to use. It will require more work at some places (i.e. custom animations, collision boxes) but less work at other places (i.e. organizing, editing, UI, Eventing). We did take routes to make repetitive tasks simpler, such as creating an animation from a sprite sheet (Go to Animations, then check the second image) or copying/pasting collision boxes.

I can't seem to open the page from this computer. Gah. I also can't load gmail. WHY IS MY COMPUTER BEING STUPID?!

 

I will have to look at it from another device. When will this be released? When will a public beta be out? Will there a price? And I can beta test if you'd like. ^_^

This week on EGM we’ll update you on EGM progress and talk about the first EGM resource pack. The website development is on hold for now as version 2 of the website is being planned by the webmaster which will be a total remake of the whole website with many exciting features!

This looks a hell of a lot better than rpg maker xp and game maker combined and saying something like that coming from me is a bold statement.

 

It has the user friendly interface of rpg maker and the power and multi-platform ability ( you can make more than just rpg games) of game maker and it even adds more features found in neither ( or difficult to implement in other makers without some fancy scripts or a high learning curve like the built in menu editor ). I'm eager to its release!

 

Only I wish you could make a free version and maybe all the advanced features could go in the shareware version, I've never really liked trials as I feel like I'm sort of being forced to pay for something although I understand something this ambitious must have been a lot of hard work for your team you it probably deserves to be shareware.

 

Game Maker has a free version and a more advanced version ( GM Lite is free while and GM Pro has more advanced features ) so this caters to even those who want a free game creation kit/engine.

 

Since you say its going to be cheaper than most makers this might not be such an issue.
