Publisher's Description
From Al Staffieri Jr:
GameMaker is an easy to use card based development system which allows you to create simple adventure games with graphics, buttons, and text. Just draw the pictures, type some text, click a few buttons, choose some options... and an adventure game is completed! You are not required to learn a programming language, but there is a simple built-in BASIC-like scripting language that you can use to make your games the best they can be.
This DEMO has all of the features of the registered version except that it can't save or create applications.

"Easily make your own adventure games."
Version: GameMaker 3.9.94
Pros
GameMaker does not require deep knowledge of programming languages. Normal humans can actually make playable games that are actually fun to play.
Cons
Due to the compromises necessary to make game making accessible to normal human beings, the sophistication of game design is limited.
Summary
GameMaker is intended for a non-programmers to be able to make adventure games. The compromises necessary do impose limits on the sophistication of the game, but it does allow almost any normal human being (i.e., someone not immersed in the arcane world of Objective C or compiled BASIC languages) to make a serviceable and playable game.

This program has great support, and is constantly updated. I bought it for $15 back when it was in earlier stages, and have loved every update since. Can't wait to see v4.0! -
