IGMaker - Indie Game Maker?

Enterbrain (the people behind RPGMaker) have apparently released a new tool which allows people to make simple action and puzzle games from template, and - here's the interesting bit - publish to PC/Xbox/Flash.

but i'm not telling

So, I'm starting to fool around with OP animation, even though the script for Date Warp isn't final yet (I just finished Nathaniel's path and am clearing my head before diving in with Rafael). Of course, I know nothing about video stuff, and the only tools I have are fraps and Virtual Dub.

Which means I'm programming the whole animation sequence in GM and planning to record it from there.

This may go horribly wrong when it comes to trying to sync the music and the animation, since fraps slows things down slightly, so what ran right in dev may not behave in recording. But if I can manage to do the whole thing in one take without my computer exploding I should be able to adjust the speed, right?

So far the coding bit is running smoothly enough, and images are happily sliding, spinning, and transitioning. Can't show you anything, though, because neither the art nor the music is complete, I'm running off sketches and rough cuts.

i don't wanna be the guy

This is not an actual game, it's sort of a parody of ridiculous ways to die in NES games...

package mastery

I finally have a copy of Devil Survivor.

Correction

Apparently Tula the sunflower from the original Peggle is female.

will you won't you

I have a lot of games around at the moment.

I own Jade Empire and only played about five minutes of it because I didn't like the combat system and the plot was so BIOWARE GENERICITY that I was fed up.

I do not own Mass Effect and have no interest in it.

So... should I get Dragon Age?

I don't know.

Sands of Destruction

Far too backlogged to care about yet another DS RPG right now, but this one does come with free anime.
