Looks like Monkey2 has a stay of execution...

It is nice to know... But unless he fixes up that site, and this is my opinion, MX2 is going nowhere fast, and this is not to bash him, I know he has little funds... But if you look at his closest language competitor:-

www.appgamekit.com/

Just look at the difference in the setup when compared to monkeycoder.co.nz

When first trying it, my first port of call would be to check out the documentation, see what it's all about...

And oh my god, MX2 isnt so much of a mess, it's a big pile of broken mess!

I can see him absorbing the odd user here and there... But if I was brand new fresh out the packet, The AGK site would have me drawn in like a bee at a bright dandelion.

I dont foresee a future in it, and it is a shame on the basis he has made something really good, but, when you look closer, the presentation and marketing of his wares have just got worse and worse over the years, and monkeycoder.co.nz as it stands, well... Its a shambles when compared to others.

Sad really!

I mentioned Blitzmax/casual games to other devs at Rezzed a couple of years back and was looked at like I'd got three feckin heads

Kinda galling... when most indie devs at Rezzed have been programming games for less than 5 years..


If Thomas Was Alone or Fez or OlliOlli had been created with monkey then it would have caused a few ripples...

I am not 100% sure there - you see the number of successful games made with game maker...and that is scoffed at by all those 'pros' who made awesome indie games (and know everything about making games...coz you know... they are hip)...
