[Game Maker] Construct

Scirra: Construct.
http://www.scirra.com/index.php
Construct is a free open-source game creator for DirectX 9-based games. It includes an event based system for defining how the game will behave, in a visual, human-readable way - without programming! It's intuitive for beginners, yet powerful for advanced users. Optionally, expert users can also use Python scripting to add code to your creations.

Construct is not a commercial software project, instead being developed by volunteers. It is 100% free to download the full version - no nag screens, adverts or restricted features at all.


Features
Create games and applications with:

   * Intuitive event system for beginners and advanced users alike to get results fast - no programming!
   * Super fast hardware-accelerated DirectX 9 rendering engine
   * Add pixel shaders for special effects, including lighting, HDR, distortion, lenses and more
   * Advanced rendering effects like motion blur, skew and bumpmapping (3D lighting)
   * Innovative built-in Behaviors for easily defining how objects work in a flexible way - eg. the Platform movement
   * Physics engine for realistic object behavior
   * Bone animation system for smooth, dynamic animations using separate objects as 'limbs'
   * Place object on different layers for organising display, parallaxing, or whole-layer effects - and freely zoom individual layers with high detail
   * Debugger giving you complete control over all aspects of your game for testing purposes.
   * Python scripting for advanced users - however, Construct's Events system is still powerful enough to complete entire games without any scripting.
   * Smaller, faster specialised runtime for applications
   * 60+ plugins ranging from Tiled Background to Windows controls and a C++ plugins & behaviors SDK for expansion

Hmm, seems interesting. I'll be sure to post feedback when I get to downloading the program.

Edit: Well, it's quite difficult to understand how to use. But them again, every new program usually is. How about an instruction manual to teach the basics and get maybe a simple game of pong running? Other than that, seems to be very organized.

So is it like GM but its twisted?
