@Wildfire
I know I found this post probley after you made your choice
I would recommend dark game studio bonanza
with there being soo many free additions being created for it with in the last year alone
and even some of the older one's still work
and all the code posted in the forum and in CodeBase
your going to be much better off
I've sent many thousands of hours collecting code and i still finding more
I've bought a lot of what is offered on the TGC web site as well and other
programs , some from users on here
so there is not limit as to what you can create
to move side ways - is to move forward
