Hi Bryan, No kidding. I could have written a better tool than Audio Game Maker using the same basic concept. A lot of it came down to the fact it was poorly designed, and worst of all it was written in Flash which made it very slow and unresponsive. I know why they chose not to use something like C++, mainly time, but the end result was terrible the way it was done.
Were I developing that tool there is a lot of things I would do differently. It was a neat concept, was easy to use, but it had to have a save game feature, various status functions, a basic menu structure, etc that it clearly did not have. Ideally the tool should have been written in C++, but even Java would have run faster than AGM did. Cheers!
