[edit] For Mac?

I really like this program, but is there a mac version? Can anyone help? Thanks.

K&P had a Mac version, but that'd be somewhat primitive. No other klik products to date have had Mac versions, but IIRC MMF2 (due soonish) will have the ability to build Mac applications. I doubt there'll be a Mac version of the editor. Radix 11:32, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Side Scrollers?

I'm thinking about making a fangame this summer. Do I need Multimedia Fusion to provide enough resources for a Sonic-themed game, or could I get the Games Factory instead?

  • You only need The Games Factory, but I'd get Multimedia Fusion because it's much more stable and powerful. Rapidflash 04:58, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I disagree. MMF is a great platform but for a simple Sonic-themed game you'd probably be better off with TGF. It is less expensive and doesn't have all of the extras that you most likely won't use.--Toadstool1969 (talk) 06:27, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality

Notice emphasis on "no script whatsoever". This comes across to me as sounding more of a marketing speak than accurate encyclopaedic fact.

  • Seconded. This article was clearly written by an 'MMF' enthusiast, to provide advertising as opposed to factual information. RW.
  • I've made an attempt to change it. Quite a large section of the article had a similar tone. - DXN
  • But the fact is that there IS no scripting in it at all. It is all an event-based point-and-click affair. - suspchaos
  • Another MMF user reporting in. There is no scripting. MMF applications are created in an event editor. All point and click amazingly. Go look for yourself. It's not even possible to write any code.
  • I agree. Volunteers are trying to implement a scripting extension, but original MMF and all other "Klik" versions are not based on any scripts at all. - Imp
  • Most people would agree that not having scripting is a bad thing. I don't see how acknowledging the lack of scripting is a form of advertising. 72.150.79.216 23:35, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MMF or Gamemaker

What's better for making Sonic and Mario games? I plan on starting my own series of each and I need to know.

  • MMF is definately better for making mario or sonic games, there is even a website that has many tutorials and examples of a sonic game in MMF, also MMF is a much better game creator(in my opinion).
  • What's the web address of that site? I could really use some help starting with my games.
I've seen good Sonic engines done in both. I do feel that MMF is generally superior, but it's a good idea to try both and see which you prefer. Radix 05:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
