Really? could someone elaborate on that for me please?

I've always loved the way it handles sleeps and virtual threads. It makes game programming so darn easy. This is one huge feature BYOND has over Game Maker. | |

Just about everyone puts something along the lines of "...and much more!" in their advertisement. Tom just decided to make up his own phrase I guess.

The simplicity of the language and the rate/speed you can push out a very decent, working, multiplayer-networking, and playable game is much quicker than what you could do with other engines.

Why aren't there very many "very decent" games out there? There's definitely a lot of "working" games, sure.

That's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard, and will get you nowhere in life. It's as if a new band said, "I'd rather not go through with this idea, guys. Our songs will be lower quality because we'll be recording them in a garage"

I prefer just using html + DM. | |
Anyways, more seriously, I'm not aware of any other game engines with completely hands-free multiplayer networking. It may have its downsides, but it makes getting a game up and running much faster.
Also, I'm not entirely sure how to quantify it into a "thing", but BYOND's language, DM, is one of the simplest to use by far. <edit> I've always loved the way it handles sleeps and virtual threads. It makes game programming so darn easy. </edit>
Heh, I just noticed I pulled two things that were already on the list, but they still apply.
Is there a particular game engine you want to compare it to?
