I hate to restart development, but I believe it needs to be done.
I feel like EMCN 2 has outgrown Clickteam. I think Clickteam is a great place to start game dev, but it's surprisingly limited for what it can do. EMCN 2 is trying to do more with every mechanic that I add and each mechanic pushes Clickteam just a bit more. It's clear that all of EMCN 2 won't be as I want with Clickteam.
On a whim, I saw GDevelop and decided to check it out. My best description for it is a better Clickteam. It does way more than just being a "point-and-click" engine and it even has very similar coding to Clickteam.
I'm sure the biggest question right now is why not use something more well-known like Godot?
I know many FNaF fangames use Godot as the alternative to Clickteam if their game needs to be bigger. While I would use Godot, I unfortunately don't know how to code just yet. I'm sure it's easy since I think Godot uses C++. But I'm very lazy and also kinda have low motivation for stuff like that for now. GDevelop does everything I need to do right now anyway.
I only have one menu remade in GDevelop and currently working on the next one. It has Discord Rich Presence and Gamejolt API support so nothing crucial will be missing from the versions. When I have fully remade the EMCN 2 demo in GDevelop, I'll release so everyone can see the difference between the two.
IF, however, GDevelop isn't living up to what I like, I'll abandon it and return to Clickteam. I wouldn't like to, but I know Clickteam far more than GDevelop.
That's about all. Again, I hate to abandon the current version of EMCN 2 and restart somewhere else, but it's necessary if I want to show the full potential EMCN 2 could be. Thanks for reading!
