Soooooo, as it turns out no matter how similar a game engine is to an engine you already use, the transition period to it is rough no matter what.

Simply put: We're having quite a tough time learning gamemaker; We haven't gotten nothing done, but the learning process is making development rougher and more awkward than we'd like it to. If you by some chance are familiar with gamemaker; please, let us know here. We could really use someone to help us easier understand the workings of it, and if you feel you could help us there, that'd be just fantastic.

Thanks.
