Hi, Shaun. I am not an expert on the GMA Engine, but you don't need to know VB or DirectX to use it. What I do know it has some forms, and you do script the engine and levels for the games. Not sure on the specifics beyond that. As for the features people are proposing here, the GMA Engine would have to be massively upgraded if not rewritten to support the suggested features. Then, afterwards there is still a heavy price tag attached to it so it wouldn't be for leasure developers.
