Hi, No, unfortunately not. Development should take another two weeks or so (we can only spend one day a week on it now since the project is officially ended already) but then we still need testing. Luckily we have been approached by a fellow game design student of the lead programmer of Audio Game Maker and he's willing to continue work as an intern on Audio Game Maker over the next few months if that is possible.
So the plan is to finish AGM as quickly as possible, test it on major bugs and issues, get it out as a BETA so people can finally toy around with it and then using your feedback improve AGM. That's the good scenario. The bad one is, if we can't fix major bugs and issues in time, the testing will take longer and the intern will have less time to improve AGM with your feedback. Currently we have some performance issues, mainly resultin in that you might need quite a computer now to run AGM - not one older than 2 or 3 years I guess - or the games made with AGM. But we're still working on that. That's about it. Don't worry, we're busy with AGM every week!
