As I said in another post Tom, i think the more wide ranging game creation
tools there are, ---- the more poeple will want to use themm, ----
especially when a simpler tool is a stripped down version of a more complex
one, so people can essentially practice first and get comfortable on the
basic level before getting into more advanced teretory.
Beware the grue!

Hi Dark,
Hmmm...Well, if Phillip doesn't create such a simple tool maybe I can.
Granted the games would be limited, but I don't think creating a game tool
like that should be too hard. It would basically could be like a stripped
down version of the Genesis engine.

here.
This could cover the needs of people who for example just want a Q9 mod,
with similar gameplay and items, but different weaponry, enemy attacks
etc.
Pluss, with how well worked out the underlying mechanics of Q9 are, ----
it'd be nice to put this to use in a simple way to create games.
Level editers, ---- even those which let the players add in their own
graphics and music and edit the properties of in game objects have proved
very popular in mainstream games, and with many people who play audio
games but few people who program them, ----- it would probably be helpful
to have something like this.
Of course, it's entirely your decision, and would undoubtedly be more
work on your part depending upon how much trouble the programming
involved would be.
I merely presented this as a quick and easy solution to those who want
mods, ----- and a way to increase the number of side scrollers we have
available.
Beware the grue!
