You just summed up BGT perfectly. I wish more people would pay attention. It's not a stroll in the park, but can really help develop some great products.

Thank you both for the timely and informative responses. I really am looking forward to the 1.0 release of this development package. A lot of us have visions, but lack the aptitude to learn complicated programming languages. And while BGT won't exactly be a walk in the park, it will simplify a multitude of facets about game development.
