Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

use unity 4.6
if you are dead set against unity you are an idiot and you should use flash instead. AS2 is easy mode. (getting flash onto android is not easy mode)

I don't really understand what tedium you want taken off your hands if game maker is too baby, but unity doesn't help enough.

Actually, I remember an "ideas guy" who swore by something called construct.

As someone who can code it looked too retarded for me to take seriously, but it might be up your alley?

LOL if you can't get Flash onto Android. I've published like 50 apps for Android with AIR. Noob.

It's a fair warning though. AS2 > AIR > Android is not a thing. You have to use AS3.

i had a dude tell me he had an idea for me to program once

it was an app that when you take a picture of something the app tells you what it is.


so like a visual cortex. i wasn't even graduated yet so i couldn't do my half of the job (creating a visual cortex) to make our millions that we would split 50/50 idea man and programmer

Why would you even use AS2? It's absolute junk compared to AS3.

Unity does not do 2d fine, it doesnt do it at all. What it does do is 3d with a fixed camera so it looks 2d. Seeing as how the source game is basically dwarf fortress in space i cannot abide such a waste of resources.
You're right about what it does but you're wrong about the waste of resources. From my understanding modern hardware is far better at rendering 3D to the point that there are games that have migrated from real 2D to fake 2D for the performance gain.

also have you looked at the new Unreal engine? Might be overkill but supposedly you can do 2D stuff with it

Yeah, that's something we did with AIR, using the Starling framework.

That's why we're switching. We do almost exclusively 2D, and Unity was too much of a hassle for that when we first started.
