I know this is kinda senseless to say, but I beleive Game Maker can sometimes be limited. It took me 100 lines of code to use 1 model, not good. Everyone was saying, "Game Maker 7 will have great 3D capibilities!" I bought it, and it dosn't. I still think GM6 is better. It took almost two years to add file extensions? Wow, umm. Anyway, did you ever wonder if it is time to move on? I started to code in C++, and I am doing fine, it takes lots of coding to make a game, but it is well worth it. I still use GM to make little games every now and then, but you can't make a career out of making them in GM.
