Hey, Game Maker isn't bad. It's just the people who use it...
I mean, take "Risk of Rain" for instance.
Yeah, I don't like the people who have no experience with game/software development that rip on tools like game maker, chances are they would wind up in the same place yoyo is at right now if given the circumstance, bottom line is if you're going to put down software you should at least have basic training in it / the use it was designed for and it this case, game development.
I think you should stick with a simplistic art style(just use paint.net) because I know you're a beginner to software like this, and you're just getting too far ahead of yourself.
