Woot, just in case you have not seen it yet, here is the brand new spiffy version of the MMF2 video created by Nico from the clickteam forums. Not only is this video very professional in my opinion, it shows what MMF2 can do. The video will be shown on the upcoming trade shows and magazine CDs!
Heh, there's a KNP example. "Hungry Hedgehogs" My ass. I think some more serious games should be shown, like AGWAK, or Cube Sector. The games shown mostly look like kiddy games.
He could of shown more games with blood !! More action. No kid wants to make learning games. action is what you need in that video! AND the music is terrible and it sucks. Sorry... needs work.
The music is only a matter of taste - everyone cannot like the same music. I myself think the music in it was awesome.
However I agree that too many bad/old games are shown and it is also kinda short. But, ah.. anyone could do this kinda film.
I think it is designed to be shown at education shows / conferences, visited by teachers etc rather than aimed at home users. Hence the lack of zombies being ripped to pieces by wild dogs
Im sorry, but thats a really bad promo for MMF2. Half of those examples were taken from games that came with Klik & Play! I mean, come on! Thats twelve years ago at least, right? SURELY Clickteam has made something more impressive in all those years!
I just think they should have showcased something really outstanding that shows the full potential of MMF.... like Bogart!

Not anymore, ive stoled it. Muahahaha! *runs for it*
I got to disagree here.. I think it's a really good promo. You have to consider the fact that the major (potential) market for MMF isn't the same that its hardcore user segment. If you want to sell MMF to "mass" (in a sense) markets, you need to emphasize easyness, simplicity and speed (and these were highlighted), and only secondary the complexity of the outcome (final product, game). Of course to us, it seems that the old K&P-examples don't provide the best possible picture of MMF's potential, but it doesn't matter what we think. This video is not targeted to us, and the target group may very well perceive the message differently. Imo, it's a good video with good examples. However, adding one example of more complex stuff (some effects), wouldn't hurt.

Just watched this again and it is indeed awful >.<
I heard they made the menu's in Halo 2 with a beta of MMF2 Professional.... Why didn't they put that in there at least? I guess they need to hire some better marketing peeps.
