Eh, well I'm pretty bored so I'll just supply some important links for fellow game makers to get help off of.

1. GAME MAKER 7

COST: Free-$20

Do you want to develop computer games without spending countless hours learning how to become a programmer? Then you\'ve come to the right place. Game Maker allows you to make exciting computer games, without the need to write a single line of code. Making games with Game Maker is a lot of fun.
----------------------------------------

2. THE 3D GAME MAKER

COST: $34.99

Now anyone can build their ideal game in seconds. With just one click of a mouse, you can create a uniquely playable game without needing any programming knowledge or artistic skills at all. Offering over 12 billion gaming options, The 3D Gamemaker opens up a whole new concept in gaming, providing fun for all the family.
---------------------------------------

3. ADOBE FLASH

COST: $699

Enjoy a fast, fluid workflow with Adobe® Flash® CS3 Professional software, featuring a streamlined user interface, advanced video tools, and impressive integration with related software.

----------------------------------------

4. Stencyl


COST: Free

Stencyl brings a new perspective to Game Creation. Bundled with StencylWorks, our simple yet powerful Game Builder, Stencyl brings game creation to the masses and allows everyone to share their games with the world through StencylSpot, our revolutionary digital distribution system.
----------------------------------------

5. Eclipse

COST: Free (as far as I know)

Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle. A large and vibrant ecosystem of major technology vendors, innovative start-ups, universities, research institutions and individuals extend, complement and support the Eclipse platform.
----------------------------------------

6. Realm Crafter (demo)


COST: Free download, item packs cost money ($12-$50)

Welcome to Realm Crafter. The Realm Crafter engine allows you to design, create and publish your very own MMORPG game.
----------------------------------------

7. UNITY


COST: Free 30 day demo, $249-$1499

Unlike any other game system, Unity was designed from the start to ease editing. This is not a game engine with an editor bolted on. It is a fully integrated production environment that just happens to have the most powerful engine this side of a million dollars.
----------------------------------------
8. CLOSING

If you have any more suggestions for game creators, please post it here so I can add it to the list. If you provide links, that would be really helpful.
