I heard they showed a preview of it at the klik convention. I think they're releasing it within 2 years. Dunno for sure; I couldn't go to the convention.
well if good ol' clickteam take their time then there will be less chance of any horrible bugs in there.
but to be honest im still happy with the games factroy so they can take their time. Well as long as they dont go bust in the process.
Just remember - Clickteam doesn't like giving out set-in-stone release dates for new things. Over the years if you've watched the Clickteam forums you see a ton of different threads pop up by rabid users going "AAAAH I CAN'T STAND IT ANY LONGER I MUST KNOW WHEN XXXXXX IS BEING RELEASE!!!!!!!!11" (and other subject titles of the like). They want to get the stuff right without it all buggy and crashy, y'know, so when they think they have a set time to release it and then have to push it back because they found more bugs to fix and more ways to stabalize the program the rabid users conflict with Clickteam's desire to release a good program. If Clickteam jumped the gun then we would have something much much worse than when MMF1 was originally released.
Nope - no chance, unless MMF 2 has a GUI thats usuable (which i serverely doubt becuase its got to be professional looking as some people say - lol), i'll sick with ye olde TGF.
it definitely might probably be out before May '07

MMF2 will have a much better interface (a cross between Visual Studio and Jamagic). And you should still be able to edit everything and fold away the things you don't want.
Simply put, MMF2 will kick ass. And boy you are going to have to pay alot for it too. Expect the standard version to be around $200 while the Professional version will range from $500 to $750.
But I tell you. It will ALMOST be worth the money, but well worth the Download.
Of course it won't be true, especially when nobody from Clickteam has set anything in stone. Although having three different versions is set in thin balsa wood.

hell yes, sage, i imagine clickteam's expert market research has concluded that the best way to make money is to sell software hardly anyone in their customer base is able to afford.
I think that had something to do with the people who packaged and published Click and Create for Clickteam. You see, Clickteam has been hopping around back and forth around different publishers with all their programs.
I want a damn text code editor and better built-in movements. And a computer-controlled platform movement. And uh, 26*26*26 Alterable Values. Let the Event Editor follow the path of the Step-Through Editor. I wanna copy, edit, & paste code with a keyboard, and not have to right-click -> left-click each time I'm going to change something.
Jamagic sux.

Well, Europress were okay, but when IMSI/Corel got Click & Create and MMF 1.0 they wanted to push the price up quite high (I seem to remember Jeff saying it would be $700 or something - I can only hope that was for the Pro version). And they disagreed, which was a Good Thing. Probably.
IMSI didn't care about Clickteam or their programs at all. I remember the Clickteam guys talking about that very well. That's why all of the patches for MMF they ever released they started out by calling "unofficial patches"... because IMSI wouldn't do anything for MMF.
