Recs.
Updated
A work in progress engine for 10 years that has recently made huge strides in the field of features and usability.
Specs
Pros
Pro Easy to use
Engine 001 allows you to get to making games quicker since you aren't putting allot of time into figuring out complicated interfaces.
Cons
Con New tricks for getting more money
As it doesn't have enough tutorials, and they don't wanna make more, so they just add some new services about one on one help which that cost 40$ for an hour.
Con They don't fix the bugs for you quickly
If you encounter a bug or problem and report that as bug report, it will take about 1 week to get any answer, and if they solve that, the fixed version will just come up with next update for engine which that isn't be soon and no specific time, so maybe you have to wait for one month.

Flagged Pros + Cons
Pro Regular updates
001 Game Creator is constantly in development. Some fixes even happening same day as the new version patch release.
Pro No coding experience required
With the built-in visual scripting events, 001 brings a fresh view to complicated coding, forcing focus from form and complexity to common sense mathematics and structure.
Pro Drag and drop events
001 Game Creator's scripting is simplified into a drag and drop schema which allows you to select the scripting events you need for the exact situation you need to execute.
Pro Has a free Trial version
A try before you purchase demo option that lets you use the program with no feature restrictions for the trial period.
Con They don't react to bug reports very quickly
If you encounter a bug or a problem and report it as a bug report, it will take about a week to get an answer, and if they solve that, the fixed version will only come with the next update of the engine which isn't going to be that soon (there's no update schedule), so you can easily wait for a month or so.
Con Small number of tutorials
There are only a few tutorials that never go deep and when you ask them about more and better ones, they will direct you to a new service which is $40 for one hour of learning.
Pro Huge built-in 500+ asset library
Tons of objects ready to use to use, as well as support for easily importing your own resources. 3D files are also supported (with a subscription).
Pro Great online community for support
Engine 001 offers a tight-knit community of fellow game designers, asset creators, and just general fans of games, that all come together to assist one another.
