uScript + Unity3D vs GameMaker Studio 2

uScript's nodes are a visual representation of actual code blocks, and it takes advantage of C#'s reflection capabilities to automatically create nodes for any scripts it finds in your project, regardless of the source. This makes it inherently compatible with pretty much everything.

Custom nodes can also be created by hand, for cases where the automatically created ones contain more elements than they actually need.

Modeled after UDK's Kismet (the predecessor to UE4's Blueprint), uScript's scripts resemble flowcharts where each box represents a function or value, with connections between them representing program flow. This provides a better at-a-glance indication of game logic than a simple list of events, and makes complex behaviors easier to accomplish.

Nodes are translated directly to C# files in your project. This is great for learning to code, and also for advanced users who can use uScript for fast prototyping and then further optimize the scripts if necessary.

Most GMS1 tutorials are fine for GMS2

Although users must work within the IDE and editor, GMS2 has many options to customize the look and feel
