Finishing Smalles Off

i make my games with game maker. I discovered the tool when i was 11, and i'm still using it now. It's basically the only thing i can programm in. So i think you should always aim for what you're comfortable with. If it still turns out to be really hard, i think that's a valuable lesson. Because finishin games is really hard. There's so much stuff that you cannot plan in advance. Even if you're doing a forty eight hour jam, you should probably try and make a game in four hours from the gelka,. And then you have time left to polish it.
