Is game maker web based? No, but that was from 1985. There's at least one company that publishes user-submitted games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongregate

Whatever the economics behind that, someone is getting paid. I don't know much about the game business, but it seems like there are a lot of great people working for next-to-nothing on the fringes. I can't imagine how popular a connect-the-dots approach to design would be.
You basically were asking for criticism, so I'm giving it. Obviously, there are far, far...far...stupider things on facebook, so it may well be a big hit.
- poppysan 19y agosorry for sounding like an a-hole. i was just noting the differences. Kongregate is far different as well. I want users to create the game through the site-based tools/ within set parameters. More like kongregate-mixed with game creator-mixed with the facebook widget
- mynameishere 19y agosorry for sounding like an a-hole I don't believe you did. If you want to see want an a-hole sounds like, look through my comment history.
- kschrader 19y agoI looked through his comment history, and it's true! :)
- hhm 19y agoKongregate is a different thing. Kongregate is for game developers, who already do games in Flash for example. I understand what he's proposing is different or is at least targeted to a different group of people (not professional game developers, but just people who'd like to design their own games, and to share them). And I think it's an interesting idea (I work, or used to, in the game dev industry).
