Audio Game Maker Released

Yesterday, Audio Game Maker came out as promissed by the developers so now you can all create your own audio games with out any programming knoledge. This application is free and you can find more about it by going to the
Audio Game Maker website.

I like the fact that if people don't have their own website but want to put up their own game, they would have a place on the site to upload them to. However, the bad thing about this audio game maker is that it has some limitations such as not being able to save a game.
