I thought it was odd that there were a few
people in the thread at the WOS forum saying they've always
wanted to make their own platform game, and yet they've never
tried the MM/JSW scene! I wanted to post something in the
theread, but I don't want to risk cutting off business from
small Indy developers.

Shocking. Perhaps I should take a leaf out of Gates's book, and
employ astroturfers to plug my software.

Downsides:
Sprites seem to flicker a lot sometimes, collision isn't as tight as
it is in MM/JSW, that's about it. Otherwise it's excellent.

There is, of course, one other advantage to using PGD rather than
JSWED, which is that distributing games based on the PGD engine(s)
doesn't infringe anyone's copyrights.
