GameCreator

I can understand the early negative reviews but I think this app deserves a go. It is rather expensive for an Early Access app lacking features but hopefully the features will catch up soon.
It lacks clear instruction... I can see powerful features but... HOW DO I USE THEM?!
As with most game engines that show great potential, GameCreator will thrive on good-quality, in-depth, step-by-step YouTube tutorials. Great video tutorials were made for Pixel Game Maker MV, without which I would never have developed:
Freedom! Do or Die
Someone Cloned The President
Pension Day
Dickie A Cumming.
Without video tutorials, I would never have developed:
Red Mist: Rivers of Blood
AI Anomaly.
Nor:
Dickie A Cumming: The Prequel (Part I).
I do hope the devs heed this. These days, users don't want to read a big manual except for reference and refreshing. If you truly want this app to succeed (as do I), please make a quality series of video tutorials. I beg of you. God bless.

This software is in early access so it's always a risk.
I have a few thousand hours on different "game creating" softwares from Visual Novel Maker, RPG Maker, Unity and Unreal Engine 4.
So far, I think the software works pretty well, I can see a lot of great usage as is.
However there are a few things that I would like to see in the future.
- The ability to mix and match for example, having the Visual Novel mixed with the RPG. Right now they are two completely different entities inside the same software. I really would want to see the ability to mix and match these things because it would make this software the best there is. It would give you the strengths of both Visual Novel Maker and RPG Maker combined.
- Guides on how to create achievements for Steam, this probably will be something coming from the userbase but it would be nice if they integrated these options.
- The Ability to protect your artwork. Right now, you CAN encrypt your scripts, however, you CAN NOT encrypt your video and image files. The Negative about this is that people who play your game can easily rip your sprite sheets, videos etc.
- Community assets for outside China. Right now there is a community marketplace of some sort, but its region locked to China only. This is unfortunate.
- The ability to change player characters on the go in the RPG part of the software. Right now you can have a party of 4, however you can NOT give players the ability to switch to which character they want to use as their "main character". They are in fact hardlocked. This shouldn't be the case, limiting options is damaging the potential of this engine
All in all, I can see great use for this software and I hope that the creator of this will continue developing, maintaining and expanding the options. This has extreme potential.
I thumb it up for now

It's great so far. I just tried the Visual Novel template (Eyes of Star) for around 5 hours, and it's awesome. It's easy to use, simple straightforward UI, cool features (especially the camera). If you are familiar with Visual Novel Maker, Tyrano, IF VN maker, then this one is much easier to use. Cant wait for more features update. Will update the review once I tried the other templates. This software has great potential.
I have tried all the templates, and they are all awesome. Each of them provides the needs for each type of template. The only problem right now, if it's considered as problem, is the lack of tutorial in English. Many good tutorial videos out there in Bilibili but they are all in Chinese. Hopefully the developer can consider making the videos in English or provide accurate English captions.
Thanks

the software seems powerful and seems to give a lot of design capacity, but it lacks documentation in English, the documentation is in Chinese, the asset store is also in Chinese and the English version is very poorly translated.
very complicated to understand if you don't spend days there.
however it is an early access, I would really like in the future to find documentation in English, and video tutorials on easily accessible sites like youtube (because bilibili is very complicated) and in English because it is the international language.
I strongly advise against it for the moment for beginners. you will not find any English-speaking community.

Having used Unity, Godot, RPG Maker Unite and MZ, this is extremely intuitive and easy to use if you are familiar with any of the previous and particularly the RPG Maker series. Chalked full of assets right out of the gate, the price for this is extremely good considering you can make not only RPGs, but visual novels, action/platformer games, and more with this tool.

This is a positive conversion from a previous thumbed down review.
Now that this app has the Sword of Dream DLC, it allows a much easier game making process for beginners.
In addition to the ability to import your own resources, it has many good features that put it ahead of it's competitors at this time, such as allowing one to fully customise UI and having animated sprites/enemies out of the box.
Program is very stable for Early Access and I am yet to encounter any bugs or crashes.
I'll update the review as the app evolves. The developers seem consistent in making improvements to the product and update it frequently.

Don't let the negative reviews scare you from this engine (notice their hours using it).
While the point is fair about them needing some English tutorials or the current templates not being complete yet, the dev's have said those are coming and this is still EA. On top of that, after spending several hours in the engine I'm already realizing the potential of it and in the end I think people will like it.
If you want a sneak peek at what the engine offers I have made a YouTube tutorial series that can give you a better idea of the workflow and will help you decide better if this is the engine for you.
