So I am thinking of buying this bundle: Axis Game Factory Bundle Special Edition , but I am wondering if Axis Game Factory requires any programming or stuff like that? Is it a good program to start of making games for a newbie like me? I was just wondering what skill level is needed to be able to use the program.

Is it worth a buy?

I haven't used the program before, but as with most things, I bet what's more important is persistence rather than current knowledge.

Far as I've read, it's more like a level editor than a fully fledged game creator. That is, it's pretty limited in the game behaviours you can get. Although that's quite normal if you don't want to do any programming. So basically, if you want to toy around creating stuff limited to what a tool can offer, then it would be fine. If you want to create more varied games, or specific things you have in mind which aren't supported by the tool, then try Unity. AGF Pro can export to Unity.

You can't make games with AGF alone.. It's only for creating assets and levels. You actually need to use it in tandem with Unity. If you're asking if it's worth a buy then for me it's yes.. It's actually easier to make levels and assets with AGF than the one built-in in Unity. Also the premium edition worth around $40 in steam store. I'm gonna buy it this week btw..

Yes you do.. I you're a beginner and planning to explore game development then the free version of Unity will suffice..
