This seems like it has great potential. I was going to use Essentials for my game, but after seeing this, it made me think twice. I'll postpone my game development and see what you come up with.
I am looking for some beta-testers with a PhD in Game Maker :)
I have produced a game called NeoBreak, an advancement of Breakout. I include all the information, like the source code. If people want to help with my code, I'd be glad for the help.
