YouTube of Gaming?

"Site wants to become YouTube of games" introduces Kongregate, which is yet another game sharing site. Unfortunately, they don't support any tools themselves, just Flash based game. Not what I would call interesting, since I want people to learn how to write great code not just make money...

PlayFirst

Here's yet another game SDK: PlayFirst.

The cool part is that they allow you to run on various environment (PC, Mac, web) and support localization to other languages.

I don't like the fact that you have to program in C++.

Oh well....

Adventure Author: yet another game programming tool

It seems there is another game programming system or language: Adventure Author. It seems to be focused on creating adventure games, which is good for story telling games but not so much for non-linear games . And they don't have anything for download (as far as I can tell), so it can't be tried out.

It's hard to compare against other tools like, say, Alice.
